Report summary
China’s power and renewables markets have changed quite a lot since we published our H2 2017 long-term outlook: Stronger power demand growth, seasonal gas shortages, carbon trading market and the overhaul of the feed-in tariff structure for renewables. But one thing remains unchanged – China is serious about cleaning up the environment and environmental policies are reshaping its energy supply options. This grand energy transition offers more opportunities for clean fuels such as gas and renewables, while coal is set to face more downward pressure. In this long-term outlook, we extend our base case view from 2035 to 2040. This enables us to discuss the impact of electric vehicles and also how renewables integrated with energy storage could potentially challenge and limit growth for gas.
