Wind Industry Dynamics In China
There is the potential for China to invest $200 billion in wind turbine components and
projects through 2020
The Chinese government has substantially increased its goal for installed wind
energy capacity by 2020, during the past two years. Since 2008, the goal has
increased from 20 GW to 30 GW to 120 GW and, most recently in July 2009, to 150 GW
China is expected to surpass the United States as the world’s largest market for wind
turbines
The Chinese government recently announced the $17.6 billion, 20 GW “Three Gorges
Wind Power” project in Northwest China
China’s wind power industry is expected to reach 30 GW of capacity by 2010
China’s current renewable energy usage rate is 16% and the Chinese government
recently increased its goal for 2020 to 23%, which is similar to European targets
The Chinese government will offer bank loans with subsidized interest rates to wind
farm operators

Wind Power Propels Our Business Model
China needs to add nearly 9x the amount
of electricity generation as the United
States does
-International Energy Agency
Chinese investment in coal-fired power
projects declined by 11% while
investment in wind power increased by
44% in 2009
-National Energy Administration
(China)
“Total power generation in China is on
track to pass the United States in 2012.”
-The New York Times, January 2010

Where We Fit in Wind Power
China is a world leader in the advancement of wind power
The Chinese government invested approximately $111 billion in power construction
projects in 2009
Wind turbines contain highly technical components that are creating a supply
bottleneck
China Wind Systems has demonstrated solid execution of its business plan by
becoming a key supplier of many wind-power components, in which end users are
international wind power players

Strategic Move to Focus on Electro-Slag Remelted
(ESR) Forged Products
ESR technology is used to increase the durability and quality of
steel material used particularly for components in high precision
yaw bearings
Inadequate supply of high quality precision forged products in the
large-sized wind turbine sector in China has created an industry
bottleneck
Well positioned to reap the high margin opportunity supplying
superior quality, high performance forged products starting March
2010
At full manufacturing capacity of 6,000 tons per year, gross
margin is expected to reach 37%
Signed preliminary agreement to supply 12,000 tons of ESR
forged products over 2.5 years
