Shi Zhengrong: Development of photovoltaic industry depends on government support

On September 13-15, the 2010 Annual Meeting of the New Champions of the World Economic Forum (Summer Davos) was held in Tianjin. The current "Summer Davos Forum" will adopt four major topics to explore sustainable growth. Dongfang Wealth Network provided full coverage of the forum. During this period, Shi Zhengrong, chairman and president of Wuxi Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. delivered a speech on “Promoting sustainable growth”. He said that more and more governments around the world are aware of the green promotion. Economic development is very important. At present, the government provides more and more subsidies for the development of the industry. The development of the photovoltaic industry depends mainly on whether the government recognizes and provides support.

The following is the content of his speech:

Quotes are dangerous! Retailers should leave as soon as possible? Which stocks are worth buying in full? Certain stocks are likely to rise by 50%! There has been a big change in institutional funding. We are the photovoltaic battery industry. At present, the industry is still a subsidized industry, which means that the government provides subsidies, including subsidies on electricity prices, in order to make our industry profitable.

From this perspective, more and more governments around the world are aware that it is important to promote the development of a green economy, and we also know that in the past, people have discussed climate change issues in large quantities. For example, at the Copenhagen conference, people would say that at the Copenhagen conference, this issue It has not been resolved. There may be other issues, including environmental issues, but from our perspective, the government now provides more and more subsidies for the development of solar energy. The development of our industry depends on whether the government can recognize and recognize our industry. It is a new economic growth industry. In this case, it means that we have reached a consensus on a green economy. How to achieve real growth and how to obtain real incentives. Now we are moving in the direction of the government. This is why even in the financial industry During this period, our industry was only a one-and-a-half quarter economic slowdown and it soon recovered. And now the situation of supply exceeds demand quickly.

The second point is how multinational corporations or transnational corporations are. That is to say, what transnational corporations have done in this field. In my opinion, many multinational corporations are paying close attention to or watching the development of new energy sources, such as solar energy. I think they did this for two reasons. The first one felt that this was a new type of investment that would drive future business development. So they started investing in solar power plants or wind power plants.

Second, they have also begun to move toward this direction for these renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, and all major semiconductor companies like LG, Samsung, and TCMC. Therefore, this also means that renewable energy, solar energy and green economy have no doubt become the focus of attention of many multinational companies.

Third, as our company, what have we done? We mainly provide solar photovoltaic cells. Just now I mentioned that our goal is to provide solutions for renewable energy, but at the same time we also realize that we actually do three other things: the first one we spent A great deal of energy is devoted to educating the government and the public. The purpose is to tell them to promote a green lifestyle is very important and urgent, because we also recognize from personal perspectives such as the great improvement in the lives of Chinese people. But at the same time, we also saw that the phenomenon of waste has become more and more serious. A good way of life does not mean that waste occurs. Therefore, I think that China must change the way it lives. At the same time, it really needs to change its own lifestyle and transform into a green life.

At the same time, it really needs to change its own lifestyle and transform into a green life. 30 or 20 years ago, that type of lifestyle was actually very low-carbon, and I also continued to say that in China we have a history of 5,000 years of civilization. Our ancient ancestors have lived since 4800. The way is sustainable, so we must change our current lifestyle.

We need to change our behavior. Many companies may only pay attention to profitability. Even for the research and development of their core products, they are also concerned about profitability. They may be less concerned about the environment and emit these problems. Therefore, we have a new term for cleaner production. The so-called cleaner production is to reduce emissions, to recycle, and to use it again. The so-called reduction is to minimize the application of chemicals, energy and other types of raw materials in the design stage. Even when we produce pollution, we can recycle it and use it again. This is a positive direction. Why? Because on the one hand we have to protect the environment and reduce the use of resources. On the other hand, it can also bring profits to the company. This is not contradictory.

Finally, as a company, we should also think in a sustainable way. We should have more accurate and comprehensive solutions, because if we only have some temporary thinking and want to find some expedient measures, then There is still no way to solve the problem in the future, so I think we should now find a comprehensive way to solve the problem for a long time. As an entrepreneur, I have always upheld the idea or what I learned since I became an entrepreneur a decade ago. As a company, I always have to solve social problems, a national problem, a future problem, and a human problem. .
