    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.
