Iraeta Attends the 2026 Wind Energy Equipment Key Enterprise Leaders' Conference

The 2026 Wind Energy Equipment Key Enterprise Leaders' Conference was held in Hefei, Anhui Province on April 2. Niu Yugang, Chairman of Iraeta Energy Equipment Co., Ltd., Zhang Leilei, Vice President and General Manager of the Sales Center, and Liang Zhen, Deputy General Manager of the Sales Center, were invited to attend the conference.

With the theme "Reconstruction & Leap Forward – Exploring New Value in the Wind Power Industry", leaders from key enterprises across China’s wind power industrial chain gathered to discuss core topics, including the development of the wind energy industry during the 15th Five-Year Plan period and the pathways for the coordinated and integrated development of wind power equipment manufacturing. They jointly explored in-depth exchanges and collaborative innovation among upstream and downstream enterprises, aiming to build a more complete, efficient, and resilient industrial ecosystem for China’s wind power sector.

During the exchange session, Niu Yugang, Chairman of Iraeta, noted that as wind turbines continue to move toward larger scales and deep offshore operations, key components are being held to higher standards in terms of performance stability, product reliability, and mass delivery capacity. Against this backdrop, Iraeta will continue to advance technological innovation and contribute more to underpinning the high-quality development of the industry by strengthening industrial chain coordination.

Drawing on the current industry landscape, Zhang Leilei, Vice President and General Manager of Iraeta’s Sales Center, stated that as the industry enters a new phase of value-driven development, enterprises must not only enhance their product capabilities but also strengthen their market responsiveness and service coordination. Focusing on the development trends of offshore wind power and large-megawatt turbines, Iraeta will further deepen cooperation with complete machine manufacturers and upstream and downstream enterprises. Through front-end coordination and resource integration, it will help enhance and break through the global competitiveness of China’s wind power industry.

At the conference, numerous experts systematically shared insights and exchanged views on key issues facing the wind power industry, difficulties in the coordinated development of equipment manufacturing, and the integrated application of wind power in multiple scenarios. Based on the development situation of energy and power and industrial practices, their sharing provided multi-dimensional perspectives for the industry’s development.

As an important link in the wind power equipment industrial chain, Iraeta has firmly pursued counter-cyclical investment in recent years and continuously strengthened its high-end manufacturing capabilities. Currently, the company is fully advancing its strategic layout for the 15th Five-Year Plan period. "Industrial giants" such as the world’s largest 22,000-ton free forging press and 22-meter ring rolling mill are unleashing strong productivity, providing extreme manufacturing support for the development of larger and more reliable clean energy equipment, including nuclear power, hydropower, and wind power.
