China’s latest Five Year Plan sets a target of 150GW of combined onshore and offshore wind in China by 2020 with an export goal of 5GW of wind turbines. In addition, the Plan accelerates China’s effort to improve the operation, management, capital and technological capability of Chinese wind power developers and equipment manufacturers. For U.S. players, the Chinese government’s efforts provide an opportunity to obtain favorable financing, pricing and contract terms for Chinese wind turbines and to participate in the growing Chinese wind market through investments in equipment manufacturers.
As the two top wind power markets in the world, U.S. and China will continue to drive global growth in the wind sector in the foreseeable future. Therefore, it is increasingly important that industry participants understand the different legal and policy frameworks, business environment and assumptions, and wind power market dynamics of both countries. Only with a clear grasp of the factors driving developments of the U.S. and Chinese wind power market will you be able to successfully evaluate where the best investment and business prospects are and how to take advantage of them.
At Infocast’s first annual US-China Wind Summit in 2010, experts from the US- and China- based wind communities offered in-depth explanations, analysis and case studies on how wind works on both sides of the Pacific, providing valuable shared context for both national industries. At the 2nd annual US-China Wind Summit, December 13-15, 2011 in San Francisco, CA, wind power project developers, manufacturers and suppliers, investors and financiers, and market advisors from the U.S. and China will once again come together to share business perspectives, establish strategic partnerships, assess investment opportunities, and build the value chain necessary to take advantage of cross-border cooperation between these two dynamic markets.
The Summit has been carefully designed to provide a rich opportunity for face-to-face discussions and unparalleled networking opportunities where everyone will have a chance to meet the people and establish the business relationships that will permit US-China cooperation in this dynamic industry.
