Concern about China’s sunlight plan, focus on Shenzhen solar PV exhibition

SHENZHEN, CHINA: The 6th China International Solar Photovoltaic Exhibition, which is the largest scale and the most specialized solar photovoltaic exhibition in Southern China (i.e. Sino-EU International Solar Photovoltaic Development Forum) will be held in Shenzhen convention & exhibition center on the 25-27 September, 2010.

This exhibition is an unprecedentedly grand occasion, and the exhibition area covers 30,000sqm, gathering more than 360 domestic and overseas solar PV enterprises, who come from USA, Germany, Japan, South Korea, HK, Macao and Taiwan, such as Suntech, Yingli Solar, CEEG, Best Solar, Solarfun, Canadian solar, TÜV Rheinland Group, kingyoup Enterprises Co., Ltd, Power solar, CSUN, Kyocera, JinkoSolar.

The Chinese government has already drawn a draft of 10-year planning for clean energy. By 2020, clean energy will weigh 15 percent among the total structure of energy consumption. Zhang Guobao, the head of the China National Energy Bureau, said that Chinese government will invest billions of RMB Yuan to research and develop the solar and renewable energy technology.

The state council of the P.R. China has already established China National Energy Committee in January 2010. Premier Wen Jiabao is appointed as the Minister of China National energy Committee. To achieve the target that Premier Wen Jiabao had made in the Copenhagen Conference, there will be a great upsurge in constructing Solar Photovoltaic in the coming five years.

Basically, we can achieve the target within five years although it is a 10-year project. Otherwise, these facilities will be unable to be used before 2020. The highest legislature in China has already approved a revision of renewable energy law, requiring China Power Grid to purchase all the power produced by renewable energy power station. This reflects the important strategic position for renewable energy industry. China’s policy will provide global cooperators with more opportunities in the renewable energy industry.
