03 一 12 determine who will develop the wind farms
This year the Government has moved further forward in exploiting the potential offshore. In January it introduced offshore regulations, confirming that projects will be allocated via a state concession tendering process to determine who will develop the wind farms, as well as the price to be paid for the power generated. Under the regulation, only majority Chinese-owned ventures can undertake offshore wind project development.
The NEA issued the first tender call in May. This invited bids to develop four pilot projects totalling 1 GW in Jiangsu, with the results due to be announced in September. Two of the projects, Dafeng and Dongtai, are inter-tidal. Both will be 200 MW in capacity. The other two, Binhai and Sheyang, classified as fully offshore, will be 300 MW each.
Representing an expected investment of CNY20 billion and with expectations high that a further tender for another 5 GW is likely to be issued within the next few years, there has been a flurry of interest and activity from developers and equipment suppliers alike. China’s leading wind turbine generator developer, China Longyuan Power Group, is one of the known bidders in the 1 GW tender, while other domestic giants like Guangdong and China Power Investment Corporation are also expected to be contenders.
Longyuan has also set up an offshore wind turbines manufacturing 50:50 joint venture (JV) in Nantong City, Jiangsu, in partnership with Zhenhua Heavy Industry Company. The new venture, called Jiangsu Longyuan Zhenhua Marine Engineering Company, will focus on the manufacturing of small wind turbines and installation of steel structures, while also offering full construction, installation and maintenance services for offshore wind farms, including the provision of foundation systems and subsea cables.

15 十二 11 European onshore wind power generators market
Europe is the world pioneer in wind power development and technology standard-setter, Denmark, Germany, Spain, the strength of the particularly strong. According to the European Wind Energy Association’s statistics, the European wind turbine manufacturers in the European domestic market share up to 89%. After 20 years of development, the European onshore wind power generators market is already very mature, basic saturation. With the German Wind Energy Association (German Wind Energy Association) main Perth (Hermann Albers), then, the German land-based wind turbine has been “a little crowded,” the.
On the other hand, Germany’s onshore wind power market is still facing a new round of growth, the focus is not only the development of new small wind turbines farm, but the replacement (repowering) over or near existing operating life (15 years -20 years) old-fashioned fan. To encourage fan replacement, the German government in 2009, “German Renewable Energy Act” (German Renewable Energies Act) was amended, operators get 0.5 euro cents per kilowatt-hour replacement incentive. This is limited to land development and utilization in the case, by updating the existing fan to produce more electricity.
According to the German Wind Energy Institute (German Wind Energy Institute) statistics, in 2010 Germany had a total of 56 116 MW of wind turbines were removed, replaced by a total of 80 183 megawatts of new generating units. Replacement in the next few years will continue to increase. Currently, most wind turbine manufacturers in Germany for the onshore wind power development to a minimum 1.5-megawatt wind turbine, the largest up to 3.5 MW.
This wind turbine manufacturers is a huge opportunity. However, the “New Century” with Germany in exchange of some of the industry, the majority of people of Chinese wind turbine manufacturers entering the field are not good.
German Federal Department of Trade and Investment Renewable Energy Resources Project Manager with good Corti Anne Broughton Farm (Anne Bräutigam) that the German onshore wind power market has been very mature, operators and manufacturers have also established close co-operation and marketing relationships. The key is, as banks in providing loans to developers, requiring the developer to choose through the certification authority and have a good track record of running the (tracking record) manufacturers, and the Chinese wind turbine manufacturers lack adequate qualifications and certification to run record, it is difficult to be recognized.
Many people like to use Chinese enterprises in the export of solar photovoltaic panels to do the comparison, that the Chinese fans will follow suit – China’s current exports of solar photovoltaic products, international markets accounted for 70% to 80%. In this regard, the German Wind Energy Association’s “New Energy” magazine editor Hanna Mei pointed out that solar and home wind turbines market is completely different, the two can not be a simple analogy.

