Energy consumption in China has been increasing fast, pollutant emission from thermal power generation is getting more serious. To improve the situation, the ¡§11th Five-Year Plan¡¨ sets stringent limits on emission, reducing national emission rate of pollutants by 10% and energy used for each unit of GDP by 20%. In line with the market trend, ¡§Exhibition on Energy Conservation & Environmental Power¡¨ and the ¡§China International Energy Conservation & Environmental Power Technology Conference¡¨ will be concurrently held with EP / Electrical China 2008. The major power corporations in China like Huaneng, Datang, Huadian, Guodian, etc. will be invited to showcase their achievements and their future planning on energy conservation and emission control. This will be an excellent and effective platform for both the equipment manufacturers and the domestics' buyers and end-users.

To attract more trade visitors and thus strengthen interactions among the industrial players, a series of symposiums on the Technology of Power T&D, Energy Conservation and Environmental Power will be held as well.
