Thread: China Technology Development Group Corp. - CTDC

HONG KONG - November 17, 2009 - China Technology Development Group Corporation (Nasdaq: CTDC; "CTDC" or "the Company"), a growing integrated clean energy group based in China to provide solar energy products and solutions, today announced that China Technology Solar Power Holdings Limited ("CTSP") entered into cooperation agreement with United Nations Industrial Development Organization International Solar Energy Center for Technology Promotion and Transfer ("ISEC-UNIDO") to co-establish the International Photovoltaic Application Laboratory (the "PV Lab") on November 14, 2009 in Lanzhou, Gansu Province.

Pursuant to the cooperation agreement, the PV Lab will be mainly engaged in the testing and certification of PV products such as solar modules and inverters, etc. Another major research focus will be on how to deploy PV products to build up on-grid and off-grid solar power systems at high altitudes areas. The Delingha 100MW grid-connected Solar Power Project developed by CTSP will become an important experimental base for the PV lab to provide data for scientific research of large-scale on-grid solar farms. In the meantime, the PV Lab will also undertake other domestic and overseas research projects on new energy applications. CTDC, CTSP and ISEC-UNIDO are all hoping the PV Lab to become a world-class laboratory and a National Quality Certification Center of Chinese grid-connected solar modules and application systems in the next few years.

A number of VIPs from United Nations Industrial Development Organization and government officials attended the signing ceremony, including Dr. Kandeh K. Yumkella, UNIDO Director-General, Ms. Monica Oliphant, President of International Solar Energy Society, Mr. Shi Dinghuan, Director General of Chinese Renewable Energy Association, and Mr. Yao Shenhong, Official of Ministry of Commerce of the PRC. Director of ISEC-UNIDO, Mr. Xi Wenhua will serve as Head of the PV Lab. Mr. Li Shun, Chief Engineer of CTSP, will be the Deputy Head to co-chair the operation of the PV Lab.

"We are very pleased with the establishment of the PV Lab between CTSP and ISEC-UNIDO, which will obviously enable us to take the leading role in Chinese PV market and is a major milestone for us. With the strong technical support from ISEC-UNIDO, this alignment will definitely strengthen our competitive advantages in PV market and keep us leading in the emerging and fast growing grid-connected solar power market." commented by Mr. Alan Li, Chairman and CEO of the Company.

UNIDO Director-General, Dr. Kandeh K. Yumkella also extended warm congratulations, "We are delighted to see the great efforts and achievement in solar energy application and deployment in China recently. UNIDO will deliver full support to the solar applications and development in China as China’s PV industry is experiencing an unexpected rapid growth."

November 18, 2009 - China Technology Development Group Corporation (Nasdaq: CTDC; "CTDC" or "the Company"), a growing integrated clean energy group based in China to provide solar energy products and solutions, today announced that Mr. Alan Li, CEO and Chairman of the Company had a meeting with a delegation led by Dr. Kandeh K. Yumkella, Director-General of UNIDO and Ms. Monica Oliphant, President of International Solar Energy Society (“ISES”) in Lanzhou, capital city of Gansu province.

Dr. Yumkella made this special trip to Lanzhou to attend the grand opening ceremony of International Solar Energy Center for Technology Promotion and Transfer of United Nations Industrial Development Organization (“ISEC-UNIDO”) and signing ceremony of the International Photovoltaic Application Laboratory (the “PV Lab”) jointly established by China Technology Solar Power Holdings Limited ("CTSP ") and ISEC-UNIDO.

On behalf of the Company and CTSP, Mr. Alan Li extended warm welcome to Dr. Yumkella and the fellow members of the delegation and expressed gratitude to UNIDO and ISES’s long-term support to solar energy development in China, “We are really hoping to leverage their strengths and resources to enable the PV Lab to become a world-class laboratory. As a result, we could make contributions to energy saving and emission reduction to reflect our support to the upcoming Copenhagen Climate Change Summit.”

“UNIDO is very supportive of great efforts on renewable energy made by Chinese government and will continue to fully back up the solar energy development and applications in China. Particularly, we hope to align with China to jointly transfer the technology of renewable energy to other developing countries in the future.” commented by Dr. Yumkella.

Ms. Monica Oliphant, President of ISES, also expressed her sincere support to the future development of ISEC-UNIDO. She thinks the achievement in renewable energy in China is a model for other developing countries. Also she calls upon all international organizations to facilitate the world’s only ISEC to improve the overall level of application technology of renewable energy such as solar energy in the developing countries. It will ultimately contribute to the human’s effort of environmental protection, clean energy development and sustainable development.

November 18, 2009 - China Technology Development Group Corporation (Nasdaq: CTDC; "CTDC" or "the Company"), a growing integrated clean energy group based in China to provide solar energy products and solutions, today announced that the Company’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Alan Li had a meeting with Mr. Shi Dinghuan, Counselor of State Council of China and Director General of Chinese Renewable Energy Association ("CREA"), and Mr. Hao Yuan, Vice Governor of Gansu Provincial Government in Lanzhou on November 14, 2009.

China Technology Solar Power Holdings Limited ("CTSP") , whose 51% equity interest is to be acquired by the Company, entered into cooperation agreement with United Nations Industrial Development Organization International Solar Energy Center for Technology Promotion and Transfer ("ISEC-UNIDO") to co-establish the International Photovoltaic Application Laboratory (the "PV Lab") on the same day in Lanzhou.

Mr. Shi expressed warm congratulations to the establishment of the PV lab. He is hoping CTDC to become a leader in China’s solar power sector by making use of the resources advantages in platform of Hong Kong to enable the Delingha Solar Project and PV Lab to be the national demonstration solar project. According to his estimation, renewable energy will be one of the major energy sources and play a significant role in the entire energy field in the next couple of decades. "We have committed that non-fossil energy would account for 15% of total energy sources by 2020, which means great potential and opportunities for research and development of the renewable energy." added by Mr. Shi.

Mr. Hao said Gansu provincial government will offer a strong support to CTDC for the development of solar power plants in Gansu. "Gansu has an unparalleled advantage to develop and apply clean energy such as solar and wind. Gansu is also actively trying to take the lead in China’s solar and wind energy sector. There is a clear statement in a provincial development strategies recently announced by the provincial government that Gansu strives to achieve a total installed capacity of solar power plants for over 10GW by 2020. We do hope the provincial and local governments to keep working closely with other related parties to facilitate the application of solar energy. " commented by Mr. Hao Yuan.

Mr. Alan Li was very grateful of their congratulations and sincere hopes. He said, "We would cooperate closely with ISEC-UNIDO to make the PV Lab a world-class solar energy laboratory and enable the Delingha Solar Project to be a national demonstration solar power base in China."
