Small power no wind power tender "cake"

The world's third-largest wind power generation company, Suzlan Energy of India, failed to get a slice of China's first round of bidding for wind power, but the company is not willing. Chairman of the Suzlan team Tan Yi recently unveiled a Nuggets China offshore wind plan in Beijing.

“We plan to invest in a 6.1MW wind turbine manufacturing plant in China.” After attending the Davos Forum in Tianjin, Tan Zhen said in an exclusive interview with the “First Financial Daily” that “China's first round of offshore wind power bidding and bid competitions No use of our products."

The Suzlon blower was not purchased because the company's factory in China currently produces the largest blower power of only 2.1 MW, which still cannot meet the power requirements of offshore wind power.

On September 10th, China's first round of 1 million kilowatts offshore wind power concession project tender was opened in Beijing. The central government China Power Investment Group invested 0.6101 yuan/kWh in 2 projects, although this price was considered by some experts to be Let the operating companies lose money, but Tan Hao still believes that China's offshore wind power prospects are very good.

At present, European offshore wind power is commonly used in 3 ~ 5MW models. Tan Hao believes that China's offshore wind turbines should use at least 3MW of wind turbines.

And this power model, the current domestic wind turbine manufacturer Huarui Wind Power, Goldwind Technology (19.73, -0.08, -0.40%) (002202.SZ) and other companies can produce. In addition, several companies such as Sinovel are in the manufacturing phase of the 5MW prototype, and more powerful fans are also in the R&D phase, such as 8MW wind turbines.

“We are looking for a partner in China for Ruineng Company and we hope to cooperate with a Chinese company with offshore engineering experience to build a production base and produce 6.1MW wind turbines, which will all be supplied to the offshore wind market.” Say.

Now, because of the fierce competition in China's domestic market, Suzlon has to use China as its global fan supply base. Tan Hao revealed that the company plans to start exporting wind turbines through the Chinese factory in 2011. This is also the first time that foreign-funded wind turbine manufacturers have exported wind turbines through Chinese factories, which is also the largest single.

Tan Hao said: "I hope to use China as a manufacturing base for Suzlon blowers to supply exports from overseas markets because China's wind turbine manufacturing costs are the lowest in the world."
