“China is entering a new phase in its development, with the emphasis in energy policy now firmly on electricity, natural gas and cleaner, high-efficiency and digital technologies and China’s choices will play a huge role in determining global trends, and could spark a faster clean energy transition.”
Massive opportunity
China is the world’s largest market for electricity infrastructure development and smart grid technologies. China is expected to account for over 24 percent of the global smart grid market at around $96 billion by 2020.
This energy transition that is being driven by libaralisation, digitalisation and ambitious goals to create a sustainable energy future for China. Understandably this creates many challenges and opportunities for both Chinese and International businesses.
China is expected to increase its power transmission lines from 1.15 million circuit kilometers (Ckm) in 2014 to over 1.59 million Ckm by end-2020.
The most growth is expected to be seen once the country’s Ultra High Voltage plans are executed. During 2022-2025, the market size is expected to grow the most and exceed $60bn in 2025.
SGCC and CSG are the two state-owned companies that operate and maintain six regional grids and are responsible for the transmission and distribution infrastructure in China.
China also has commitments to massively expand its use of smart meters. Through 2015, tenders for 425.8 million smart meters have been contracted.
According to Navigant, with upwards of 469 million smart meters at the end of 3Q 2017,
China continues to lead the market, accounting for 68.7% of tracked global installations.
According to GTM, by 2020 China is expected to account for over 24 percent of the global smart grid market at around $96 billion
China’s state-owned electric utility State Grid, with revenue of $315bn, is by far the world’s biggest power company.
The unique Zhangbei high-voltage direct current (HVDC) grid in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area of China will enable the integration of remote wind, solar and hydro energy in a transmission ring that ensures optimization of power flow.
Beijing’s ‘Made in China 2025’ blueprint states that China wants to become a global leader in the AI field by 2030.