18 十一 11 Develop windmill power and related industries
In recent years, Denmark and the full use of regional resources, to develop wind power and related industries, has achieved remarkable results. At present, Denmark has built hundreds of onshore wind farms and a number of large offshore wind farm Danish Energy Agency data show that 2010, total installed capacity of wind turbines in Denmark has reached 3800 MW, accounting for 25% of the total generating capacity of which offshore wind farm installed capacity of 423 MW from 2008 up to 868 MW in 2010.
Wind power cooperative ownership structure of industry
Danish wind farm is unique in its ownership structure of the collectivization, ordinary people can be added to the Government’s strong support for wind power projects, wind farm shares a shareholder holding of local residents by the way, a good solution local residents due to wind noise 、 destruction of landscape and other negative factors arising from the resistance.
Copenhagen Business School professor Peter • Ka Yueer that the cooperative form of ownership is a long tradition in Denmark, the Danish bank 、 dairies and slaughterhouses and other industries have a wealth of operational experience, onshore wind farm in the 1970s began to Using this form of operation for those who have backyard wind turbine residents, the windmill turning at the same time, a steady stream of money flowing into their bank accounts.
Middelgrunden is Denmark’s first cooperative ownership structure approach to offshore wind farm operation, located in Copenhagen, East Coast, formed by the 20 windmills on the Taiwan Strait. The wind farm began operating in 2000, the total investment amount of about 48 million euros available 8856 shareholders, their shares can be traded freely.
Middelgrunden wind power cooperative board member Hans • Christian • Selun Sen is an engineer, working for sustainable energy industry, told Xinhua News Agency reporters: “Denmark, the use of cooperative ownership structure model, is to make more people to participate in the wind them to power plan, which not only make people more receptive to wind power projects, while avoiding the local residents reject wind power project. ”
Cooperation with Middelgrunden wind farm ownership structure of this idea was first proposed in 1993, after local residents and non-governmental organizations, reached after consultation. Selun Sen said: “You pay DKK 4250 (1 U.S. dollar equals 5.5 Danish kroner) to purchase a share, and then return 600 Danish kroner per year, which means that the initial return on investment of 14% to 15% since then yield will be slightly lower, but the full cost recoverable after more than a decade, but also get 7% The annual rate of return. people are very satisfied with this result, because the money in the bank than the higher income also contributed to environmental protection. “

31 十 11 China began to develop wind power industry
Wind power industry from 2011 listed companies published reports, the first half of 2011 profits of China’s wind power equipment business decline significantly, which the industry leader in wind turbine manufacturers Sinovel, Goldwind net profit decreased by 48.3% , 45%, profit is minimal. The low-end enterprise in the industry in 2011 to take a slice of this market is clearly more difficult, some companies are at a loss of status, fan manufacturing overcapacity, the industry restructuring around the corner.
In 2005, China began to develop windmill power industry, wind power capacity doubled in growth each year, until the end of 2010, China’s total installed capacity had reached 42.3 million kilowatts in 2010, new installed capacity of 18 million kilowatts. 6 years later, China’s wind power industry has made no small achievement, China’s wind power equipment localization rate of 90%, the world’s installed capacity. Wind power equipment company in the world rankings, China has three companies in the top 10, Sinovel in the second in the world, its market share reached 11.1%; Goldwind fourth; Dongfang Electric seventh bit. However, creating a problem can not be ignored: the wind power manufacturing industry overcapacity. According to statistics, China’s wind turbine generator industry, the top 4 Sinovel, Goldwind, Dongfang Electric, United Power total production capacity has reached 10 million kilowatts, and our fan manufacturing industry in general the actual capacity of more than 25 million kilowatts. From this point of view, is overcapacity had to face the fact that corporate restructuring soon.
General advice is still the energy industry analysts pointed out that although China’s wind turbine manufacturing industry, the top four companies accounted for 40% of the overall, but in general, more than 80 companies, the fan manufacturing industry concentration is still not high.
It is still common advisory issued the “2010-2013 Chinese windmill generator fan made fan-depth market analysis report” that is expected in 2020, China’s total installed capacity will reach 150 million kilowatts -2 million kilowatts. Wind power industry mergers and acquisitions has been kicked off, all companies are to survive, and how better to make greater efforts to survive.

