Electric Power and Energy in China

The acute energy problems facing China today are characterizedby their own histories and realities. Some have come about becauseof China's energy endowment and stage of development, while othershave been created by a combination of domestic and global factors.Some are the results of an accumulation of longstandingcontradictions, while others are new challenges posed by the neworder. There are no "miracle cures" to solve these problemsinstantly. What is needed is a tireless enquiry, with goals,planning and procedures, guided by a clear energy strategy. WithChina's increasing dependence on foreign energy sources, and theglobal energy situation and greenhouse gas issue exerting anincreasingly prohibiting effect on China's energy development,energy diplomacy has become an important component of Chinesediplomatic affairs.Based on a "broad energy outlook", this book studies andanalyzes China's energy issues and energy strategies from theperspective of electric power.* Discusses a variety of issues, including energy transportationand allocation, end-user consumption, markets, early warning andemergency, technical innovation* As a leading player in the power and energy area, China'sstrategies attracts global attention* Proposes the innovative idea of "Macro EnergyPerspective"* As a key player in China's energy industrial circle, theauthor's perspective can help global audiences to understandChina's energy strategies betterElectric Power and Energy in China is ideal forgovernment energy policy makers, engineers, scientists andenterprise managers to understand China's strategy inelectric power and energy. It is also a good reference for energyeconomics researchers, consultants and university students.
