China Wind Market Venture http://www.iwpower.com.cn
China’s Insigma Group has joined forces with Wind Prospect and RidgeWind
to further their activities in this growing wind energy market. The consortium
combines three unique aspects; vast international wind power experience, significant
financing capabilities and an established and innovative Chinese power market
construction and engineering team. The joint venture company is IW
Power Co. Ltd, which is focussed on the development, financing, construction
and operation of wind farms. In addition, IW Power is offering technical
and commercial services to developers, project investors and financial institutions.
Insigma’s China experiences gained from being commissioned as Engineer-Procure-Construct
(EPC) contractors of power plants, flu-gas desulphurisation units (FDG) and recently
subways all around China, will offer power market expertise, engineering and project
management capabilities. Wind Prospect’s skills and expertise
gained by being involved in nearly 2,000MW of approved wind farms in China, UK,
Australia and Ireland, will assist the venture by way of complementing the already
skilled staff with additional technical and commercial capabilities relating to
wind energy. RidgeWind’s capabilities stem from over 400MW of wind farm
development, and the financial strength of its US and Chinese affiliates. RidgeWind’s
principals have over 100 years of combined international energy market expertise
to compliment the financing capability necessary to enter the wind energy market
in China. IW Power has established Hangzhou and Beijing offices. Whilst
ideally located for projects in eastern and northern China, the company plans
to work in all suitable provinces. Managing Director, James Pennay
said: “China must be congratulated for its world leading wind energy targets,
as it is aspiring to 30,000MW of clean secure wind power by 2020. Based on this,
IW Power is focussed on being an integral contributor to all aspects of the wind
farm value chain. We have a strong team and are well positioned to offer the Chinese
wind market a unique set of qualities, including vast technical expertise, investment
capabilities and a great construction and engineering team.” For
