SHANGHAI, May 30, 2012

- Offshore Wind China 2012 Conference and Exhibition to take place in

Shanghai at the end of this month

SHANGHAI

,

May 30, 2012

/PRNewswire/ -- The Offshore Wind China 2012

Conference and Exhibition,

Asia

's largest and the world's second largest wind

power event, will take place in

Shanghai

between 30 May and

1 June 2012

, with

the aim of promoting offshore wind power development not only locally in the

Shanghai

area but also worldwide. The exhibition session will take place at

Shanghai New International Expo Center, while the meeting session will be held

at Shangri-La's Kerry Hotel Pudong. The sector's leading companies both from

within and outside of China will take part in this largest ever event.

The event is jointly organized by the Renewable Energy Professional Committee

of China Association of Resource Comprehensive Utilization, Chinese

Renewable Energy Industries Committee, China National Renewable Energy

Centre and Shanghai International Exhibition Co., Ltd. (a subsidiary of the

Council for the Promotion of International Trade Shanghai). Sinovel Wind Group

Co., Ltd. is the sponsor.

China plans to boost the advancement of offshore wind power technologies and

related equipment through the construction of a series of demonstration

projects, paving the way for the sound development of offshore wind power

facilities, according to the country's wind power development plans for the next

five years. With a primary focus on development of projects in

Hebei

,

Jiangsu

and

Shandong

provinces, the country also aims to speed up offshore wind

power development along the coasts of

Zhejiang

,

Fujian

,

Guangdong

,

Guangxi

and

Hainan

provinces as well as in

Shanghai

. By 2015, facilities with installed

capacity of 5 million KW are scheduled to be put into operation, while additional

projects with installed capacity of 5 million KW will be under construction,

creating a comprehensive array of offshore wind power technologies and a

bottom-up industry chain. With mass production of offshore wind power

equipment, together with state-of-art technologies, China's part of the sector is

expected to become one of leading offshore wind power markets worldwide in

the years following 2015. The country's installed capacity is expected to reach

30 million KW by 2020, at which point, based on projections, China will become

the world's largest offshore wind power market. With a focus on offshore wind

power development,

Shanghai

will speed up the construction of large wind

power bases, according to plans already laid out for the 2011-2015 period.

Shanghai

will witness the completion of offshore facilities in Donghai Bridge,

Lingang and Fengxian by 2015, while onshore ones in Chongming, Changxing

and Laogang will be expanded. At the time, the city's installed wind power

capacity is forecast to reach an estimated 1 million KW.

Li Junfeng, Director of the National Climate Change Strategy Research and

International Cooperation Center and Chairman of the Renewable Energy

Professional Committee of China Association of Resource Comprehensive

Utilization, said in an interview that China will enhance its efforts at improving

the country's energy mix, ensuring energy security and providing a solution in

response to climate change, while enhancing wind power development. He

added that China's offshore wind power development is entering a critical

period therefore one cannot just sit on one's hands and engage in idle talk. It

behooves the country to develop practical solutions that take in account the

environmental, political and business concerns, come up with a coordinated

approach to dealing with those concerns and then act on that approach. To

promote the development of the sector, the Offshore Wind China 2012

Conference and Exhibition will provide an in-depth analysis of the status,

challenges and solutions concerning both domestic and foreign wind power

development from the perspectives of complete offshore installations, delivery

to and installation of equipment to offshore locations, operation and

maintenance as well as grid connection and energy conservation, proving an

ideal platform for information exchange and cooperation and for the healthy

development of China's offshore wind power sector.

Event Highlights:

Highlight 1: Participation by Leading Wind Power Firms From Around

the World

The world's major offshore wind turbine manufacturers and supporting facility

providers across the offshore wind power ecosystem will be in attendance,

including Sinovel, Vestas, Guodian United Power, Shanghai Electric, Siemens,

HE-GE Wind Energy, China Ming Yang Wind Power, Xiangtan Electric

Manufacturing, CSIC Haizhuang Windpower Equipment, Gamesa and Shandong

Changxing Group.

The event will feature over 95 guest speakers from the National Energy

Administration, State Oceanic Administration, regional bureaus of the National

Development and Reform Commission, developers, research institutions,

training organizations and market-leading companies, all of whom will discuss

and share technical know-how concerning the manufacturing, engineering and

design, construction and installation as well operation and maintenance of wind

power facilities. Fifteen sessions, including a panel discussion among several

wind power project developers, and special sessions on learning from existing

domestic and foreign offshore wind farms, complete wind power facilities,

operation and maintenance, turbine blades and the materials used to construct

them, construction of offshore units, bearings and gears, dealing with corrosion

at offshore facilities, certification, power transmission and distribution, and

investment and financing, will be held during the event to promote and

examine offshore wind power development, technical advancement,

engineering and technical skills required across the wind power industry chain

and the overall competitiveness of the offshore wind sector. The event is

expected to attract over 600 registered visitors, more than 40 percent of which

will be from aboard.

Highlight 2: Strong Support from the Chinese Government

The National Energy Administration and the State Oceanic Administration of

China will head up the efforts of several local government agencies, including

the Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission, the Shanghai

Economic and Information Technology Commission, the Science and

Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality, the Jiangsu Provincial Energy

Bureau, the Zhejiang Provincial Energy Bureau, the Shandong Provincial

Development and Reform Commission, the Guangdong Provincial Development

and Reform Commission and the Zhejiang Economic and Information

Technology Commission, to support the event.

Highlight 3: International Agencies and Organizations Make Their

Contribution

Organizations in countries whose offshore wind power industries are already

well established, including the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), Holland

Home of Wind Energy (HHWE), the Danish Export Association, UK Trade &

Investment (UKTI), Scottish Development International, the Delegation of
