China is expected to become the world's third largest
nuclear generating nation around 2017 pushed by its national target
against climate change, said US Energy Information Administration (EIA)
Monday July 20,2015
To fight against climate change, Chinese government set a goal to increase the share of non-fossil fuels in its primary energy consumption to 15 % by 2020, according to the China National Plan for Climate Change (2014-2020) released last year.
"To help achieve this target, China plans to increase nuclear capacity to 58 gigawatts (GW) and to have 30 GW of capacity under construction by 2020," said the EIA.
China is expected to surpass the Republic of Korea and Russia in nuclear generating capacity by the end of 2015, overtake Japan around 2017 and to be behind only after the United States and France
