subject: Aarkstore Enterprise Research Report On China's Electric Equipment Industry [print this page] By the end of November 2010, the installed capacity of China's power generation equipment has reached 902.57 million kilowatts, increasing by 10.80% YOY, in which the installed capacity of the hydropower was 179.05 million kilowatts, increasing by 12.80% YOY, that of the thermal power was 686.13 million kilowatts, increasing by 8.60% YOY, that of the nuclear power was 10.82 million kilowatts, increasing by 19.20% YOY, and that of the wind power was 26.09 million kilowatts, increasing by 81.30% YOY.
In January-November 2010, the total investment in China's electric power source construction was CNY 307.70 billion, with CNY 67.80 billion in the hydropower, CNY 111.10 billion in the thermal power, CNY 54.10 billion in the nuclear power and CNY 73 billion in the wind power. In January-November 2010, the newly added production capacity of China's electric power source was 67.30 million kilowatts, with 13.44 million kilowatts for the hydropower, 45.11 million kilowatts for the thermal power, 1.73 million kilowatts for the nuclear power, and 6.93 million kilowatts for the wind power. The investment in the power grid infrastructure construction was CNY 259.40 billion, with 220 KV and above added in the power grid construction. The transformer capacity was 206.95 million kilovolts, and the line length was 33,629 km (29,479 km of AC lines and 4,150 km of DC lines).
In 2010-2011, China's electric power equipment industry is one of the industries with certain growth rate under the international financial crisis. Most of China's domestic electric power equipment enterprises are introducing foreign technology. The major technical parameters and properties of domestic products are basically the same or similar with foreign products, while the products' quality and operational reliability lag behind those in developed countries. Meanwhile, domestic enterprises have not grasped the manufacturing techniques of some key electric power equipment.
