Under the guise of industry policies, China has actively launched a new model of renewable energy promotion, and has made new progress in promoting distributed photovoltaic projects across the county. On September 14, the National Energy Administration formally issued the "Announcement of the List of Pilots for the Development of Roof Distributed Photovoltaics in the Whole Counties (Cities, Districts) Guoneng Zongtong Xinneng [2021] No. 84," The list of districts will be announced.

According to the notice, there are a total of 676 projects in China, all of which are listed as pilots for the development of distributed rooftop photovoltaics in the entire county (city, district). The pilot work must be strictly implemented "voluntary and non-compulsory, pilot non-approval, in place and non-overside, competition and non-monopoly, and work is not suspended." "The job requirements.

During the pilot process, it is not allowed to suspend or postpone other projects, such as project registration, grid connection, etc., on the grounds of carrying out the pilot program. Those who fail to implement national policies, arbitrarily add conditions, or increase the cost of enterprise development and construction in a disguised manner during the pilot process will be disqualified from the pilot program.

The specific documents are as follows:

Notice of the Comprehensive Department of the National Energy Administration on the announcement of the entire county (city, district) rooftop distributed photovoltaic development pilot list

Energy bureaus of all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government), relevant provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and the Development and Reform Commission of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps:

In June 2021, the National Energy Administration issued the "Notice of the Comprehensive Department of the National Energy Administration on Reporting the Pilot Program for the Development of a County (City, District) Roof Distributed Photovoltaic Development" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"). At present, all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps have submitted pilot plans in accordance with the requirements of the "Notice". The list of pilot counties (cities, districts) submitted by various localities is hereby announced, and the relevant matters are notified as follows:

1. Each province (autonomous region, municipality directly under the Central Government) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps has submitted a total of 676 pilot counties (cities, districts), all of which are listed as the entire county (city, district) rooftop distributed photovoltaic development pilot. The specific list is shown in the attachment.

2. The National Energy Administration will rely on the monthly dispatch mechanism for the development and construction of renewable energy power generation projects to monitor the entire process of the filing, start-up, construction and grid connection of various rooftop distributed photovoltaic power generation projects in the pilot areas, and announce relevant information on a quarterly basis .

3. In the first quarter of each year, the National Energy Administration will assess and announce the development progress, new energy consumption and utilization, model innovation, and compliance status of each pilot area of the previous year.

4. Before the end of 2023, if the proportion of various rooftop photovoltaic power generation in the pilot area meets the requirements of the "Notice", it will be listed as a demonstration county (city, district) rooftop distributed photovoltaic development demonstration county.

5. The pilot work must strictly implement the work requirements of "voluntary and non-compulsory, non-examination and approval of the pilot, non-overside in place, non-monopoly of competition, and non-suspended work". The pilot areas should improve the business environment for new energy development and construction, reduce the non-technical costs of rooftop distributed photovoltaic development and construction, and reduce the burden on investment and development enterprises. During the pilot process, it is not allowed to suspend or postpone other projects, such as project registration, grid connection, etc., on the grounds of carrying out the pilot program. Those who fail to implement national policies, arbitrarily add conditions, or increase the cost of enterprise development and construction in a disguised manner during the pilot process will be disqualified from the pilot program. Non-pilot counties (cities, districts) continue to carry out the development and construction of various photovoltaic power generation projects in accordance with existing relevant regulations.

6. Based on the analysis of the power grid carrying capacity, local power grid companies should cooperate with the provincial power planning and pilot county construction plans, fully consider the needs of large-scale distributed photovoltaic access, and actively do the relevant counties (cities, districts) Power grid planning, strengthen county (city, district) distribution network construction and transformation, and do a good job in rooftop distributed photovoltaic grid connection services and regulation and operation management.

7. All provincial-level energy authorities should strengthen the organization and leadership and work guidance of the pilot work in the region, standardize the development and construction of the market order, and deal with and correct problems and deviations in the pilot work in a timely manner; they must formulate model contract texts, etc. , To effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of farmers, take advantage of the rooftop distributed photovoltaic development opportunity to damage the interests of farmers in various names, we must severely investigate and deal with bad credit records and the list of punishment for dishonesty. The dispatched agencies should strengthen the supervision of the implementation of policies, development progress, grid access, and grid-connected consumption in the pilot areas, and ensure that the entire county (city, district) rooftop distributed photovoltaic development pilot work is carried out in a standardized manner.

8. The National Energy Administration will organize experts to strengthen the guidance and coordination of pilot work in various regions through on-site surveys and other methods, and improve policies and measures in a timely manner. All pilot areas shall promptly report to the National Energy Administration the problems found in the progress of the work. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
