China Thermal Power Sector Report 2017/2018

Alongside developing renewable energy projects in line with plans to reduce the share of coal power in the country’s generation mix, the government is working to reform the thermal power sector and make coal-fuelled plants more efficient and more environmentally friendly. China is the world’s biggest producer of thermal power. It is also a major investor in thermal power projects overseas. With the ban on new coal-fired power plants in place until 2018, new players can enter the market either by acquiring existing facilities or through mergers. Many companies have been involved in this process in recent years. The opportunities for existing players willing to increase their operating capacities by acquiring units in new regions depend largely on the regulatory policy of local governments and on those investors’ ability to modernise the facilities, as well as to negotiate access to networks with local governments and sign favourable electricity sales contracts.
