With victory in site for the Coalition for American Solar Manufacturers (CASM) following the US Department of Commerce’s preliminary determination against Chinese manufacturers, the American wind industry jumped on the band wagon last December and filed a complaint against its Chinese counterparts with the DoC.

On Wednesday, the DoC made its preliminary determination on countervailing duties. It was decided that respondents Titan Wind Energy and CS Wind China received countervailing subsidies from the Chinese government at rates of 26% and 13.74%, respectively. The agency also ruled that the duty against imports of all other Chinese utility-scale wind towers is 19.87%.

The DoC is expected to make a preliminary determination on its anti-dumping investigation against wind towers from China and Vietnam on July 26.

“This is an important step in remedying the harm caused by unfairly traded wind tower exports,” said Alan Price of Wiley Rein, lead counsel for the group as well as CASM, told Renewable Energy World. “We look forward to further relief when antidumping duties are announced in about two months.”
