Shanghai, Sep 22, 2011 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Organized by China Decision Makers Consultancy, the 3rd Annual China Smart Grid Forum was held from September 14th to 16th in Shanghai, China.

The second stage of China's Smart Grid plan, from 2011 to 2015, not only focus on accelerating UHV, urban and rural grids construction, but also establishing the basic framework for smart grid operation control and interaction, achieving the projected advancements in technology and equipment production, mass deployment. For example, in China 'smart grid', are estimated to be a nearly $100 billion opportunity over the next five years. With total power capacity set to reach 1,430 gigawatt by 2015 from 874 gigawatt at the start of 2010, China has to figure out how to bring trillions of kilowatt hours of power to more than a billion customers, sometimes over very long distances.
