BloombergNEF Ranks Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group in Top Five Wind Turbine Manufacturers of 2021 in China

SHANGHAI, April 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group (“Shanghai Electric Wind Power” or “the Company”) has been named as one of the top five wind turbine manufacturers in China, with its newly added offshore wind capacity overtaking all the other industry players in China in 2021, according to BloombergNEF’s China’s Top 10 Wind Turbine Manufacturers in 2021 report.

The report, which ranks China’s wind turbine manufacturers based on new turbines installed throughout 2021, shows that Shanghai Electric Wind Power took the number five spot by increasing its wind capacity by 5.18GW, securing 9 percent of the market share in China. The Company retains the top spot in the offshore wind scene as the Company’s newly installed offshore capacity grew by 4.1GW over the year.

“In light of the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and fierce market competition triggered by the looming end to offshore wind subsidies, Shanghai Electric Wind Power overcame the challenges and broke multiple industry records, winning recognition from our partners for our exceptional installation efficiency, as well as product and service quality. These accolades from the industry have given us fresh impetus as we continue to reshape China’s wind power sector in an effort to accelerate towards carbon peak and neutrality goals,” Shanghai Electric wrote in a statement.

 In 2021, China’s newly installed wind capacity increased 55.8GW in total, a slight dip of 3% from 2020, passing the 50GW threshold for the second year in a row. It comes at a time when China’s wind power sector is contending with market uncertainties posed by surges in global commodity prices as well supply chain disruptions. Last year saw commissioning rates offshore shooting up 351% by adding 14.2GW, while domestic onshore capacity dropped by 23% from its peak in 2020, to 41.6GW in 2021.

Established in 2006, Shanghai Electric Wind Power offers services including wind turbine manufacturing, wind farm operation and maintenance (O&M), wind resource assessment, digitized wind farm investment and development, wind farm asset management, smart energy and more. The Company’s product portfolios feature wind turbines with capacity ranging from 1.25MW to 10MW.

The last decade and a half have seen the Company launch itself to become the largest offshore wind turbine manufacturer in China, cementing its leadership in the global new energy sector. In May 2021, Shanghai Electric Wind Power launched an initial public offering on the Shanghai Stock Exchange Science and Technology Innovation Board, through which the Company can further expand investment into the R&D of its core technology.

 Last year, Shanghai Electric Wind Power also unveiled its Petrel platform SEW11.0-208 to the world. The flagship direct-drive turbine, which is the company’s full proprietary intellectual property, features a nameplate capacity of 11 MW – the largest of its kind in Asia – marking a major breakthrough for China’s homegrown innovation in offshore wind technology.

With the development of cutting-edge technology sitting at the forefront of its strategy, the Company seeks cooperation with top-tier wind power companies in the hope of jointly driving forward the global new energy sector. Now, the Company is expanding its upstream and downstream partnerships, with the business focus centered on digitized wind farm development and smart O&M, transforming itself into a full-cycle service provider. Aiming to become a world-class wind power company, Shanghai Electric Wind Power is ramping up its global presence, bringing its high-quality products and services to customers worldwide.

بريان إيفانز في المرتبة الثالثة في الرسوم البيانية المعاصرة للبالغين عبر PlayMPE، متجاوزا Mick Jagger

لوس أنجلوس، 30 أبريل/نيسان 2022 / PRNewswire / — شاهد بريان إيفانز، المغني المعروف بأدائه في لاس فيجاس، وافتتاحه لأمثال جوان ريفرز، وجاي لينو، وسووشل ديستورشن، وإرازور، والعديد من الآخرين، أغنيته “أيام أ ترافلر I’m A Traveler ” تقفز إلى المرتبة 3 على تصنيف الفنان الأكثر تنزيلا على PlayMPE على الرسم البياني المعاصر للبالغين، متجاوزا أسطورة رولينج ستونز لميك جاغر الذي يحتل المرتبة 7.

“نحن بصراحة مصدومون. سجل بريان هذه الأغنية قبل 9 سنوات، من إنتاج نارادا مايكل والدن، ولم يرسلها أبدا إلى الراديو “، كما يقول جيسي ستينجر من ESW Management .

أنتج هذه الأغنية نارادا مايكل والدن، منتج ويتني هيوستن، أريثا فرانكلين، جورج مايكل وآخرين، الحائز على جائزة جرامي.

قال والدن في مقطع فيديو نشر على يوتيوب: “يتابع برايان خطوات العظماء، سيناترا، وتوم جونز، وآخرين كثيرين”.

تلقى إيفانز أكثر من 500 مليون إعادة بث نسخته لِـ”نيويورك ، نيويورك New York, New York ” على تيك توك. استخدم أكثر من 13000 مستخدم أغنيته.

