The National Energy Administration (NEA) of China has been planning to set up distributed solar PV demonstration power plants across the country, it was recently announced. The plants will be operated in National Economic Development Zones and industrial parks in China with high power consumption, large numbers of industrial companies, and adequately sunny weather.

The National Energy Administration requires the solar projects to be funded by a single development team with the use of a “self-generate/consume” model. They also required that the demand of the subsidies should not exceed RMB 0.45/kWh.
“Last September the Chinese government unveiled plans to stimulate local PV demand with a programme to promote distributed solar generation. The measures were brought in to address overcapacity in China’s PV manufacturing industry and trade tensions with Europe and the US,” PV-Tech notes.
