The "Belt and Road" Green Energy Project Development Report (Shaanxi Practice), published by Xinhua News Agency China Economic Information Service

Xi’an, September 14, 2024 — On September 14, 2024, alongside the 18th Yulin International Coal and High-End Energy Chemical Industry Expo Green Finance and Energy Development Exchange Event in Yulin, Shaanxi, the event was marked by the release of the “Belt and Road” Green Energy Project Development Report (Shaanxi Practice), published by Xinhua News Agency China Economic Information Service. This comprehensive report provides an in-depth analysis of the development status and trends of “Belt and Road” green energy projects, aiming to assist Chinese companies and financial institutions in identifying project opportunities, mitigating risks, and enhancing the quality of participation in the Belt and Road Initiative.

Key Insights from the Report

  • Project Funding Operations: The report highlights five primary forms of Chinese company involvement in “Belt and Road” green energy projects: Engineering General Contracting (EPC), cross-border mergers and acquisitions, greenfield investment, Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), and Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). It notes a shift from EPC and acquisitions towards more involved investment and financing models such as greenfield investments, BOT, and PPPs, reflecting a growing emphasis on deeper local project engagement.
  • Financial Participation: Chinese financial institutions remain the principal financiers of these projects, though foreign banks are increasingly participating through syndicated loans organized by Chinese institutions. The report recommends that Chinese companies engage with local banks in project host countries to expand funding options and better assess project risks and opportunities. It also emphasizes the importance of insurance protection for projects.
  • Country and Industry Analysis: According to Xinhua Silk Road Global Project Business Opportunity and Risk Analysis System, China has collaborated on green energy projects with 151 countries, with Vietnam, Pakistan, and Laos being key partners due to their strong renewable energy resources. Hydropower and solar photovoltaic projects are the most prominent, making up significant portions of Chinese overseas green energy initiatives.
  • Typical Cases: The report features exemplary projects from Shaanxi Province, particularly in Yulin, known for its role in the Energy Revolution Innovation Demonstration Zone. It highlights innovative practices in solar energy, wind power integration, and distributed energy systems. The case studies illustrate how enterprises and financial institutions are advancing green finance and supporting the global green development agenda under the Belt and Road Initiative.

Wei Wei, Deputy General Manager of Xinhua Silk Road Division, emphasized that the report leverages the advanced capabilities of Xinhua Silk Road’s global project business opportunity and risk analysis system. This system combines big data, artificial intelligence, and professional analysis to provide robust, objective insights into project opportunities and risks.
