Technology Overview

China's 12th Five Year Plan Focuses on Generating Clean Energy

According to China's 12th Five Year Plan (2011-2015), the country's new national development strategy is to emphasize energy efficiency, clean and green technologies, and sustainable development. To implement these plans, the federal government is offering substantial funding and support through the New Development Reform Commission (NDRC), Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), and National Energy Administration (NEA). Owing to the priority accorded to clean technologies, wind, hydro, biomass and smart grid energies are emerging as popular alternatives to traditional energy resources. Wind farms have mushroomed over the last two years and foreign stakeholders are making active efforts to enter the market.

Although foreign investments in clean and green technologies from both venture capital and private equity are on the rise, they are facing some difficulty in entering the market. This is compelling them to sign joint ventures with local companies. "Partnering at the earlier stages with experienced engineering/design partners that are aware of the market's dynamics will enable the foreign investor to introduce relevant technologies/products and arrive at suitable cost estimates," says the analyst of this research.

The solar sector continues to attract a large number of overseas investors, as China has been a major participant globally, with its established markets and policies. The Government aims to utilize solar PV to power remote regions and for industrial purposes. It will be particularly keen to develop grid-connected PV systems so they can bolster the renewable energy power infrastructure. Solar PV can provide hundreds of millions of kilowatts of power, and can become an important resource, in line with the government’s strategic energy replacement plan.
