China is a new market of a power-saving.
Growing fast and markets changes driving on the foreign investment and increased the high-tech that is in order to help china when they protect the environment to satisfy their energy need. Energy-saving investment has a good future in the industry department, because many enterprises use the equipments or use the old equipments. The new buildings and equipments are also need the energy-saving technology. Doing business in china will has a great obstacle but if a company has a long-term development strategy that the obstacles can be solve. If the companies are interesting in these technologies, they can make a survey of these investment opportunities. There are many means, such as, use doing business in china to build a large number of organizations, service agencies and some major events.
Market pressures, electric power shortages, the shortage of funds and the deterioration of the environment give a lot of businesses for the foreign companies so that they will have chances on the energy-saving to share the Chinese market.
In addition, some of are low efficiency, electricity production does not keep pace with the economy development. Usually electric power shortages reduced productivity and will let the life inconveniences. The problem is so widespread that there are many newspapers will send the plan of the power outage information like weather forecast. The apartment of electric power plants from 1995 to the end of this century increase at least 200gw to 300gw of installed capacity that means increase 24gw every year. Of course, Chinese has the ability to build the power station or funds which they can not to complete a huge expansion. This explains why the Chinese government wants to attract foreign funds to investment the electric power.
Foreign technology and investment play an important role in Chinese power saving. Since 1978, the reform and opening-up policy, china has set up 240,000 overseas-funded enterprises. Direct foreign investment in fixed has beyond 10% of national total output. Overseas-funded enterprises are more than one-third of china¡¯s total foreign trade now. In 1992, United States of America in china power and electric power investment has 774 millions dollars. The opportunity, as a result of economic political power effect, that let many places needs the power-saving. Because of companies operational difficult and they allowed to bankruptcy, the survivors willing to let high-tech development. Such as, industrial processed control, Condensing steam valve, efficient motors, boilers and furnaces. To improve industrial equipment and processes, China's industrial get a great chance for the foreign energy-saving investments. China¡¯s industrial energy depletion is always more than two-thirds of energy now. China industrial yield has growth clearly. But the national control many heavy industry areas, but it is a major energy users. For a research of State-owned enterprises, if china¡¯s present outdated equipment and processes instead of the most advanced technology of the world at once, that Energy efficiency can be to a new level. China has technical potential to saving the energy about 40-50%. For a research of the Earth environment most of industrial energy improvement can be use and in most situation the return on investment are good. The statement of power-saving does not include village enterprises, which use inefficient and highly polluting second-hand equipment that is form small and inefficient power stations provide. For example, a 6MW power stations investment cost of about 1500-2500 million, because of they use the exhaust gas, they no gas fares and they can generate electricity 36GWH every years. If the prices are 0.6 Yuan / KWH, the energy value of production will more than 200 millions that can let the factories in less than two years return on investment. |
