China’s National Energy Administration (NEA) has effectively confirmed its solar photovoltaic (PV) installation target for 2015 as being 17.8 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity, following the release of new figures from NEA, according to major media reports in China. The new figures also provide confirmation that the distributed generation goals introduced … [continued]
Disadvantaged energy users in China could receive a subsidy of as high as 70% for the installation of solar power facilities. China’s National Energy Administration (NEA) has just released its General Outline for the Solar Power Disadvantaged Support Implementation Plan (Trial) (光伏扶贫实施方案编制大纲（试行）) which envisages a raft of policy measures for expediting the … [continued]
The Chinese government is continuing to aim fairly high with regard to solar energy, as its recent reveal of the goal to install 15 gigawatts (GW) of new solar energy capacity in 2015 shows. That 15 GW of new capacity will ideally be made up of at least 7 GW … [continued]
China has been losing steam on ways to achieve its annual solar targets. With Japan coming up strongly, there is a real chance that the former may not be the leading solar installer this year. China had set itself a target to install 14 GW solar PV this year. However, … [continued]

This, despite statistics from the Chinese National Energy Administration that electricity … [continued]
China has set coal consumption standards for power plants designed to limit air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
The National Energy Agency of China wants to see more construction of distributed solar power & is revising regulations to encourage growth in the sector.
In a tripartite report released Friday, the Carbon Trust has suggested China accelerate its progress with offshore wind energy by taking cues from the UK’s extensive research, funding, and deployment expertise. Like other nations, the colossus of southeast Asia has major concerns about continuing to rely on coal for energy. … [continued]
Originally published on EnergyPost. By John Mathews and Hao Tan China’s renewable energy revolution is powering ahead, with the year 2013 marking an important inflection point where the scales tipped more towards electric power generated from water, wind and solar than from fossil fuels and nuclear. This means that its … [continued]
