Local news portal ptnet.cn sat down with Chen Zhengzhi, board chairman of the Fujian Transys environmental Industrial Park Co. Ltd for an exclusive interview in which the Taiwan entrepreneur explained why he is optimistic about the future of renewable energy in Pingtan.

Q: Why do you decide to invest in Pingtan?

A: I’ve been watching Pingtan for quite a long time, and I am familiar with its development on the Internet. Last year Pingtan was approved as part of the Fujian Pilot Free Trade Zone with a number of preferential policies. That was the time that I decided to make the first move.

Pingtan aims to become an international tourist destination, which requires good environmental conditions. Renewable energy fits in right in this area as it provides solution to urban pollution and promotes resource reuse. The project will benefit enterprises, the government and the public. So we think it is a perfect timing.
