Mid-Long Term Development Prospects of Coal-Fired Power in China

Coal-fired power will still be the main power sources at present and in the mid-long term in China. The sustainable development of coal-fired power is crucial to guarantee reliable power supplies. From the aspects of installed capacity, management and investments, the development status quo of coal-fired power was analyzed briefly. Based on the power demand forecast, and the renewable energy and nuclear power development plan, the future installed capacity requirement of coal-fired power in mid-long term period was predicted. In addition, the related factors, such as power coal demand and supply situation, operation prospects, development layouts, clean and efficient development, etc., were analysized to gave a comprehensive future situation of coal-fired power development in China. In the end, some vital problems were summaried that need to be solved to achieve sustainable development of coal-fired power.
