Chinese companies energy activities in emerging Asia
The People’s Republic of China (“China”) has become one of the major providers of
capital, construction services, and equipment to the energy sectors of developing
and emerging economies. It has contributed to the power systems as well as the oil
and gas sectors in the countries of these regions. Chinese energy and energy infrastructure
companies, largely state-owned, are active across the energy sector in most fuels
and through diverse modalities.
This report analyses the construction services, equipment, and investments provided
by Chinese energy and energy infrastructure companies in the power, coal, oil, and
gas sectors in non-OECD emerging Asian countries. It uses an integrated approach to
provide a fact-based quantitative overview across the energy sector that complements
existing research efforts. It identifies the main Chinese stakeholders, highlights
major trends, and analyses strategies and drivers.
Findings reveal that, while the construction services, equipment and investments provided
by Chinese companies are significant, they supply only part of emerging Asian economies’
energy sector needs; their role remains relatively modest compared to those of other
companies.
