NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
http://www.reportlinker.com/p0191700/Renewable-Energy-in-China.html
Introduction
China's government is tasked with meeting rising demand for power while addressing the overlapping and growing challenges posed by energy import dependency, security of supply and environmental degradation. China's energy program is expected to generate levels of investment in excess of $1 trillion over the next decade. The Red Dragon is now on a path to becoming the Green Dragon.
Features and benefits
Analysis of installed capacities and generation output for the main sources of renewable energies across China, at a national level and by state.
A detailed identification of the key drivers and barriers shaping these markets, and the likely growth potential of each renewable technology.
An examination of new technology Introductions and innovations, and future areas of opportunity for manufacturers and power providers.
Highlights
Foreign firms are able to participate in China's energy market, but monopolistic transmission and regulated pricing dominate. Increased market competition, and a clearer and increasingly favorable policy landscape, will make for a favorable environment in which the renewable energy industry can continue to develop and prosper at an aggressive pace.
The vast and growing number and types of government and provincial financial incentives for renewable energy in China help explain growth levels in these markets. China's commitment to the development and deployment of renewable energy is being felt nationally. China is set to surpass some of its 2020 renewable energy targets before 2020.
Not all renewable energy technologies are equal or offer the same growth prospects in the US. Solar is likely to live in the shadow of wind and hydro power for several years to come, while biomass and geothermal make modest inroads into the wider Chinese energy market. The outlook for nascent wave and tidal energy markets will gradually improve.
Your key questions answered
Determine how different elements of Chinese legislation and wider market trends are influencing the development of the main renewable energy markets.
Assess how the renewable energy capacity mix will evolve, what the key opportunities will be and which provinces offer the greatest potential and why.
Understand how renewable energy strategies are likely to evolve and how and where your company should interact with China's renewable energy markets.
