Harbin Projects Included in China National PPP List

The capital city of Heilongjiang province, Harbin, now has five proposed infrastructure projects that have been included on China’s public-private partnership (PPP) list, according to an announcement from the Development and Reform Commission, China’s top economic planner, on May 25.

The five projects are an expressway that connects Harbin with outlying towns, a highway running to Zhaoyuan county, a water pumping station in the city’s airport economic zone, a hydro-project in its nearby Yilan county, and a vocational education park.

This gives the province a total of 18 projects on the PPP list, with eight of them in water conservation, eight in transportation, one for civic facilities, and one in public service.

The commission’s complete list contains 1,043 projects in a wide range of sectors, including water conservation, transportation, civic facilities, public services, ecology and the environment. The list provides detailed information on all of them, such as location, industrial category, form of the partnership, people in charge, and contact information.

Commission officials estimate the projects to be worth around 1.97 trillion yuan ($317.75 billion).
