HELP FOR RENEWABLE COMPANIES GOING GLOBAL

摘要

Then Energy Photovoltaics (EPV), a Lawrenceville, N.J.-based solar energy panel manufacturer, was looking to expand its export sales, it found a partner in the U.S. Commerce Department's Commercial Service, including renewable energy trade specialists from the Department's Energy Team. Working to bring together potential buyers from India who were part of a renewable energy reverse trade mission to the Eastern United States, trade specialists from the Commercial Service's New Jersey network contacted Jeff Szczepan-ski, EPVs Director of Business Development, and encouraged him to participate in meetings with the delegation. Although Szczepanski was new to the India market, he was briefed by Commercial Service counseling on the latest renewable energy market incentives offered by India, such as increased investment incentives and tax cuts, and on the high priority the local Indian government places on solar, wind and other renewable energy projects. Trade specialists also briefed the Indian delegation on what U.S. firms such as EPV offer the Indian market.
