在过去一年中,中英能源关系出现了几个方面的主要变化。一是中英双方在第十次中英财金对话中重申了双方继续保持能源合作、维护“清洁能源伙伴关系”的地位;二是中英能源关系开始受到美国的负面影响;三是中国核电企业稳固推进欣克利角C项目及其相关协定,包括开展有关塞兹韦尔C项目的谈判、完成华龙一号的通用设计审查(GDA)第二阶段并进入第三阶段;四是中国核电企业还获得了一些新的扩张机会。此外,中英之间风电合作几乎在维持现状,没有更多突破性进展。展望未来,中英能源合作的大方向不会变,但会受到美国压力、英国内部疑虑情绪的影响。
During the last year,several major changes were seen in Sino-British energy relations. Firstly,in the 10th Sino-British Economic and Financial Dialogue,both sides reiterated their willingness to maintain cooperation in energy and the “Clean Energy Partnership”. Secondly,Sino-British relations were affected by the US,especially by the addition of CGN into the “entity list”. Thirdly,the Chinese nuclear companies were carrying out their plans,including participating in the Hinkley Point C project,negotiating with Electricite de France (EDF) about the Sizewell project and submitting Hualong One to Generic Design Assessment. Fourthly,thanks to Centrica’s sale of its stake,Chinese nuclear companies obtained more opportunities to expand themselves into the UK. In addition,cooperation in wind power has been remained during the last year,with no significant progress made. Looking into the future,the cooperation in energy between the two countries will be probably maintained,but increasingly influenced by the changing approach to China of the US and the skeptical attitude towards Chinese nuclear companies of the UK.
