Wind turbine manufacturer gets financial backing

Envision Energy (Jiangsu) Co, a private wind power generation equipment manufacturer and distributor, is ramping up efforts to bring green energy projects to China's inland cities and to offer digitalized solutions to wind farm operations, with the support of China CITIC Bank Corp.

For safety, wind farm owners set higher technical requirements on turbines installed in inland areas that record much slower wind speeds, compared to those spinning in mountain areas.

Since the end of 2017, Envision Energy has overseen a pilot project, operating several 2-megawatt and 3-megawatt wind turbines in Jiangyin, Jiangsu province, where the average wind speed is only 5.92 meters per second at a height of 140 meters, according to data collected over the last 20 years.
