◆China to boost offshore wind power generation

In 2009, China had only 63,000 kilowatts offshore wind turbines installed, about 21 percent of the newly installed offshore wind power in the United Kingdom, the fastest growing country of the year.
The year 2010 marked the start of China's offshore wind power sector's transition from research and pilot projects to operational wind farms.
◆Developing offshore wind farms in these areas will reduce local energy shortages and avoid the problem of long-distance transmission experienced by China's major land-based wind farms.
◆Global wind turbine makers, including Vestas, Sinovel and Siemens, will participate in the event.
