The electric power sector is the industry that is one of the highest energy producers, highest energy consumers and highest carbon emitters in China. So this is where the energy revolution has to start. The transformation of the grid is a national infrastructure project, creating a ‘strong and smart’ grid as well as complementary projects such as the high-speed rail programme, where China is now the world leader in energy-efficient intercity transport. China’s efforts to move to the technological frontier are clear, as can be demonstrated through analysis of patents, standards and public expenditure on the modernizing electric power grid. Efforts to improve energy efficiency, such as in thermal power stations, are also an important part of the process.
