China to Transfer Electricity to Thailand

The power departments of China and Thailand have formally signed an 
investment agreement on jointly developing Jinghong Hydropower Station in 
southwest China's Yunnan Province. Thailand will buy electricity from 
Yunnan which is rich in hydropower resources.

The news was disclosed by deputy General Manager of Yunnan Power Group Co., 
Yang Xiangze, at the working conference on "west-east electricity 
transmission" held recently in Guiyang of Guizhou Province. .

The Jinghong Hydropower Station, located in the suburb of Jinghong City in 
the southern part of Yunnan Province, and about 300 km from northern 
Thailand, is one of the planned eight step power stations on the middle and 
upper reaches of the Lancang River of Yunnan with an installed capacity of 
1.5 million kilowatts.

Yang said that according to the feasibility studies report approved by the 
State, the dynamic investment in the hydropower station is about 10 billion 
yuan. The Thai party will hold 70 percent share while the Chinese side will 
share the remaining 30 percent. It is initially planned that construction 
will begin in 2006. Beginning in 2013, Thailand will buy 1.5 million 
kilowatts from Yunnan each year.

He disclosed that in order to guarantee Thailand's demand for electricity, 
Yunnan will also start the construction of another power station with an 
installed capacity of 5.5 million kilowatts which will begin in 2014 to 
transmit another 1.5 million kilowatts electricity to Thailand annually. By 
then, the total amount of electricity purchased by Thailand will reach 3 
million kilowatts.

According to Yang Xiangze, Yunnan has an exploitable installed capacity of 
90 million kilowatts, 23 percent of the total of China. At present, the 
province's installed power generating capacity is 7 million kilowatts, 70 
percent of which come from hydropower.
