WindEnergy 2006 - New cooperation partners in Canada, Japan and India
The WindEnergy - International Trade Fair, to be held in Hamburg from 16 to 19 May 2006, cooperates with three further wind associations - the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA), the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA) and the Japanese Wind Power Association (JWPA) are now giving their support to the industry's premier event. "These cooperations in Asia and North America underline once more the importance of the WindEnergy as the international fair for the wind industry worldwide," says Dietmar Aulich, Managing Director of Hamburg Messe. "Alliance with these three associations, alongside our existing cooperation agreements in other countries and with the EWEA, means we have further key associations with us, underscoring the vital role of the WindEnergy for industry growth and internationalisation." The WindEnergy will feature all three of these growth markets, together with 22 further markets, in national presentations, where information will be provided by experts on the respective political, legal and economic conditions.
With these new cooperation partners, the WindEnergy will cover the wind energy growth markets with the strongest development. For example Canada, where newly installed power in 2005 was 54% up on the previous year. "2005 will be remembered as the start of Canada's wind energy boom as more than 3000 MW of wind energy projects are now contracted and slated for construction in Canada over the next few years", says Hornung. "In fact, federal and provincial governments both put in place policies in 2005 that could facilitate the installation of a minimum of 8000 MW of wind energy in Canada by 2015. This potential makes the WindEnergy 2006 in Hamburg the ideal partner for Canadians seeking to establish new business contacts and promote the exchange of expert know-how with regard to international wind energy investment and cooperation." The Canadian wind industry will have its own national pavilion in Hamburg.
Teruyuki Mori, representing the JWPA, agrees: "The JWPA, with about 110 members, is the largest association of industry companies in the Japanese wind industry. The reason why we are entering into this cooperation is the high quality of know-how transfer and networking possibilities we have at the WindEnergy in all aspects of this growing industry."
The IWTMA, which represents all the major turbine manufacturers in the Indian market, is the second wind organisation on the Indian sub-continent that is joining WindEnergy 2006 as a partner. Cooperation has already been agreed with the Indian Wind Energy Association (InWEA). "The WindEnergy 2006 provides an international forum for manufacturers and equipment suppliers, and for planners, finance institutes and experts from research and development," says Sarvesh Kumar, Chairman International Affairs of the IWTMA. "India's wind sector registered impressive growth and expansion during 2004-05. The aggregate installed capacity in March 2005 stood at 3595 MW, an increase of more than 1112 MW from the previous year. India occupies an enviable position as the wind leader in Asia. It is the fourth largest producer of wind power in the world and that is why this premier International fair is so important for us."
Alongside the new associations CanWEA, JWPA and IWTMA, the WindEnergy 2006 also has further support from leading associations in China (CREIA), the USA (AWEA), and the UK (BWEA). It also has an exclusive partnership with the EWEA, representing the 220 members from 40 countries and thus about 98% of the entire wind energy market. The WindEnergy also cooperates with the German Engineering Federation (VDMA) and the German Wind Energy Institute (DEWI). Together with these partners, the WindEnergy 2006 continues to build its international presence, covering the major export markets.
WindEnergy - International Trade Fair will be held from 16 to 19 May 2006 in the first three halls completed of the New Hamburg Fair. This is the leading international exhibition for the industry and is entirely dedicated to this growing sector. It gives turbine manufacturers and component suppliers, planners, finance institutes, measurement and certification agencies and experts from research and development the ideal forum for further expansion of this forward-looking market. The key subjects at WindEnergy 2006 are export, offshore technology, and financing.
