Description (excerpt):
China has financed electric power plants around the world for several decades and its involvement in the global power sector is of growing importance in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and continued attention to the social, environmental and economic impacts of China’s overseas economic activity. This policy brief tracks findings from the 2022 update of the China’s Global Power (CGP) Database. The CGP Database tracks power plants outside of China financed through Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) and loans from China’s two policy banks, the China Development Bank and the Export-Import Bank of China.
