Description (excerpt):
This Foreign Policy Centre report draws together key findings from other major studies on the power and energy situation in China today and forecasts for the future. The report poses a key question not often asked outside the country – how important is the domestic regulatory environment in China to those forecasts? Accenture’s experience in Europe suggests that this question is of vital importance both to China and the wider world. Effective regulation is one of the most important tools for harmonizing energy consumption and building stable economic development. Regulation helps countries arrive at the optimum structure for the energy sector, addresses fuel mix issues, provides incentives for capital investment and establishes realistic pricing.
