Eighteen provinces in China including Shandong and Anhui have rolled out plans to construct a total of more than 413,000 5G base stations this year, as China speeds up the investment in new infrastructure to bolster consumption amid the impact of coronavirus outbreak.

SHANGHAI, Mar 30 (SMM) – Eighteen provinces in China including Shandong and Anhui have rolled out plans to construct a total of more than 413,000 5G base stations this year, as China speeds up the investment in new infrastructure to bolster consumption amid the impact of coronavirus outbreak.

Experts also advised that the governments should offer supportive policies in the issuance of special-purpose bonds designated for financing infrastructure.

Separately, south China's Guangdong province targets to build 60,000 5G base stations in 2020, with 48,000 to be completed in the first three quarters, according to the Measures on Responding to the Impact of the COVID-19 Epidemic to Promote Information Services and Consumption released by local authorities.

By year-end, 5G network will cover more than 90% of the population in Guangdong, authorities said.

China to ramp up 5G network construction to revive economy

This is in response to the central government’s call to build "new infrastructure" projects to counter the economic fallout due to the coronavirus and boost the country's economy in the long term. New infrastructure, different from traditional infrastructure construction such as railways, roads, and airports, can be understood as new public facilities serving the needs of new industrialisation.

Ultra-high-voltage projects to limitedly drive copper consumption in 2020

China’s copper consumption growth sees limited traction from the critical investor—China State Grid (SGCC) this year, as the state-owned electricity network operator only plans a moderate investment increase. Ultra-high voltage (UHV) projects that have been heavily betted on to enhance the grid's distribution capacity, are not expected to significantly drive up copper consumption, either, as they will use aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) cables, rather than copper-containing cables, in overhead power lines.
