China is expected to have installed nuclear power generating capacity of 70-80 gigawatts by 2020 and 200 GW by 2030, the China Securities Journal reported Tuesday citing a senior energy expert.

The capacity will be further expanded to over 400 GW by 2050 as China aims to increase the ratio of cleaner-burning, non-fossil fuels in its energy mix, Zhou Dadi, deputy director of the National Energy Expert Consultation Committee, said in the report.

China currently has around 9 GW of nuclear capacity.

The nation's hydroelectric power generating capacity will likely reach 300 GW, 400GW and 450-500 GW by 2020, 2030 and 2050, respectively, Zhou said in the report.
