China to Control
Overcapacity in Some Industries
At the end of
September, China's ten governmental departments including the
National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of
Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the
Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Environmental
Protection, the People's Bank of China jointly suggested a
proposal of controlling overcapacity in some industries. Recently
the State Council of China approved this proposal. The involved
industries include iron and steel, cement, flat glass, coal
chemical, polysilicon, wind power equipment, electrolysis
aluminum and ship making.
2009/8/29 中国、新産業でも過剰能力を抑制
中国国務院は8月26日、風力発電装置などの新産業分野での過剰能力について懸念を表し、過剰能力や不必要なプロジェクトなどの問題について行政指導を進めることを決めた。
過剰設備は鉄鋼やセメント産業で以前から問題となっているが、最近は風力発電やポリシリコンのような新産業でも不必要なプロジェクトが出てきた。
政府の4兆元の景気刺激策で新エネルギーや環境産業が重点投資分野に指定され、全国各地で投資が増えた。
特に、鉄鋼、セメント、板ガラス、石炭化学、ポリシリコン、風力発電分野で指導を強化する。

China to redress production overcapacity in six sectors 是正
The National
Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) will mainly redress
production overcapacity in six sectors, said Chen Bin, director
of the Department of Industry of the NDRC, Thursday.
The six sectors include steel, cement, plate glass,
coal-chemical industry, polycrystalline silicon and windpower
equipment.
The NDRC also warns of obvious production overcapacity in sectors
like electrolytic
aluminum, ship manufacturing and soybean oil extraction, said Chen during an on-line
interview on www.gov.cn., the website of China's central
government.
He said China would fight serious overcapacity in sectors like
steel industry and offer guidance for new-born industries like
windpower equipment to avoid low level repetitive construction.
China has achieved preliminary progresses in fighting the global
economic downturn, but the foundation for economic recovery is
not stable yet and overcapacity might lead to bankruptcy,
unemployment and bad bank loans if it was not checked in time, he
said.

NDRC: No overcapacity of
wind power
China's top energy official has said that renewable energy needs
continuous development in the country. This announcement comes
from a recent State Council statement warning that overcapacity
in the wind-power sector is specifically related to
equipment manufacturing, but not the overall industry.
Zhang Guobao, vice chairman of the National Development and
Reform Commission, as well as director of the Energy Bureau, says
"no one has stated that China has too much wind power and
needs less." Instead, the government's concern is that the Chinese wind power
equipment sector is fragmented between too many small companies, putting it at a disadvantage
against major international firms.
Zhang Guobao said, "There are now 70 to 80 wind
power equipment manufacturers that have already entered, or
will enter, the sector. Internationally, however, there are just
six to seven well-known wind power equipment makers. Chinese
companies are so fragmented. How can they compete with these
international giants?"
Zhang Guobao says wind power is new in China. Stimulated by
government policies, swarms of investors, and a record number of
installations, have entered the sector. Foreign enterprises,
joint ventures, state firms, and private companies are all
enthusiastic about investing in wind power equipment. They
realize that clean energy has become increasingly important in
China's overall power structure, and wind is the cheapest source.
Wind power is set to overtake nuclear energy as a key source of
electricity in China over the next 10 years. Wind power capacity
is expected to hit 100 gigawatts by 2020. The country will unveil
a new energy plan by the end of the year, raising its targets for
wind, solar, and nuclear output.
