Wind and PV Power Markets: The Change in China’s Energy Structure
May 13, 2011 No CommentsAccording to Chinese media, the PV and wind power markets have the opportunity to further develop nuclear power safety. Almost 40 GW of proposed nuclear power construction has stopped and is still undergoing government review.
South Daily reported earlier this year in March, “China’s energy structure will change in the future. Thermal power and hydropower will continue to be the main power supply sources. As a result, wind power and solar power will rapidly develop. Currently, Germany, Britain and France are considering supporting PV power, wind power and other new energy.”
World Energy Financial Network states, “Europe will still be the main solar power market in 2011. Germany occupied over 50%. Germany stopped building nuclear plants and may enlarge its PV market instead. By the year 2015, the United States may become the world’s biggest solar power market. But in Japan, the government will not be able to support the PV industry because of the significant damage to its economy.”