24 九 11 China large-scale wind power and photovoltaic base
Held here from 20 in the “new energy, new materials feature Matchmaking” was informed that Xinjiang has organized the preparation of 12 wind zone project planning, by 2015 wind power capacity will reach 8.5 million kilowatts, will be built in Xinjiang, China large-scale windmill power and photovoltaic base.
By the State Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Government of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, jointly organized the “transfer industry in Xinjiang, China 2011 series docking activities” held from 19 to 20, “new energy, new materials feature Matchmaking” is the series of activities.
According to the Xinjiang Energy Department, the responsible person, considering the wind resources in Xinjiang, network conditions, market conditions and other consumptive basis, it has already organized the preparation of Dabancheng, thirteen rooms, grass lake, 12 Santanghu wind turbines manufacturers areas such as project planning, the planned total size of 11 million kilowatts.
Up to now, build wind power installed capacity in Xinjiang 1.35 million kilowatts in wind power projects 650,000 kilowatts. According to reports, in addition to the 12 already completed the preparation of the wind zone project planning, there are still Bavaria, Changji, Yili and other small wind turbines zone in carrying out the wind and other preparatory work, the conditions have to be prepared after the start project planning. By then, the size of the area planning Xinjiang wind 13 million kilowatts, can satisfy the “five-second” 8.5 million kilowatts of wind power development goals.
In addition to wind power, Xinjiang is the country’s one of the best solar energy resources. Currently Hamilton 2 million kilowatts, Turpan 2 million kilowatts, Wada 20,000 kilowatts other three large-scale photovoltaic power plants are under construction, is expected early next year to build production.
Xinjiang Development and Reform Commission, said wind power project development area to the wind project in strict accordance with the requirements of planning, new energy development plan in line with Xinjiang’s requirements and objectives, combined with local economic and social development, network conditions, electricity demand, the priority development of wind energy, solar resource-rich areas, to prevent the split and blind development and construction resources.

20 九 11 The United States is a key component of Goldwind’s international growth
The agreement is part of ambitious international expansion plans for the company, China’s second-largest wind turbines producer by new capacity sold. The project, Xinjiang Goldwind’s largest U.S. project to date, underscores the ability of Chinese renewable-energy companies to make inroads into the U.S., despite widespread criticism in the U.S. that Chinese companies have unfairly benefited from government subsidies.
“The United States is a key component of Goldwind’s international growth,” Xinjiang Goldwind Chairman and Chief Executive Wu Gang said in a prepared in a statement. “Goldwind has generated a competitive global footprint, and we are focused on continuing that momentum, continuing to demonstrate our technology advantages and continuing to build out our global supply chain.”
The administration of U.S. President Barack Obama hopes it can reinvigorate the country’s sluggish economy and spur job growth in part by bolstering the U.S. renewable-energy industry. But some people in the industry say Chinese companies undercut U.S. rivals on price because they get generous subsidies from the Chinese wind turbine generator government. Under pressure from the Obama administration, China in June agreed to end many subsidies for its domestic wind-power-equipment manufacturers.
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, on a trade mission to China, said criticisms of global expansion efforts by Chinese renewable companies were overstated. Just as the U.S. wants China to open its markets to foreign companies, Illinois shouldn’t close its market to Chinese companies like Xinjiang Goldwind, he said.
“If a Chinese wind developer sees an opportunity in Illinois, we’re going to embrace them with open arms,” Gov. Quinn, a Democrat, said in an interview on Monday.
Xinjiang Goldwind spokesman Yao Yu said half of the parts and components for the Illinois wind farm would be supplied by U.S. manufacturers, such as Broadwind Energy Inc. of Naperville, Ill. The 109.5-megawatt wind farm will be located about 100 miles west of Chicago and is expected to be connected to the grid around June, Mr. Yao said.
