China Electricity Profile: What implications will the dramatic shift in China‟s electricity cocktail have for the United States and rest of the world?China’s Electricity Profile at a GlanceAccording to the International EnergyAgency‟s World Energy Outlook 2011 by2015 China will overtake the U.S., andbecome the leader in total electricitygeneration capacity. What‟s more, by2035 China will consume nearly 70%more energy than the United States...From phasing out incandescent light bulbs within five yearsto optimizing the countrys clean energy mix, what‟sextraordinary about China‟s electricity infrastructure is thespeed and scale of its expansion. The solar, wind, coal,hydro, and related renewable technology and generationis galloping at a champions pace, surpassing the U.S. andrest of the world. For example, China has now become thenew world leader in wind power, having overtaken theU.S., with 40.2 GW (just three years earlier China‟s 2020wind deployment goal was set at 30GW, currently it‟s amighty 200GW) while attracting the highest new financialinvestments for two years in a row with $49 billion USD inrenewables, i.e. about a third of total global investments(since August 2010 China continues to be the mostattractive country for renewable investment, followed byU.S., Germany, India and Italy).To meet this electricity cocktail, the Chinese governmenthas outlined major plans and dedicated billions toresearch, design and build a nationwide Smart Grid.Zpryme projects the total value of China‟s Smart Grid2 www.zpryme.com | www.smartgridresearch.org Zpryme Smart Grid Insights | December 2011Copyright © 2011 Zpryme Research & Consulting, LLC All rights reserved.

The $20 $17.1 U.S. is also expected to demand more energy, but is starting with a smaller base of coal-fired generation $10 (dissimilar to China, many of the older U.S. coal-fired units $0 are expected to be driven out of the energy pool in the 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 two decades).4Driving the Chinese Smart Grid initiative are technologies What’s Next for China?in spaces such as solar.

With Chinese governmentcooperation, foreign companies that are quick topenetrate this market will find that 2012 is the year theirbrand become synonymous with the Smart Grid.Key China Electricity Profile Findings  From 2010 to 2015, world total electricity generation capacity is projected to increase by 284 GW, from 4,623 GW to 4,907 GW, respectively. During this time period, China will account for 63% (179 GW) of the world‟s increase in generation capacity. From 2010 to 2035, China is projected to account for 39% of the world‟s increase in generation capacity.  By 2015, China will overtake the U.S., and become the leader in total electricity generation capacity.  By 2035, China will account for a quarter of the world‟s electricity generation capacity.  By 2035, China will account for nearly half (49%) of the world‟s coal fired generation capacity at 1,043 GW.  By 2015, China will lead the world in the hydro and other renewable electricity generation, accounting for 21% (248 GW) of world capacity. This figure is projected to reach 24% (581 GW) by 2035.  China‟s wind generation capacity will grow by 1200% from 2010 to 2035, reaching 533 GW by 2035.
