The Market Opportunity

A Global Growth Trend - According to the Global Wind Energy Council, global installed wind
energy capacity reached 120 GW and the global market topped 27 GW at year-end 2008. Further,
investment in new power generation equipment topped $50 billion during 2008. China’s installed
capacity doubled for the fourth consecutive year and surpassed 12 GW in 2008. While China ranked
fourth in the world in installed capacity at the end of 2008, behind the United States (25 GW),
Germany (24 GW), and Spain (17 GW), China ranked second globally for installed new capacity in
2008 with 6 GW, behind the United States with 8 GW.

Recently, the Chinese government announced its new goal to increase China's projected installed
wind capacity to 150 GW by 2020, representing potential $200 billion market for wind power
components and projects in China. Leveraging on the industry growth momentum, China Wind
Systems has recently signed a $14 million contract to supply wind tower flanges, demonstrating the
compelling long-term opportunities available in the wind power industry.

Competitive Landscape - The barriers to entry in the wind energy industry are very high relative to
the capital investment required for property, plants and equipment. In addition, the industry requires
significant investments in personnel. China Wind Systems, through its business of manufacturing
industrial equipment, now leverages its technical expertise to manufacture wind components. There
are only a few competitors manufacturing large forged rings measuring 6.3 meters in diameter with a
cross section of 700 millimeters. Presently, the majority of Chinese rolled-ring producers rely on less
effective technology than forging, such as the steam hammer and friction press, resulting in pollution
and energy waste.
