Sustainable energy consultancy K2 Management has announced an office in Beijing, the Chinese capital, to support renewables projects in the country.
The office, based in the business area of Beijing, has a team already working on projects and forms part of the Asia Pacific arm of the company, which has offices in Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan and Australia.
K2 Management country director James Wu said: “We think the time is right for us now to be present in China, especially as offshore wind is now really taking off.
“There is a growing demand for independent, experienced support, so we decided to put down roots in China. This means we are better placed to support our local as well as international clients who have an interest in the market.”
“Having a mix of strong international experts in renewable energy and local experienced employees means we are now extremely reactive and more competitive.”
Active in Asia since 2010, K2 Management has been working in China on several projects for local and international clients.
K2 Management co-founder Per Melgaard said: “With strong support from the government through the implementation of a renewables strategy, and a demand from both developers and investors seeking expertise in developing projects, we are looking forward to supporting the country in achieving its energy goals and supporting the growth of this promising market.”
