Shanghai Electric wins 125 units of 2MW wind turbine deal from India


Shanghai Electric had signed an agreement with KSK Energy of India to export 125 units of 2MW wind turbines to India, an executive of the Shanghai-based company, who declined to be named, said Sunday.

This indicates that Shanghai Electric is marching into the world wind power market on a large scale, the executive said.

So far, Shanghai Electric, one of China’s largest equipment manufacturers, had exported five MW-level wind turbines, with three to Britain and two to Thailand.

Shanghai Electric’s priority is to produce thermal and nuclear power generating units, such as 1,000MW-level ultra super-critical thermal power units and 1,000MW-level nuclear power units, the executive said.

To tap the emerging new energy business, Shanghai Electric set up a wind power equipment manufacturing branch in 2006. It is able to produce 1.25MW wind turbines with Germany’s Dewind technology, 2MW wind turbines with Germany’s Aerodyn technology, and independently designed 3.6MW offshore wind turbines.

India is expected to become a major destination of the company’s export strategy, absorbing one half of its exports, including thermal power units and wind turbines.