Brian Evans' single, which he refused to allow to be released until eight years after its production by Grammy winning producer Narada Michael Walden, producer of Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, George Michael and more, debuts at #3. Evans is considering Las Vegas offers. "I don't know," he says.

“هذا يثبت أن النجاح لا يعتمد على عمرك. إن كل من يعرف بريان يعرف أنه كان يقوم بذلك منذ سنوات، وحقيقة أنه قرر السماح لنا أخيرا بتوزيع أغنيته الأصلية “أيام أ ترافلر I’m A Traveler ” لا تفاجئنا بنجاحها “، قال ستينجر.

توفيت والدة إيفانز بعد أسبوع من إكمال ألبومه بعد خضوعها لجراحة على مستوى الركبة. لم يُصدر إيفانز أبدا أيا من المواد التي سجلها مع والدن باستثناء أغنية “أت فينويي At Fenway ” التي تضم ويليام شاتنر وتجاوزت 10 ملايين مشاهدة على يوتيوب في مقطع فيديو موسيقي متزامن على يوتيوب.

يقول والدن، الذي أنتج الموسيقى التصويرية “دي باديغارد The Bodyguard ” الأكثر مبيعا على الإطلاق، لويتني هيوستن، جنبا إلى جنب مع المنتج الأسطوري ديفيد فوستر: “نحن ممتنون”.

 حساب إيفانز على تويتر: @ croon1 ، وموقعه الإلكتروني: www.brianevans.com

قال ستينجر: “براين هو المغني رقم 3 الأكثر تنزيلا في الموسيقى المعاصرة للبالغين عبر PlayMPE ، الرائد في توزيع الأغاني على محطات الراديو في جميع أنحاء العالم”.

كما أصدر إيفانز أغنية “بلو بايو Blue Bayou ” الأسبوع الماضي، وهي من إنتاج والدن أيضا.

“هناك 11 أغنية من هذا الألبوم التي لم يسمح لنا برايان بإصدارها. الآن يمكننا أخيرا، وصنفت أول أغنية في المرتبة الثالثة. لا أحد يفعل ما يفعله بشكل أفضل”.

The victory gave Madrid an insurmountable lead with four rounds to go. It was 17 points in front of Sevilla, which drew with Cádiz 1-1 on Friday, and 18 points ahead of Barcelona, which hosts Mallorca on Sunday. Madrid has nine more league titles than Barcelona.

Carlo Ancelotti became the first coach to lift trophies in the top five European leagues. The Italian manager won with AC Milan in Serie A, Chelsea in the English Premier League, Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.

HH Sheikh Abdullah and world leaders hail Expo 2020 Dubai as unifying event fostering innovation and a sustainable future

His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, echoing the sentiment of world leaders attending Expo 2020 Dubai, has lauded the event as a catalyst for positive change that brought together 192 countries on a global platform to work towards building a peaceful, prosperous, sustainable future for all.

Commenting on the vision driving the UAE’s convening of Expo 2020 Dubai, His Highness said: “As a meeting ground for global changemakers, Expo 2020 Dubai served to unite a community that shared a common vision for growth, development, and the power of partnership in transforming our world. We deeply appreciate the active participation of countries seeking to collaborate in overcoming joint challenges and achieving better outcomes for all through multilateral approaches.”

His Highness’s comments echoed those made by world leaders and high-level dignitaries throughout Expo 2020 Dubai, who hailed the event as an incredible platform for global collaboration – an achievement even more remarkable given the event took place during the global pandemic.

Expo 2020 Dubai successfully showcased the unique cultures, innovations and stories of participating countries as they celebrated their Expo 2020 Dubai National Days at the iconic Al Wasl Dome and across the Expo site. Heads of state and leading officials praised Expo 2020 Dubai, hailing it as an incredible platform for global collaboration.

International cooperation

Her Excellency Hon Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados, said: “Expo 2020 Dubai brings together the people of the world in the midst of a global pandemic, at a very difficult and uncertain time in human civilisation. The one way to come out of this period is by building bridges and respecting diversity in our world. This World Expo is the platform and a microcosm of what is possible when we come together and recognise that our common humanity binds us, there is much more that we have in common than separates us.”

About the gamut of opportunities offered by the World Expo for joint action towards a more prosperous future, His Excellency Dr Mokgweetsi Eric Keabetswe Masisi, President of the Republic of Botswana, said: “This Expo has really set the bar extremely high on how countries’ businesses and organisations should collaborate in their diversity, and exchange knowledge, as well as solutions to build a better world for all. Botswana has benefited immensely from the cultural experience, social and economic exchanges with other countries through cultural displays, music, arts, presentations and collaborations inspired by none other than the Expo 2020 Dubai theme.

