Wuxi, China-based China Wind Systems plans to start production this month at its new manufacturing facility that is expected to more than quadruple its output of components for wind turbines.
The parts supplier is tapping into a problem constraining the wind market in China. Analysts predict a shortfall of about 5 gigawatts of gearboxes this year relative to the demand for turbines. During the past decade, turbine demand has increased about 46 percent a year.
Leo Wang, senior vice president of finance for China Wind, said the new facility will help China Wind break into the market for large rolled rings
