Renewable Energy Access reports on the Power-Gen International conference recently held in Las Vegas, where GE announced plans to build a major wind power project in Shenyang, China.
At this year's Power-Gen International conference this week, one of the more significant announcements came from GE Energy's flagship renewable energy division, which produces commercial-scale wind turbines.
When completed in 2007, the Jiangsu Rudong Concession II Wind Project in Jiangsu Province will add 150 MW of wind power capacity to China's electricity grid.

"The Chinese government's leadership in encouraging new renewable energy development will bring both cleaner power alternatives and new economic development to the people of China," said Robert Gleitz, general manager of GE Energy's wind segment.
"Once built, Jiangsu Rudong Concession II will be a world-class project; it also underscores GE's commitment to our Chinese customers' cleaner technology needs as it marks our first delivery of locally assembled wind turbines with more than 70 percent local content."
The Jiangsu Rudong Concession II Wind Project is an extension of a project launched in 2002 by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), and will be located on the Subei Plain near Nantong, in east-central China about 50 kilometers from the East China Sea.
Other key participants in the project include China Long Yuan Electric Power Co. (CLYPG), the parent company of Jiangsu Longyuan Wind Power Company; and China GuoDian Group, the parent company of CLYPG.
Once complete, the project is expected to annually displace the production of approximately 246,000 tons of CO2 (greenhouse gases) and 895 tons of sulfur dioxide, the leading cause of acid rain.
In addition to supplying the turbines for the Rudong project, GE Energy will provide technical service for installation, commissioning and training.