His Excellency Timothy Harris, Prime Minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis, said: “Expo 2020 Dubai is a powerful catalyst for bringing people together, to explore and harness new boundaries of technologies for good, to showcase our varied yet similar cultural expressions, to give voice to our future ambitions and to exchange ideas – all of which is consistent with the theme, ‘Connecting Minds, Creating the Future’.

His Majesty King Letsie III, King of Lesotho, said: “Expo 2020 Dubai will succeed in its noble mission of ‘Connecting Minds’, and as a result of that achievement, an incubator will be created that will hatch sustainable solutions to our common problems – solutions that will hopefully create a more prosperous and peaceful future for us all.”

His Excellency General Hon David Hurley, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia, said: “Showcased here [at Expo 2020 Dubai] is the ingenuity, creativity and capacity for technological advancement, underpinned by an appreciation of history and culture. It reminds us that we are responsible for creating the future for generations to come … and it points to the considerable opportunities of the future and what is possible when we are open, connected and optimistic.”

Beacon of hope

Amina J Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General, United Nations, said: “At a time when there is a dark cloud, you have presented a real vision for what we can do to recover better, for how the world can look beyond the UAE – beyond your neighbourhood – into this global community. You’ve given hope and a sense of dignity to everyone that has participated in this Expo.”

Describing Expo 2020 Dubai as a ray of hope that broke through the darkness imposed by COVID-19, His Excellency Wavel Ramkalawan, President of the Republic of Seychelles, said: “[Expo 2020] is a beacon for global optimism, for responsible and sustainable world development, for nations standing together against adversity, for personal and collaborative creativity, for the unique beauty of human harmony and – most importantly – friendship, communication and recognition that – when it comes to determining a healthy future for planet Earth – we are all in this together, from the largest nation to the smallest.”

His Excellency Muhammad Lutfi, Minister of Trade for Indonesia, said: “Expo 2020 Dubai and all its successes represent courage, hope and optimism for all humanity. The COVID pandemic has disrupted all nations. Now is the time to recover together. Expo 2020 could not have come at a more opportune time. What we are seeing today is a demonstration of our ability to create things that we have never seen before.”

His Excellency Santiago Andres Cafiero, Minister of Foreign Affairs for Argentina, said: “My congratulations to the UAE on organising the first World Expo to be held in the Middle East, and thank you, in the words of Sheikh Nahayan, for believing once more in the harmony of cooperation to realise a shared dream. In a world split by COVID-19, this Expo has been a light at the end of the tunnel shining, like the ring His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, [Vice President and] Prime Minister [of the UAE] and Ruler of Dubai, found in the desert, which inspired the design of Al Wasl Plaza.”

His Excellency Macky Sall, President of Senegal, said: “Our world, plunged into a deep economic gloom, certainly needs this ray of light to bring back some colour and help rebuild hope for a better future. In this sense, the universal Expo is both a showcase for nations and a factor for peace and dialogue between cultures and civilisations. This is what Expo 2020 is all about.”

Hosting an exceptional World Expo during a pandemic

Acknowledging the UAE’s success in delivering Expo 2020 Dubai amid a pandemic that touched every corner of the world, His Excellency Emmanuel Macron, President of the French Republic, said: “I want to congratulate [the UAE] for this Expo, because at a time when we see COVID-19 and so many threats and issues, organising the Expo here and making it a success – because it’s already a success – is good for your country. It’s good for everybody.”

Federal Councillor Guy Parmelin, President of the Swiss Confederation, said: “Pulling off the organisation of such a major event … would be a major feat at any moment in time. But doing so in a period of uncertainty, such as the last 18 months, is an incredible accomplishment.”

UAE values and culture

His Majesty King Philippe Leopold Louis Marie, King of Belgium, said: “The UAE has proudly become a global centre at a crossroads of culture, while keeping its own unique culture. Belgium is proud of having been at your side, as a partner and friend, and looks forward to contributing to the realisation of the Emirati dream. Expo 2020 Dubai is one of the first major events since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. What you have achieved is truly impressive.”

His Excellency Moon Jae-in, President of the Republic of Korea, said: “Expo 2020 Dubai is turning into reality the hope for a sustainable future. The UAE’s endeavours that put into practice environmental integrity and sustainability will deeply inspire the world as it is poised to usher in a post-pandemic era. The first ever [World] Expo in the Middle East has been transformed into a festival, forward-looking into the future by the leaders and the people of the UAE.”
