Mecc Alte is growing its profile in China- read about why it's such an important market to us

This week’s GPower in Shanghai on 3^rd – 5^th May is now fully underway and it will see over 30,000 visitors and buyers from all around the world walk through the doors.

We are delighted to be exhibiting at GPower as these are exciting times to be doing business in China, particularly in the Power Sector. Here are some statistics as to why:

• In 2018 it is anticipated that China’s power consumption will rise 5.5 percent from the previous year.*
• A report by China's Electricity Council (CEC) also forecasted that China’s total installed power generation capacity would reach 1,900 GW by the end of 2018.*
• China will focus on installing 200 GW of power generation capacity, with 77 GW from clean energy sectors, by 2020.*

These are big figures and it’s largely being driven by an increasing demand for stand-by power equipment in commercial and residential, the burgeoning utilities, oil & gas, marine and mining sectors; in addition to China’s radical and confident power reforms for renewables.

For the alternator sector this will see more innovative alternator products which support China’s demand with robust alternators which produce the maximum power to size ratio.

At the show we will be unveiling our new C-Type series which reduces assembly and integration times for OEMs.

Compact and lighter, with efficient cooling and improved accessibility, the new C-Type range provides a viable and unprecedented alternator for China and other Asian markets as demand for power soars.

Our manufacturing facility in Jiangsu Haimen Economic Development Area, which opened in 2007; is perfectly poised and ready to support local demand as it offers full manufacture, winding and supply into local markets across China and Asia.

This allows us to confidently deliver a competitive supply advantage with state-of-the-art products at a competitive price point for the domestic market.

GPower will this week showcase several innovations, seminars and co-locating events focused on decentralised power and renewables. Our stand is 5-026 in Hall 5 and we look forward to welcoming you during the Show.
