recently, mr. xie changjun, president of china longyuan power group corporation limited(abbreviated as “china longyuan power”), has been listed among 2012 world’s 30 most influential figures of wind power industry which have been selected by the latest issue of british monthly “window of world’s wind power”. meanwhile, he ranks third in the list. the appraisal committee highly recognized his contribution to wind power industry over the years. “at present, china longyuan power led by him has become the largest chinese wind power development company as well as the second largest one in the world. he has been served in china guodian corporation for many years and he is an expert in engineering technology. in addition, he has shown his aspiration to expand the international market.” top 1 in the list is ditlev engel, president of vestas, world’s largest manufacturer of wind turbines. top 2 is henrik stiesdal, cto of siemens. among the list there are two chinese entrepreneurs.
mr. xie changjun has focused on chinese wind power industry with extraordinary courage and insight since he took the position of the president of china longyuan power in july 2001. particularly, guided by china guodian corporation’s strategy of “ushering in the business transformation by vigorously developing the new energy”, he has insisted on great development of clean energy, promoted the implementation of national energy-saving and emission-reduction policy and led the company to a healthy development road which features enterprise transformation led by green energy. more than ten years, as the pioneer in the field of chinese new energy development, china longyuan power has always taken the lead. in the past five years, its installation scale of wind power turbines has grown by 70.8% annually. as of june 30, 2012, its holding installed capacity had reached 8994mw, ranking first in china and asia, and second in the world. as a result, it has created the “longyuan speed” in chinese new energy industry. in 2011, the company made a total profit of rmb 3.609 billion yuan, 4.1 times of that five years ago. therefore, it realized the simultaneous development of scale and profit. in 2009, china longyuan power became a listed company in hkse successfully, raising rmb17.7 billion yuan. it set up several records for the iop of the chinese power enterprises in the overseas market, such as the largest money that had been raised and the highest p/e. it has become the first stock of state-owned holding company in real sense that has appeared in international capital market. it can be called china’s “first stock of new energy” and it has won the precious opportunity of development.
mr. xie said that the key to the company’s success is “professional management”. much attention has been paid to “professional” in the company’s development of new energy. after years of accumulation, the company has constructed ten supporting system of wind power technology and service, forming unique advantages in many fields, including preliminary wind measurement, design and consultation, equipment procurement, operation monitoring, check and maintenance, technological r&d, and professional training. in terms of production and operation, the average utilization hours and available rate of equipment of its wind power turbines are higher than those of the national average. as a result, the smooth generation level of equipment has been greatly improved. in terms of cost control, through centralized control of capital and diversified financing system, the company has fully enhanced its financing ability. on the premise of ensuring the safety of funds, it has tried its best to reduce the cost of funds. the company promotes intensive, professional and systematic management of wind power development. the core competitiveness of the enterprise has been successively fortified through management innovation.
facing the increasingly intensive competition pattern of wind power market, mr. xie has directed his attention to a new development again. by the end of 2011, china longyuan power had set up china’s largest offshore intertidal wind farm whose installed capacity is 131mw. it had grasped the single pile driving technology--- the core construction technology of offshore wind power. in july 2011, it completed its acquisition of canada’s 100mw wind power project successfully. therefore, it had become the first state-owned generation enterprise that invested in overseas new energy project. the company is active to promote the development of china’s wind power in terms of high altitude and low wind speed and meanwhile, it has set up china’s first large low wind speed wind farm in anhui province. the company gives emphasis on the diversified development of other new energies. the pv generation project has grown into certain scale. up to now, the company has built 90mw large grid-connected pv generation project. besides, it has entered the field of micro-grid and explored new technologies of pv application.
mr. xie said that the company would continue to stick to the strategy of “ushering in the business transformation by vigorously developing the new energy”, optimize its structure of power source, and accumulate more valuable experience for the nation’s development of low carbon economy.
