Renewable energy quota system after the amendments introduced soon. This has been called the most difficult energy policy is currently being solicited proposals, plan amendments will be submitted to the State Council approval.

Reporter was informed that the National Energy Board renewable electricity quotas, drafted by examination (trial) (hereinafter "the examination regulations"), which has been discussed and approved in principle by the Director of the national development and Reform Commission, the Office. Comments under the Department of energy revised again to ministries such as ministries of finance, environmental protection, the SASAC, provincial and national development and Reform Commission, the power grid enterprises and major power generation companies for advice.

According to the August and Director of the Office of the assessment methods will be discussed, the quota would be divided into basic and advanced indicators level assessment. In accordance with the requirements, the provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) are required to meet basic targets to encourage provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) shall develop renewable energy targets beyond the basic indicators.

Compulsory measures for the development of renewable

Renewable energy quota system was launched, the State would provide the provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and grid enterprises to develop renewable electricity quotas, through a mandatory policy to local governments and electric power companies put on the magic spell.

In accordance with the test method, the State will extend the quota system assessment to non-hydro renewable electricity, including wind power, solar power, biomass power generation, geothermal power, and ocean energy power generation technology, large-scale development is primarily the first three.

An energy expert said, design reasons for this mechanism to consider the specificity of non-renewable water. Hydropower technology and industry are already very mature and emerging renewable energy such as wind power and solar power is still very weak, development costs are high, demand is limited, cannot be used to develop models to develop renewable sources of energy.

However, the quota system is mandatory, the implementation process have a strong administrative and planning. In the process of programme formulation, there are many different ideas, only theoretical research has more than 10 years.

In August this year and Director of the Office will be devoted to the examination regulations. People familiar with the plan introduced this meeting main make three points: first, Eastern regions should shoulder more responsibility of development of renewable energy, increased quotas in the eastern part; the second is to strengthen the power grid enterprises assume responsibility for complete quota; quota is divided into basic and advanced indicators three levels assessment.

Under the programme, included in the renewable energy electricity non-hydro renewable electricity consumption including quota: the production and consumption of non-hydro renewable electricity; input power non-hydro renewable electricity from outside the region, as well as the spontaneous use of quantifiable non-hydro renewable electricity. Deliveries to other areas of non-hydro renewable electricity included in the receiving areas, are no longer included in the sending end.

Local government, network enterprise is the main body responsible

Under the code of assessment methods, shared by all provincial and national and provincial-level power grid enterprises assume complete responsibility for renewable electricity quotas.

Among them, local governments assume complete administrative responsibility for renewable electricity quotas, State grid enterprises of the respective provincial network completed renewable electricity quotas to assume leadership. Various renewable power ventures required by the people's Government of the province in which the project, assume responsibility for expansion of renewable electricity production investment, the obligation to carry out efficient renewable electricity production.

Energy Administration Department under the State Council of equity-generating capacity exceeding 5 million-kilowatt power generation enterprises (Group) 's non-hydro renewable electricity monitoring and evaluation of the investment and production, and annual monitoring and evaluation report to be published.

In addition, the strict regulatory requirements of the assessment methods. In the evaluation period does not meet the renewable electricity quotas or basic indicators in annual progress lags behind provinces, energy Administration Department under the State Council may suspend release or reduce the scale of fossil energy power years new construction measures such as effective regulation of energy structure of the area. Unfinished renewable electricity quotas of basic indicators for the province and are subject to State grid enterprises should make a special report to the State Council.

For evaluation period exceeds renewable electricity quotas for basic indicators for the province, the State Council Department in charge of energy in its total energy consumption control goals are rightly, will exceed renewable electricity quotas of basic indicators part finish power consumption according to the converted values, such as energy conservation, the control limits are not included in the total energy consumption in the region.
