    Seems China wants to be known in recent history as being one of the fastest implementer of the latest and greatest technology. A-Power Energy Generation Systems, Ltd has completed the construction of the first phase of its wind turbine production facility in Shenyang, China. It is said to be the largest wind turbine production facility in China. The first phase is a 310,000 square foot production facility with an annual capacity to produce 300 2.5MW wind turbines and 420 750kW wind turbines. They have already laid the foundation for phase 2 of the wind turbine production facility, which, when completed, will increase A-Power’s wind turbine production capacity by another 30%. It is estimated that construction on phase 2 will commence in Q4 2009 and will be completed in about 4 months at a cost of approximately US$10 million. After phase 2 is completed, A-Power will have the capacity to produce 400 2.5MW wind turbines and 550 750kW wind turbines each year.


    Production of the wind turbines is expected to begin later this quarter and we expect it will become a significant revenue contributor beginning in 2009.
