TRADE MISSION NOTES:

Exporting renewable energy solutions to Asia

Soon two staff members from 3TIER (Ed Mahlum, SVP of Product Development and I) will be off to China to take part in the trade mission.  It looks to be a valuable opportunity - both to broaden our Chinese contacts and to establish firmer ties with innovators in the clean energy space. For example, I recently learned that the U.S. Pacific Northwest National Labs (PNNL) has an advanced relationship with several partners in China, and it should be a good opportunity to learn from their success.

There are many challenges to getting the reliable weather data in Asia, and especially in China. 3TIER is uniquely capable of filling in those gaps with cost-effective, scientific solutions that ensure that effective projects are built and operated efficiently.  3TIER has over 10 years of experience working with the largest renewable energy developers and operators all over the world helping them identify and build better and more profitable renewable energy projects. We look forward to bringing that expertise to what is now the most rapidly growing renewable energy market in the world– Asia.
