Electric Power and Energy in China (ePub)

The acute energy problems facing China today are characterized
by their own histories and realities. Some have come about because
of China's energy endowment and stage of development, while others
have been created by a combination of domestic and global factors.
Some are the results of an accumulation of longstanding
contradictions, while others are new challenges posed by the new
order. There are no "miracle cures" to solve these problems
instantly. What is needed is a tireless enquiry, with goals,
planning and procedures, guided by a clear energy strategy. With
China's increasing dependence on foreign energy sources, and the
global energy situation and greenhouse gas issue exerting an
increasingly prohibiting effect on China's energy development,
energy diplomacy has become an important component of Chinese
diplomatic affairs.

Based on a "broad energy outlook", this book studies and
analyzes China's energy issues and energy strategies from the
perspective of electric power.

* Discusses a variety of issues, including energy transportation
and allocation, end-user consumption, markets, early warning and
emergency, technical innovation

* As a leading player in the power and energy area, China's
strategies attracts global attention

* Proposes the innovative idea of "Macro Energy
Perspective"

* As a key player in China's energy industrial circle, the
author's perspective can help global audiences to understand
China's energy strategies better

Electric Power and Energy in China is ideal for
government energy policy makers, engineers, scientists and
enterprise managers to understand China's strategy in
electric power and energy. It is also a good reference for energy
economics researchers, consultants and university students.
