China Approves New Power Plants
The Chinese government recently approved the construction of 13 large-scale power plants with a total investment of 51.2 billion yuan (US$6.2 billion), according to the State Development and Reform Commission (SDRC).

The power plants, which will begin construction in the next two to three years, will have a total electricity generating capacity of 11.88 million kilowatts.

Most of the planned power plants are located in electricity- strained areas, including northern, central, eastern, southern and southwestern parts of China.

According to the SDRC, upon completion, the power plants will help ease the demand for electricity supply in the next five years.

Since the beginning of the year, the Chinese government has approved the construction of more than 30 large-scale power plants, and works on 17 of them have been started.

The SDRC predicts that added electricity generating capacity in China will exceed 18.49 million kilowatts this year.
