â€ÂChina has a huge demand for electrical energy, and wind power plants can be established quickly, which is a big advantage compared to other energy sourcesâ€Â, says Svend Sigaard, President and CEO of Vestas Wind Systems A/S and continues: “Wind energy is expected to play an increasing role in the general energy supply – also in China, and Vestas has great expectations to the Chinese marketâ€Â.
The order is one of a total of 20 concession projects, each of 100 MW, which the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) plans to establish before 2010. Furthermore, NDRC anticipates that a total of 500,000 MW of new generating capacity will be installed in China before 2020, and a significant part of the new capacity is expected to be based on wind power.
The concession projects are based on the condition that part of the wind power project must be manufactured locally.
