SHANGHAI, Oct 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding
Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar" or the "Company"), a global leader in the
photovoltaic industry, today announced that it was appointed as one
of the six co-chairs for the Business 20 (B20) Energy, Climate
& Resource Efficiency Taskforce, under the leadership of the
German G20 Presidency. This is the
second consecutive year that JinkoSolar, the only Chinese
enterprise and solar PV Company, participated in the B20 process.
The selected Co-Chairs are leaders of well-known global enterprises
and G20 members, and are vital contributors to the taskforce.
It is also the first time the Energy, Climate & Resource
Efficiency (ECRE) Taskforce
accepted JinkoSolar's recommendation to include solar PV renewable
energy as a key topic of discussion at B20 in Germany next year.
"We are honored to participate as Co-Chair of
the B20's ECRE Taskforce. The taskforce supports G20's goals by
obtaining the appropriate financing, carbon market mechanism and
policy that is needed to support global investment flows. More
specifically, the world's infrastructure and clean energy
requirements," said Mr. Xiande Li,
Chairman of JinkoSolar, "This is the first time the B20 ECRE
Taskforce selected a solar PV company as a Co-Chair. This indicates
a common objective of G20 members to lead the world's economy
towards a more sustainable path. In order to alleviate the current
economic challenges, green energy infrastructure reform is the key.
Solar power is now undercutting coal fired electricity in lots of
regions; we need to focus on ways to seek investment to support the
huge demand for clean energy finance, and the transition to a
low-carbon society," he added.
When discussing the Chinese solar industry, Mr. Li stated
"China has the ability to manage
the transition from an export-led manufacturing economy to a
consumption-based, energy services economy, executing its strategy
with great technical and business model innovation. Chinese clean
energy companies such as JinkoSolar have grown rapidly in recent
years, playing a critical role in accelerating grid-parity and
delivering strong productive gains across more and more countries.
They are not only meeting consumer needs of today, they are
building scale for the future."
