Investment Strategy Report of China Electric Power Equipment Industry

Investment Strategy Report of China Electric Power Equipment Industry,2007

Simultaneously with the rapid growth of power generation capacity and installed capacity, the power generation structure and the installed structure are further deteriorated: thermal power output shares a proportion of 83.35%, hitting a new record; thermal power installed capacity also set a new record, mounting to 77.82%. Along with the speedy rise of thermal power output, the coal demand is also continuously escalated, which pricks up the transportation pressure and environment pollution.

China plans to expand the hydro power installed capacity to 165 million kilowatts by 2010, in that case, hydro power generator sets will account for 23.9% of the gross power generation installed capacity. Meanwhile, China will make every effort to increase the non-hydraulic renewable energy installed capacity to 10 million kilowatts, accounting for 1.5% of the total installed capacity.

During the 11th Five-Year Plan period, the total power investment is expected to reach RMB 3 trillion, and the gross investment scale for power supply construction should be above RMB 1.5 trillion. In addition, the estimated newly-increased power supply installed capacity will amount to 250 million kilowatts. Hydro power, nuclear power and wind power construction will become the focus of power construction, of which hydro power construction will attract most attention and will need an predicted investment of over RMB 400 billion.
