China's Power Sector Reforms: Where to Next? by Organization for Economic Cooperation [PDF] (Size: 3.72 MB)
Description Book Description: Book by Organization for Economic Cooperation The amazing rise of China is reflected in it now being the world's second largest electricity user, behind only the US. The authors of this OECD report study how China is expecting to handle continued power growth. Several aspects are analysed. One being the reduction in coal pollution. For the near future, coal will be used to supply most of the electricity. Unfortunately, the coal burning plants are one of the biggest airborne polluters in China. With very bad effects on the health of people. Thus the government is incorporating environmental costs into the pricing structure of coal supplies. This should act as an incentive for power plants to do more filtering of pollutants. To most Chinese, coal pollution is perhaps the most visible and most negative aspect of their electricity supply. Other topics in the book include a more transparent pricing scheme for transmission of electricity in a national grid. The intent here is to enable a rational and efficient investment in upgrading the grid. A cost plus approach has been suggested by the government, which amounts to an effective setting of a rate of return on investments in the grid. Despite the many real problems described by the book, the reader should keep in mind that these are all problems of success. Other less developed nations might wish for such problems.
