CHINA'S SOLAR ENERGY UP 50%

CHINA'S SOLAR ENERGY UP 50%

SHANGHAIDAILY - German solar panel component maker Heraeus said yesterday its sales surged 50 percent annually in China's solar power sector over the first nine months of the year.

The firm, however, didn't unveil the sales figure but it said China contributed 65 percent to its global sales in solar power business this year. The company's solar power sales has jumped since the start of the year boosted by China's surging solar farm installations, said Andreas Liebheit, president of Heraeus's global photovoltaic business.

Heraeus is the world's largest silver paste maker with a 40 percent share of the global market. Silver paste is a component used in solar panels to conduct electricity.

China installed 38.28 gigawatts of solar power from January to August, up 49.5 percent from the end of last year, according to the China Electricity Council.

The rapid growth in solar power installation from last year was because "solar component costs are declining much faster," said Alex Liu, analyst for energy and public utilities at UBS.

The cost to generate one kilowatt-hour of solar power fell to 0.6 yuan by the end of last year from 1.5 yuan five years ago.

Alongside the cost drop, China's solar power industry will also benefit from the government's call for more distributed power grids, Liebheit said. This "suggests the nation should be the long-term key market for global producers," he said.

RENEWABLE ENERGY UP

China accounts for the lion’s share of the upsurge. But Middle East and north African countries are scheduled to have installed 14GW in solar plants by the end of 2018 — a seven-fold increase from 2015. Central and South America are also expected to reach 14GW, nearly five times more than in 2015, while India is set to hit 28GW, a jump of nearly six times.

WORLD ENERGY CONSUMPTION UP TO 28%

The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that world energy consumption will grow by 28% between 2015 and 2040. Most of this growth is expected to come from countries that are not in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and especially in countries where demand is driven by strong economic growth, particularly in Asia. Non-OECD Asia (which includes China and India) accounts for more than 60% of the world's total increase in energy consumption from 2015 through 2040.

IMF: SOUTHEAST ASIA'S TRANSFORMATION

IMF - When we think about Asia’s economic future, we know that this future is being built on strong foundations—on the richness and diversity of its cultures, on the incredible energy and ingenuity of the people who have changed the world by transforming their own economies. China and India have been driving the greatest poverty reduction in human history by creating the world’s largest middle classes. In a single generation, Vietnam has moved from being one of the world’s poorest nations to being a middle-income country.

CHINA'S RENEWABLE UP

CHINA’S installed solar power capacity surged over the first half year amid shrinking costs and government policies. Over the first six months, 23.6 gigawatts of solar power were installed, 34.2 percent higher from a year ago, UBS said yesterday, adding that it was “far more than expected as most domestic analysts predicted at the beginning of the year that only 20-25 gigawatts would be added for the whole year.”
