    The exhibition will be attended by manufacturers of
wind turbine, providers of components and supporting
equipment for wind power generating facilities, as well as
wind power service providers. The exhibition has a
projected occupation area of 10,000 sq m. 7 world leading
wind turbine manufactures, namely Vestas, GE, Suzlon,
Nordex, Siemens, Repower, and Acciona, have signed
contracts to attend the exhibition. Internally famous wind
power enterprises such as Shanghai Electric, Windey, and
NGC also will be on the list of attendees; while Britain,
renowned for its rapidly developing off shore wind power,
will appear in the air as an international exposition
delegation. Enterprises providing supporting equipments
such as manufacturers of gears, fasteners, composite
material, lubricants, and electric enterprises are also
avid about attending the exhibition. Adding to the attendee
list, service enterprises related to wind power equipment
such as enterprises of authentication, wind measurement,
consultation, meteorology, operation, and investment also
will participate in this event. 

    During the event, the organizers will hold a
high-ranking forum which will be attended by approximately
400 people; a large number of wind power experts,
entrepreneurs, and governmental officials will be invited
to join the forum. Topics cover the status quo and
projection of wind power development at home and abroad,
policy and market, off shore wind power exploitation, wind
resource and meteorology, wind power generating
technologies, wind power network, wind power project
investment, et al. 

    The appeal of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions
is increasingly gaining ground; as a sort of clean and
efficient energy source, wind power has already shown great
potential in the facets of coping with weather change,
alleviating energy security pressure, meeting energy needs.
For the moment, global wind power generating capacity has
surpassed 70,000,000 KW, with a yearly market value of 12
billion euros (an equivalent to $14 billion). Although the
biggest wind power market is seen in Europe for the moment,
development in Asia, North America, and other regions is
also quite rapid. In 2006, the increase rate in China
scored as high as 65%.

    China is endowed with a bountiful pool of available
wind power resource measuring 1 billion KW (250 million KW
on land, 750 million KW offshore). According to the
objective set forth by China's wind power development plan,
countrywide wind power generating capacity will reach 50 and
300 million KW by 2010 and 2020. In the course of "11th
five-year plan" a total number of 30 large-scale wind
power projects with individual capacities of 100,000 KW
will be set up in China's wind power resource-rich regions,
namely the eastern coast, the northwest, north, and
northeast regions of China. 

    "Wind Power Shanghai 2007" will come as a
full-aspect, multi-level platform of information
communication, cooperation, and trade for China's
rapidly-developing wind power market and industry, and will
give impetus to the further prosperity of wind power causes
across the world and throughout China alike.
