Several points stand out (my translation):
(1) “General Electric Drivetrain Technology (Shenyang) Co., Ltd. project leader Li Tong, pointing at the industrial park chart, says: This is a wind power gear box project, a US$70+ million investment. It is the only GE Transportation production project outside the United States. The project will bring about a revolution in wind power – it will extend the service life of the 20~40 tons gear box to 20 years. The project will officially go into production by August 31, with an annual output of 1,200 units.”
(2) “…In our March 15 [2010] interview, Liaoning High-tech Energy Group Wind Division General Manager Wang Yunbo said in excitement: "We are now a versatile wind player; we are capable of not only producing 225~ 750 KW turbines, but also 1.5 MW, 2.0 MW, and 2.7 MW high-capacity turbines." The company started its production last year. This year the wind turbine orders came rushing in, the production is in its full capacity. Among them, the production of a 300-turbine order for export is in full swing. [Note: Yes, the article says 300-turbine. The article also mentions the 240-turbine Texas project. Therefore, the 300 may or may not be a typo. Is there another 60 turbines export order?]
(3) APWR’s Wang Yunbo further introduced that the company is planning in Hunnan New District [an economic development zone where APWR’s wind division is located] an area of several square kilometers of wind power eco-industrial park, aiming to establish a wind power supply chain base.
(4) Shenyang Hunnan New District Administrative Committee, A-Power, United States Won Kai Investment Company [translated from its Chinese pronunciation; I am not sure what its English name is] signed an agreement to build a new energy production base in the Hunnan, expecting to attract US$500 million investment, and in the next 3~5 years to achieve US$4.4~7.3 billion (30~50 billion yuan) revenue, aiming to become the largest, most advanced, satellite city-type wind power equipment production base in northeast China.
