There are many stories behind China's power sector: blurred institutional boundaries, steps towards reform, and solutions with "Chinese characteristics".

A concise business-focused introduction to China’s electricity sector.  

TLG is proud to announce the publication, by Palgrave Macmillan, of its first book, China's Electricity Sector.

Our expert-based Mainland China advisory service brings a global perspective.

Contributing to policy analysis in China takes more than just data and knowledge.

Among emerging trends and disruptions, electricity storage could bring the most profound challenges and opportunities for policymakers and sector alike.  

China's mid-winter gas shortage is challenging its environmental commitments, but the root problem remains weak price signals.

Massive electricity oversupply and slowing rates of growth have led to persistent renewable energy curtailment in China. 

Financial Capital Maintenance is a key foundation stone for regulatory discipline, but challenges also remain around transparency and flexibility.

We have been helping clients engage in the Philippine electricity and gas sectors since 2007, giving us a unique depth of experience and understanding.

China's Ultra-High Voltage transmission grid has expanded rapidly, but systemic over-supply of power is limiting future growth potential.

Electricity data can help show how energy is being used in China: important information as policy reform and renewable energy curtailment continue.

An Electricity Derivatives Market is overdue for the Philippines, but success will benefit from understanding local factors.

Successful reduction of a carbon footprint requires innovation in both policy and financial instruments that takes account of local characteristics.

Despite the success of renewables, continued R&D into new technologies along with innovative policy instruments remain crucial to longer-term success.

Transparent, independent regulation can incentivise improvements; as the region's markets evolve, so too will regulation.

Climate change governance is changing but policy can still be inconsistent; business needs to be flexible and understand the value of analysis.

In Making it Happen we show how better economics can balance decarbonisation and electricity prices by Wasting Less Money on Decarbonization.

Coal in China isn't going away; what is important is the context and efficiency of its use, and the control of emissions.

Even as power emissions are reducing, China's air pollution and grid curtailment remain a problem; might recent UHV projects help?
