Electricity costs in China ($/kWh) Costs are in US$, converted from Chinese Yuan at $1 = 8.2 Yuan. Sources: Wind cost data: 1990,2000: reported wholesale prices. 2010: projection based on 5% per year decline. Coal cost data: 1990,2000: reported wholesale prices. 2010: estimates based on market projections. Gas cost data: 1990, estimate (minimal gas used for electricity). 2000: estimate based on relative relationship to cost of coal. 2010: estimate based on market projections including recent gas acquisitions. Note: Government has indicated wholesale prices for natural gas may be subsidized. gas coal wind $0.04-$0.07 $0.03-$0.04 $0.01-0.02 $0.03-$0.05 $0.04-$0.07 $0.08-$0.10 $0.07-$0.10 $0.06-$0.08 $0.04-0.07  2010 2000 1990

Notas del editor

  1. Wind power is the fastest growing energy source in the world (over 20% annual growth for past decade) China still a small share of world installations, but scaling up rapidly Target for 30 GW by 2020
  2. China has abundant coal resources as we know Currently coal fuels about ¾ of electricity demand Wind only about 1 percent China’s reliance on coal is constrained, not just for environmental reasons, but also because of mismatch between resource and demand. Left of line, right of line Blue are provinces developing wind (may be slightly out of date) but shows that although good wind resources in N and W, also in E where demand is growing very quickly Can talk more about pricing later if people are interested, but price has come down with competitive bidding in last couple years, not quite competitive with coal but definitely comparable with natural gas, some hydro, nuclear (being used for much of eastern coastal new capacity)
  3. Most of the leading global manufacturers also have a large share of the Chinese market. This is 2003 (when I began my research). What has changed in China: NEG Micon merged with Vestas, GE bigger (1/5), Gamesa also bigger worldwide incl China.
