Offshore wind power market draw great attention

It is learned recently that Chinese Renewable Energy Industries Association, Global Wind Energy Council and Shanghai international Exhibition Co., Ltd of the Shanghai Branch of China Council for the Promotion of international Trade will jointly hold the "2010 Shanghai international Off shore Wind power (wind turbine) and Wind power (wind turbine) industrial Chain Conference and Exhibition", which is the first professional platform focusing on offshore wind power (wind turbine) market in Asia, in Shanghai during June 7--9, 2010. The activity will provide enterprises with the opportunity of meeting, exchange and display in terms of design, installation and management of offshore wind power (wind turbine) projects and R&D and supporting of offshore wind turbines. It aims to promote the sound development of China's offshore wind power (wind turbine) market and wind power (wind turbine) industrial chain. The exhibition received great support from National Energy Administration, Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission, Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and informatization, Jiangsu Development and Reform Commission, Zhejiang Development and Reform Commission, Shandong Development and Reform Commission, Fujian DeveIopment and Reform Commission and Guangdong DeveIopment and Reform Commission. Li Junfeng, Secretary General of Chinese Renewable Energy industries Association, said that, "The activity is still at an early stage, but we are confident that it is a prospective platform and will have a sound development momentum." Arthouros Zervos, Secretary General of Global Wind Energy Council, said that, "Without the 70% localization rate for wind power (wind turbine) equipment (wind turbine), more advanced wind power (wind turbine) technology will drive stratght in China and make the competition even more fierce. This activity can build an international exchange and cooperation platform in this respect."
