2020 photovoltaic policy forecast

2020 will be a year in the history of the development of the photovoltaic industry. In 2021, the photovoltaic industry will fully enter the era of parity, and no national subsidies will be required. Therefore, photovoltaic related policies will also undergo huge changes. Recently, [Photovoltaic Information] WeChat platform (Wechat: PV-info) According to the public information of relevant channels, some changes of photovoltaic policy in 2020 have been arranged for the reference of photovoltaic people only.

I. Reforming the current photovoltaic subsidy catalog management method

Beginning in 2020, the state will no longer publish the renewable energy subsidy catalog, that is, it will no longer organize the declaration of the eighth batch of renewable energy subsidy catalogs. All renewable energy projects will fill in additional information on electricity prices through the national renewable energy information management platform, and According to the principles determined by the Ministry of Finance, the Energy Bureau and other departments, the grid companies determine the list of projects that meet the additional electricity price and the order of subsidy funds according to the project type, grid connection time, and technical level.

The specific goal is to reform subsidies and simplify the payment process.

1. The “Renewable Energy Subsidy Catalogue” will become the “Renewable Energy Power Project Subsidy List”, and the related review functions of the energy management department will be delegated to the grid companies.

2. To enter the list of subsidized projects, several conditions need to be met: inclusion in the annual scale management scope (with indicators), on-grid electricity prices being approved by the price department, grid connection time meeting requirements, and relevant procedures approved by the national renewable energy information platform. Hardware requirements are indispensable.

3. In the new management measures, projects such as photovoltaic poverty alleviation, distribution of natural persons, and voluntary participation in electricity marketization transactions can be given priority funding.

4. Renewable energy projects that have entered the first to seventh batch of directories are directly included in the list of renewable energy power generation project subsidies for power grid companies.
