Meize Energy Update
Jade Road Investments Limited, the London quoted pan-Asian
diversified investment vehicle focused on providing shareholders
with attractive uncorrelated, risk-adjusted long-term returns, is
pleased to share that one of its portfolio companies, Meize Energy
Holding Limited, was recently featured in a news story on
ChannelNewsAsia ("CNA"), a leading English language news agency
based in Singapore. The Managing Partner of Harmony Capital, Suresh
Withana, was also interviewed during this segment.
Meize Energy designs and manufactures wind turbine blades and
has three factories in China, located in Inner Mongolia, Ningxia
Province, and Jiangsu Province.
The Jiangsu facility is one of the three manufacturing bases for
Meize Energy. It is the newest, having manufactured blades for the
first time in September 2020, and the largest in terms of
production capability. It produces 24 sets of blades each month and
is looking to double its production by the middle of the year.
Jade Road owns a 7.2% stake in Meize Energy.
The publication of the news story coincides with the Leaders'
Summit on Climate, a conference hosted by US President Joe Biden
and attended by 40 other world leaders, including the presidents of
China and Russia, which aims to galvanise efforts by major
economies to tackle the climate crisis.
CNA reports that China generated the largest-ever wind power
capacity last year, nearly tripling 2019 levels. The country has
also vowed to increase the share of energy generated by non-fossil
fuels to around 20% by 2025, up from its 15% goal last year. In
September 2020, President Xi Jinping announced that China aims to
peak carbon emissions by 2030 and to achieve carbon neutrality by
2060.
Meize Energy is set to benefit from this continued push for
renewable energy in China, as explained by the General Manager of
the Company's Jiangsu facilities: "China's overall carbon emission
reduction drive presents a big market. Furthermore, onshore wind
energy has reached a relatively stable state, but in the long run,
offshore wind has explosive potential."
John Croft, Executive Chairman of Jade Road, commented: "Jade
Road is proud to support the growth of Meize Energy, as it takes
part in the global effort to mobilise private and public sector
finances to drive the net-zero transition and to support China's
roadmap to carbon neutrality by 2060."
