Heavy! New version of the Administrative Measures for the Development and Construction of Photovoltaic Power Stations

On December 26, the National Energy Administration issued a notice on printing and distributing the Administrative Measures for the Development and Construction of Photovoltaic Power Stations. According to the document, the measures are applicable to the industry management, annual development and construction plans, project construction management, power grid access management and operation monitoring of centralized photovoltaic power stations. The administration of distributed photovoltaic power generation shall be separately stipulated.

Energy authorities at all levels shall optimize the business environment, standardize the order of development and construction, and shall not impose mandatory supporting industries or investment or illegally collect project deposits as the threshold for project development and construction.

Except for the exemption circumstances stipulated by the National Energy Administration, the photovoltaic power station project shall obtain the power business license within 6 months after grid connection, and the dispatched office of the National Energy Administration shall disclose the information of the administrative license according to regulations. Power grid enterprises shall not allow photovoltaic power station projects that have not obtained power business licenses within 6 months after grid connection to generate electricity online.

These Measures shall come into force as of the date of promulgation and be valid for 5 years.

National Development and Reform Commission: Key planning and construction of large-scale wind power photovoltaic base project!

On Dec. 9, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a circular titled "Further Study and Implement the Party's 20 Great Spirits and Comprehensively Promote the Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation through Chinese-style modernization." 'We will actively yet prudently promote peaking carbon neutrality and continue to improve the "1+N" policy system for peaking carbon neutrality,' the circular said. We will improve regulation of total energy consumption and intensity, and gradually shift to a system of "double control" of total carbon emission and intensity.

We will accelerate the planning and construction of new energy systems, and focus on the construction of large-scale wind power photovoltaic base projects in desert, Gobi and desert areas. We will speed up the green transformation of our development model, accelerate the adjustment and optimization of the energy mix, improve the system of green technology innovation, and promote the formation of green and low-carbon modes of production and life.

We will strengthen the country's strategic strength in science and technology, and foster new growth engines such as next-generation information technology, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, new energy, new materials, high-end equipment, and green and environmental protection.

Issued the "Implementation Opinions on Large-scale Promotion of Energy Conservation Renovation of Existing Public Buildings in this City"

In order to promote the high-quality development of green and low-carbon construction work in Shanghai, implement the requirements of the Implementation Plan of Carbon Peak in Urban and Rural Construction in Shanghai and other documents, and further strengthen the energy conservation renovation of public buildings, the Municipal Administration Commission of Housing and Urban and Rural Construction issued the Implementation Opinions on Large-scale Promotion of Energy Conservation Renovation of Existing Public Buildings in Shanghai.

Four ministries and commissions: advance layout decommissioned photovoltaic, wind power generation installations and other emerging solid waste comprehensive utilization

On Dec 12, four ministries, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Ministry of Water Resources, jointly issued a guideline on further promoting green industrial development in the Yellow River Basin. The guideline states that regions rich in wind and solar energy, such as Qinghai and Ningxia, will be supported in developing rooftop photovoltaic, smart photovoltaic, decentralized wind power, multiple energy storage and efficient heat pumps, and that green industrial microgrids will be built in Henan and other provinces and regions to promote the efficient and complementary use of multiple energy sources, so as to provide high-quality clean energy for industrial enterprises in the Yellow River Basin.

The Opinions stressed that Shanxi, Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces and regions should actively implement the extended producer responsibility system, strengthen the traceability management of power batteries for new-energy vehicles, and actively promote the construction of waste power battery recycling projects. The comprehensive utilization of decommissioned photovoltaic and wind power plants and other emerging solid wastes will be implemented ahead of schedule.
