Electricity use to double

THE China Electricity Council yesterday projected electricity consumption will almost double from the 2010 level to 8.2 trillion kilowatt-hours by 2020.

In a report on the electricity industry's development in the 12th Five-Year Plan period through 2015, the council said electricity consumption this year will reach 4.17 trillion kwh and increase to 6.27 trillion kwh by 2015.

China's installed power generating capacity will grow from this year's 950 million kilowatts to 1.89 billion kw by 2020, the report said, adding that about 36.3 percent of installed capacity will come from non-fossil fuels by 2020.
