Over 130 exhibitors from 18 countries and regions presented their equipment and services covering the whole wind power industrial chain, including wind power generators (whole machines), spare parts/materials, project development/operation, wind farm management, installation and transport, financial investment, wind forecast/meteorological institutions, authentication and wind power industry services, covering an area of 9,000 m2 at the Shanghai International Exhibition Center. The size of the exhibition and the attendance of major international wind power equipment manufacturers such as Vestas, Suzlon, GE Wind Energy, Nordex, Siemens, Asiaelectric, Scheneider and ABB comprehensively showed the industry's confidence in China's wind power market and indicated increasingly close cooperative relationships between Chinese and foreign wind power circles. The popularity of Futiannordwind, a Sino-foreign joint venture, also seemed to demonstrate to us that it was the future development trend of China's wind power industry for Chinese enterprises to establish joint ventures with foreign investors and for foreign investors to set up exclusively owned enterprises. Also, as this is currently the most important event in China's own wind power industry, many well-known domestic enterprises came to exchange wind power technology and to exhibit products. This list included Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai Electric, Windey Engineering Co., Ltd., Huayi Electric Co. Ltd., Zhonghang (Baoding) Huiteng Windpower Equipment Co., Ltd., and Yongji Electric Machine Factory.
The three-day exhibition attracted 7,127 enthusiastic visitors from 36 countries and regions. Media competed to report on the event and the exhibition's press center was filled by the 62 attending media agencies that included Xinhua News Agency, China News Service, Wenhui Daily, Jiefang Daily SMG News Center and SINA.com.
Jiang Yiren, Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Shanghai Committee, visited the exhibition and expressed his ardent expectations, "Holding exhibitions should have a sense of responsibility and it should be creative. Breakthroughs should be made in holding new exhibitions, and more high-tech and advanced exhibitions should be held." He also noted, "Breakthroughs should also be made in holding less attractive exhibitions to make them bigger. Enthusiasm is necessary for doing all kinds of work."
As an important component of this event, Wind Power Shanghai 2007 finished all the agendas at the Sheraton Grand Tai Ping Yang Hotel, Shanghai, and received 60 papers. 108 people delivered speeches at the three-day event and 430 representatives from 14 countries attended. The topics of these speeches covered domestic and foreign policies, experience, technology, markets, forecasts and project development and operation in relation to wind power, wind farms at sea, investment and financing, etc. All sectors concerned with wind power, including governments, enterprises, research institutes and NGOs participated and jointly made it a high-level, high-standard wind power event.
Mr. Shi Lishan, Deputy Director of the State Development and Reform Commission, gave a keynote speech at the event and Huang Guancong, Vice Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Shanghai Committee also attended its opening ceremony along with other leaders.
Wind power resources, a clean and renewable new energy, are abundant in China. Although the wind power generation is in its infancy here in China, its development momentum is favourable thanks to the support of favourable policies and there will be much room for its development in the future. The successful delivery of this event will further promote the healthy and rapid development of China's wind power market and industry.
