Galicia Special: Galicia looks to China for energy joint ventures

As the world's second largest energy consumer, China is drawing-up ambitious multi-trillion yuan investment plans to promote the uptake of renewable energy sources.

With interest in this sector never higher, many companies are now eyeing investment and acquisition opportunities abroad, particularly in the US and Europe. One, perhaps surprising, addition to this list of prospects is Galicia, an autonomous region in northwest Spain.

Faced with an expected exponential growth in world energy demands, Spain, as one of the world's market leaders in the field of renewable energies, has played a major role in Europe's development of clean energy sources.
