Global Wind Energy Leader Proud to Sponsor China’s Premier Offshore Wind Energy Event
Shanghai, June 29 – Vestas, the global wind energy leader, intends to play an active role in China’s offshore wind energy sector, as underlined by being the lead sponsor of Offshore Wind China 2009 Conference and Exhibition.
The exhibition, held in Shanghai at the Regal International East Asia Hotel, is a major wind energy industry event in China and will feature major players in the Chinese and global wind energy industry as well as key government and industry decision makers.
Vestas Offshore President Anders Søe-Jensen will speak to the conference on the opening day on 29th June 2009.
“Everyone knows about the incredible growth and development of China’s onshore wind energy sector,” says Lars Andersen, President of Vestas China. “But China also has great offshore wind energy resources which can be an important source of clean energy for China for the future. That’s what this conference is about and we look forward to participating in this important event and in playing a key role in supporting the development of China's offshore wind energy sector.”
For China to make the most of its development in offshore wind it is of great importance that competent and experienced partners are involved.
“Being the first mover in building offshore power plants and a global leader in offshore wind energy, Vestas is a very experienced player in this field,” says Anders Søe-Jensen. “We see the Chinese offshore market as one of most important future wind energy markets in the world. Offshore wind requires very specific skills and knowledge, something that Vestas has gained through years of experience”
Søe-Jensen says Vestas Offshore will establish an office in China this year and hopes to play a leading role in the offshore wind sector: “We are committed to help develop the wind energy industry in China and will be happy to share our experience through partnerships with interested parties. Vestas is already talking to potential partners in China and is open to talk to any potential partners about offshore wind energy in China.”
