rates affect energy demand in many ways, for example residential urban<br />

consumers own more appliances and consumer electronics than those in rural<br />

communities.<br />

The main reason for these disparities is that investment for construction,<br />

infrastructure and industry has centred in the coastal regions. Export<br />

industries, one of the main drivers of the Chinese economy so far, has gone<br />

almost entirely to the coastal provinces. Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang and<br />

Guangdong alone account for 70% of China’s exports. The share of industry<br />

in GDP in 2005 averaged 51% in the coastal region as a whole, compared with<br />

45% in the inland region. Industry in the coastal region grew by 11.1% per<br />

year in 2000-2005, compared with 10.1% per year nationally. The share of<br />

services in GDP– which has also grown strongly – is only slightly higher in the<br />

coastal region, averaging 40% compared with 38% for inland areas. The<br />

services sector on the coast grew by 10.1% per year from 2000 to 2005,<br />

compared to 9.9% per year nationally. Agriculture accounts for a much lower<br />

share of GDP on the coast (8%) than inland (17%).<br />

The Reference Scenario energy projections for coastal China (set out in the<br />

next section), as for China as a whole and all other WEO regions, rest on key<br />

assumptions regarding the economy, population, international energy prices<br />
