Xinhua News Agency, Molkom, Sweden, February 29 - Two wind turbines manufactured by China's Huarui Wind Power Company began operations on February 29 in Molkom, a small town in western Sweden. This marks the potential for Chinese wind turbine manufacturers to secure a place in the European market. http://www.yuanzhui-posuiji.com/ These two wind turbines each have a rated power of 3 megawatts, a rotor diameter of 113 meters, and a total height of 150 meters. They were purchased by CRC Wind Power Company, headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden's second largest city, for 84 million Swedish kronor (approximately $12.85 million), for the "Tehuhei Den" wind power project in Molkom Town. It is expected that the annual electricity generation of the two units will total 15,000 megawatt-hours, meeting the electricity needs of more than 3,000 households in Sweden for a year. Klas Buhler, President of CRC Wind Power Company, said that Huarui Wind Power Company is one of the world's leading wind turbine manufacturers, and its green power products are "effective and reliable, and should be the choice of Swedish wind power project developers." Zhang Weihua, Consul General of China in Gothenburg, said in a speech at the inauguration ceremony of the power generating units that countries around the world are currently focusing their attention on renewable energy sources such as wind power. The "Tehuhei Den" wind power project is not only a new achievement in Sino-Swedish economic and trade cooperation, but it also indicates that there is a broad prospect for cooperation between the two countries in the field of clean energy such as wind power. Li Lucheng, Senior Vice President of Huarui Company, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that the "Tehuhei Den" project has a demonstrative effect. If the quality and technology of Huarui wind power equipment can be accepted by local users and no maladaptation occurs in grid connection, then Chinese wind power equipment will have a very promising future in entering the European market. The two generating units of the "Tehuhei Den" project were both manufactured in China and transported by sea to Amsterdam, Netherlands, reloaded onto ships, and then transported to Kristina Port, a lakeside city in Sweden, and finally delivered to Molkom Town by truck.
