Ninghai Overview
Ninghai is the sub-center city of southern Ningbo. Situated on the central coast of Zhejiang Province on the border of Ningbo and Taizhou adjacent to Shanghai and Hangzhou, it is located conveniently in the middle of the east coast of mainland China and the economically developed Yangtze River Delta. Mould, stationery, auto parts, lighting, hardware machinery and electronics industries are the six traditional flagship industries of Ninghai.
Ninghai also has six new emerging industries, namely new energy, new materials, numerical control equipment, harbor (home furnishing & construction materials), biopharmacology and travel & leisure products. In recent years, Ninghai had drawn out an industrial blueprint based on “six plus six” industries, with focus on the development of “2 Zones plus 8 parks”. (2 Zones refer to Zhejiang Ninghai Economic Development Zone and Ninghai Bay Recycling Economic Development Zone; 8 Parks refer to the manufacturing parks of stationery, mould, new energy, auto parts, new construction materials & home furnishing, numerical control equipment, electronics and biopharmacology). Currently the six new emerging industries have been developing rapidly, especially the new energy industry.
New Energy Industry
An example of the new energy industry is the single crystalline silicon solar project. Ninghai would guide the development of the photovoltaic industry, with the planning and development of a complete industry chain comprising “single crystalline silicon→ silicon chip → solar batteries & module →solar lamps”, with the hope to develop a solar product base in China. Now it is already planning to build an industrial park for photovoltaic industry in the Ninghai Economic Development Zone.
Electricity Supply
Ninghai is supplied with electricity by the East China Power Grid and has a complete transmission and distribution system with one 500KVA substation and two 220KVA substations. The electricity supply is abundant since the Guohua Power Plant, which has an installed capacity of 4 million KW, has been put into operation and can provide sufficient and reliable power supply with a daily output of 4,713,440 KWH.
Conclusion
The discussion was very fruitful. Both parties shared market information on the E&E industry, and discussed challenges, business opportunity and business trend/market conditions for further business development.
