Nuclear power plants just coming online like clockwork from China.
According to the 15th Five Year Plan they want to achieve 110GW in nuclear by 2030, up from around 66GW now. It’s a hugely ambitious buildout. If they achieve it, it means that China would be connecting more reactors to the grid from now to 2030 than all the rest of the world combined.
EVEN SO I think nuclear in China is still sandbagged. They haven’t quite regained their pre-Fukushima ambitions to build inland reactors for example.
Unit 2 of the Taipingling nuclear power project in south China's Guangdong Province completed its initial fuel loading on Sunday. Using "Hualong One," a domestically developed third-generation nuclear power technology, the unit has transitioned to the nuclear commissioning phase.
The Taipingling nuclear power project is designed with six Hualong One units, which can generate over 55 billion kWh of electricity a year, equivalent of cutting 50.82 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.
