Chinese firms want investments in US energy infrastructure

Several Chinese companies are studying the feasibility of investing in energy-saving infrastructure.

According to Wang Boyong, executive deputy secretary-general of the China Institute for Innovation and Development Strategy, these include high-speed railways and intelligent electric grid networks.

"Such infrastructure projects can help diversify China's overseas investments and take advantage of the country's advanced solutions in such sectors," Wang said.

"At the same time, they have great potential to offer more job opportunities in the United States," he added.
China and the US are expected to sign a number of agreements relating to clean-energy cooperation during the forum.

The Chinese companies involved include Shenhua Group, State Nuclear Power Technology Corp Ltd and China Guodian Corp.
