Research and Markets: An Essential Investment Report of China's Electric Power Industry, 2000-2008: Focusing on the 56 Listed Companies in China's Power Industry

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a3e8a4/investment_report)
has announced the addition of the "Investment Report of China's
Electric Power Industry, 2000-2008" report to their offering.

By the end of 2007, China's total installed capacity amounted to
713 million kilowatts. China's power demand is expected to continue a
steady growth momentum in 2008, up 13% year on year. With the shutdown
of small thermal power generating units and the slowdown of investment
in power generation, the high growth rate of China's newly increased
installation capacity in 2008 will decelerate, and the rate is
expected to reach 11.8% year on year.

In the long term China's power industry, boosted by accelerated
process of industrialization and urbanization, will have an average
annual growth rate of 6.6% to 7.0% in the next ten years. This
indicates that the power industry will require a great deal of
investment. Currently, investment in hydropower, wind power and
nuclear power is increasing. However, investment in coal-fired power
generation still ranks first.

The structure of China's power industry is expected to remain
unchanged for a long time. At present, China's hydropower output
amounts to 13.88 percent of the national total, nuclear power output
accounts for 1.94 percent and wind power output amounts to 0.26
percent, while coal-fired power output amounts to at least 78% of the
national total. China's coal-fired power generation will be in a stage
of stable development until at least 2020, and China's installed
capacity of coal-fired power generating units will remain at more than
70 percent.

Following a comparison of investment between the above-mentioned
types of power generation, it is clear that their asset-liability
ratios are basically the same in terms of financial indicators. But in
terms of cost rate and ratio of profit to gross output value,
hydropower and nuclear power are higher than the average profit level
of the entire power industry. Furthermore, nuclear power's ratio of
profit to gross output value will remain at over 30%: much higher than
the 9% of coal-fired power and around 10% of the entire power
industry.

In terms of the investment amount of China's listed power
companies, the top three regions are Guangdong province, Inner
Mongolia Autonomous Region and Shanghai, whose investment ratios are
15.33%, 13.84% and 10.53% respectively, followed by Sichuan and
Beijing.

China's listed power companies invest mostly in thermal power,
hydropower and thermoelectricity, with their investments reaching
CNY216.38 billion, CNY97.73 billion and CNY48.58 billion respectively.
Investment in gas exploitation and coal mining follow as the next
prevalent investment occurrences.

This report makes an in-depth analysis of all investment projects
financed by the 56 listed companies in China's power industry from
2000 to 2008. The report also makes a summary of the investment trends
in China's power industry as well as the investment features and
trends of the listed companies.
