Electric Wind Power, a wind power subsidiary of Shanghai Electric, has finalised a deal to provide advanced wind turbines to joint venture partners Hai Anh Wind Power Company, IPC Construction Joint Stock Company (IPC E&C), and Asia Industrial Technology Joint Stock Company (ACIT) for Hai Anh Wind Farm Project.
