The summit was co-hosted by the China Energy Research Association Renewable

Energy Professional Committee (CREIA), the China Renewable Energy Association

Wind Energy Professional Committee (CWEA), the Global Wind Energy Council

(GWEC) and Wind Energy Magazine.

Li Junfeng, Chairman of the Renewable Energy Committee of the China Energy

Research Association, remarked, "In the post Covid-19 era, many countries

including China have put forward a timetable for reducing emissions. Renewable

energy has been increasing its presence in national energy security, energy

transition and energy autonomy."

The Forum provided an in-depth analysis of opportunities in the offshore wind

power market of both developed and emerging markets. This comes as China

launched a guide on offshore wind power for sea planning usage during a time

when the country's offshore wind power sector is growing rapidly.

"If we look at China, offshore wind energy will have a very strong growth

momentum in the future. Globally, we believe the market will range from 30GW to

230GW, with emerging markets the most important in this process," said Alastair

Dutton, Chairman of the Global Wind Council's Offshore Wind Power Working Group

who introduced the global offshore wind market and emerging markets.

Focusing on the themes of offshore wind power policy, market and technology,

Shanghai Electric's presentation discussed how to effectively reduce the full

life cycle cost of offshore wind farms by constructing a reasonable system to

enhance the reliability of equipment and components.

"Our vision is to build the road of offshore wind power development with

Chinese characteristics," Jin Xiaolong, Vice President of Shanghai Electric

Group and Party Secretary and Chairman of Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group

Co., Ltd pointed out.

Jin added, "Shanghai Electric has been considering the design, construction and

development stage of offshore wind farm from the perspective of full life cycle

cost management and closely integrated into China's wind power ecosystem.

As a service provider in the whole lifecycle of wind power systems, Shanghai

Electric has built strategic partnerships with international companies in

almost every segment of the value chain including generators, gearboxes,

bearings, digital tools and platforms for R&D and design, promoting the

high-quality development of offshore wind power."
