Shaanxi Province Prioritizes Five Areas for Investment

Shaanxi Province in Northwest China has set its sights on five key areas for investment in the coming years, as outlined by Governor Jia Zhibang. These areas include energy, road transportation, railway transportation, agriculture and water conservancy, and industry. According to the province's plans, energy production is expected to increase significantly, with a total installed capacity of electric power reaching 54.20 million KW and generating 271.0 billion KWH by 2025.

The energy sector will be driven by key projects such as the Qingshuichuan and Miaogoumen coal-power integration projects, aiming to increase installed capacity by 5 million KW within 3-5 years. In the road transportation sector, the construction of expressways and highways will be accelerated, with four expressways scheduled for completion this year and six others under construction. The railway transportation sector will focus on the Xi'an-Yan'an railway and the transformation of the Xi'an railways hub project, with preparatory work underway for the construction of double lines of other railways. In agriculture and water conservancy, the focus will be on four water diversion projects and the construction of two reservoirs. The industry sector will prioritize several key projects, including the Guangzhong High-tech Industry Base and the Northern Shaanxi Energy and Chemical Base.
