On November 8th, at the Hitachi Energy booth of the 6th China International Import Expo, Shanghai Electric and Hitachi Energy jointly announced the establishment of a joint venture company - Shanghai Electric Hitachi Energy Power Technology Co., Ltd., and held an unveiling ceremony. At the same time, the joint venture company signed a cooperation agreement with Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group. Liu Ping, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Shanghai Electric Group, and Zhang Jinquan, Global Executive Vice President and President of Greater China of Hitachi Energy, unveiled and delivered speeches for the new company.

The joint venture established this time will focus on the offshore wind power business, utilizing the advantages of the new generation of offshore wind power flexible DC transmission technology to provide China's offshore wind power transmission with a system solution with "intensive sea area, lightweight offshore platform design, and lower cost operation and maintenance costs", and improve the full life cycle investment income of offshore wind power projects.

Liu Ping stated in his speech that as leading energy equipment companies, Shanghai Electric and Hitachi Energy have always been committed to promoting the development and upgrading of clean energy systems. Offshore wind power is an important way to transform into green energy. The joint venture company's focus on flexible and direct transmission technology is an important guarantee for offshore wind power transmission. It can tailor system solutions for offshore wind power projects that reduce sea area, lightweight offshore platforms, and lower cost operation and maintenance costs, helping customers achieve greater investment returns.

Zhang Jinquan stated that under the purpose of "building a clean energy system and sharing a low-carbon and beautiful future", Hitachi Energy is committed to working together with all partners to innovate and continuously promote the development of the global energy system towards a cleaner, more flexible, and safer direction. The new joint venture will fully combine the technological and market advantages of both parties to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, and contribute to the high-quality development of China's offshore wind power transmission.

China has abundant offshore wind resources, with over 18000 kilometers of coastline and a usable sea area of 3 million square kilometers, and is close to energy load centers in the east and south. The development and utilization of offshore wind power has become one of the important directions for promoting the development of clean energy. With the gradual development of offshore wind power towards deep sea areas, the transmission distance and capacity of offshore wind power will continue to increase. Flexible DC transmission technology, due to its advantages of large transmission capacity, low energy consumption, and low reactive power demand, will provide important technical support for future offshore wind power transmission.

As the pioneer and leader of global high-voltage direct current transmission technology, Hitachi Energy has nearly 70 years of industry experience, delivering more than half of the world's high-voltage direct current projects and more than 70% of flexible direct current (light high-voltage direct current) projects. It has world leading technology, reliable system solutions, and long-term engineering practice experience in the field of offshore wind power, especially in the field of large capacity and long-distance offshore wind power transmission. Shanghai Electric is a leading global provider of industrial grade green intelligent system solutions, with advantages in multiple categories of equipment manufacturing and new energy fields. Adhering to the concept of "open collaboration, win-win cooperation", it has partnered with more than 70 world-class enterprises to empower global innovation and green sustainable development.

Shanghai Electric and Hitachi Energy have previously established a joint venture in the transformer field and achieved outstanding results in the dry type transformer field. Both parties will take the establishment of this joint venture as a new starting point, promote the efficient development and utilization of offshore wind power resources through complementary advantages, and contribute to China's construction of a new type of power system with new energy as the main body and accelerate the implementation of the "dual carbon" goal.
