China’s A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd has concluded phase one of its wind turbine production facility in Shenyang.
The first phase of the largest wind turbine in the country is a
reported 31,000 square meter production facility with the capability to
manufacture 300 2.5MW wind turbines and 420 750kW wind turbines
annually. CEO of A-Power, Jinxiang Lu, said that "This marks a
significant event for A-Power as we anticipate that the wind business
will quickly become a significant contributor to our revenue and
earnings.”
The company is currently in talks with component suppliers at home and
abroad and the outcome of these discussions are expected to turn 2.5MW
units into contracts and obtain additional orders for both our 2.5MW
and 750kW wind turbines.
Jinxiang Lu said that “Based on ongoing discussions with potential
customers, we expect that orders will quickly exceed the capacity of
our new facility. As a result, we have already laid the foundation for
phase two.” The second phase is due to start in the fourth quarter next
year and expected to be completed in four months. At the end of phase
two A-Power will have the capability to manufacture 400 2.5MW wind
turbines and 550 750kW wind.
