Investment Report of China Electric Power Industry, 2000-2008 Abstract Bytheendof2007,China'stotalinstalledcapacityhasamountedto713millionkilowatt.China'spowerdemandis expectedtocontinuetokeepthemomentumofasteadygrowthin2008,up13%yearonyear.Withtheshutdown ofsmallthermalpowergeneratingunitsandtheslowdownininvestmentinpowergeneration,thehighgrowthrate ofChina'snewlyincreasedinstalledcapacityin2008willdecelerate,andtherateisexpectedtoreach11.8%year onyear. Fromthelongrun,China'spowerindustry,boostedbyacceleratedprocessofindustrializationandurbanizationat home,willhaveanaverageannualgrowthrateof6.6%to7.0%in thenexttenyears,indicatingpowerindustrywill requireagreatdealofinvestment.
