Wind Power Propels Our Business Model

“The Chinese government  recently
revised the wind [energy] target from 30
gigawatts to 150 gigawatts of generating
capacity by 2020.”

Forbes, July 2009

“The [Chinese] government has set on-
grid tariffs at between 0.51 yuan ($0.075)
and 0.61 yuan ($0.090) per kilowatt-hour
… about 20 percent higher than rates
determined in 2006.”

Bloomberg News, July 2009

This year China is on track to pass the
United States as the world’s largest
market for wind turbines — after doubling
wind power capacity in each of the last
four years.”

New York Times, July 2009

Wind Industry Dynamics In China

China is expected to surpass the United States as the world’s largest market for wind
turbines in 2009

The Chinese government recently announced the $17.6 billion, 20 GW “Three Gorges
Wind Power” project in Northwest China

The Chinese government has substantially increased its goal for installed wind
energy capacity by 2020, during the past year. 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’s wind power industry is expected to reach 30 GW of capacity by 2010

There is the potential for China to invest $200 billion in wind turbine components and
projects through 2020

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

Components

Where We Fit in Wind Power

Wind power is a promising, growing industry with strong potential

China is a world leader in the advancement of wind power

Wind turbines contain highly technical components that are creating a supply
bottleneck

China Wind has market advantages in making large forged wind-power components

China Wind 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

Industry Bottleneck Secures Our Opportunity

The Chinese government mandates that 70% of wind
turbine components be manufactured locally, encouraging
domestic suppliers

Increases in wind turbine size will prolong this supply
constraint

Limited supply of large-sized forged products wind
turbines at least 2 MW

China Wind Systems’ primary strategic focus is to solve
the bottleneck by providing forged components, including
forged rolled rings, gear rims, and shafts used in
gearboxes and yaw bearings
