China Holdings to invest big money into hydro in the coming years

China Holdings is working with its energy subsidiary China Power to invest heavily into hydro power markets. Reports are that investments could lead to a capacity of up to 1 GW being created. The group which has a diversified portfolio of investments is planning for the coming four years and looking to make investments for between 150 MW and 1000 MW (1 GW). The group would look both at home and abroad to make these investments and attempt to acquire as well as work using joint ventures to meet goals.

The group quickly pointed out one of the main advantages of power, being operational costs which are are between ¼ and 1/3 of coal or nuclear sources. Espically at a time when energy needs are ever increasing and accelerating hydro would meet scale needs and also allow for a relatively low carbon impact. The group did not rule out carbon trading benefits which might come as a result.

Furthermore the China Energy Research Institute noted in it’s 2006 report that in 2005 115 GW were operational in China including the Three Gorges Dam. By 2010 this figure should increase to 180 GW with a goal of 300 GW by 2020.
