China State Energy and Infrastructure Projects Private Investment Initiative

planned

China has issued a landmark directive encouraging private investment in major state-led energy and infrastructure projects, potentially allowing private investors to hold stakes of 10% or higher. The projects include railways infrastructure, nuclear power, hydropower, inter-provincial and inter-regional transmission lines, oil and gas pipelines, LNG import and storage facilities, and water supply projects. The government will conduct feasibility studies to assess revenue potential and returns on investment, and private capital participation is encouraged and supported with state approval required.
