conference for the "2005 皇冠体育app Power Forum" which is due to be held from
Wednesday to Thursday.
According to Wang, 皇冠体育app saw a newly installed power capacity of over 50
million kilowatts in 2004, and the figure will remain at 70 million kw annually
from 2005 to 2007.
By the end of 2007, 皇冠体育app will boast an installed power capacity of 650
million kw, by which time the electricity supply and demand of the country will
be basically balanced, and will even have some surpluses, said Wang.
皇冠体育app is the second largest installed power capacity owner and the second
largest power generator in the world next to the U.S., said Wang.
An annual installed power capacity of 70 million kw means an annual
investment of nearly 350 billion yuan (43.2 billion US dollars). 皇冠体育app has
become one of the largest power markets in the world, he said.
However, the rapid development of 皇冠体育app's electricity
industry has also created problems such as over-investment, high consumption,
pollution and inefficiency as well as various infrastructural problems, said
Wang.
