Thermal Power Generating Units With a Capacity of Below 300MW per Generator to Be Restricted or Banned in China
DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c89708) has announced the
addition of China Thermal Power Generation Unit (Below 350MW) Market
Report to their offering.
According to several opinions regarding acceleration of shutting
down small thermal power generating units, China will shut down
gradually coal-fired (fuel-powered) generating units in the areas
covered by big power grid during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period
(2006-2010), which meet any of the following conditions: the
conventional thermal power units with a capacity of 50MW per
generator, the conventional thermal power units with a capacity of
below 100MW per generator that has been in service for 20 years,
various generating units whose designed life expire and all kinds of
generating units with a capacity of below 200MW per generator.
Since 2003, China has adopted the development strategy to develop
high parameter and large capacity generating units and to shut down
small thermal power generators. Since then, China mainly adopted
generating units with a capacity of above 300MW per generator, which
are of high parameters, high efficiency and good performance in peak
shaving, and built mine pit power plants to transmit electricity to
areas with power shortage, aiming at broadening the scope of
optimizing allocation of resources.
In the future, the introduction of generating units with a
capacity of 300MW (especially above 600MW) per generator will be
encouraged by government policies, while generating units with a
capacity of below 300MW per generator will be restricted or banned,
due to the differences of installed capacity.
This report is based on the authoritative statistics from the
National Development and Reform Commission, State Electricity
Regulatory Commission and the National Bureau of Statistics and the
detailed statistics from the local development and reform commissions
and local electricity regulators.
