• Recently, the Development and Reform Commission of Xinjiang Autonomous Region issued a notice clarifying that it will accelerate the promotion of green power direct connection and incremental distribution network consumption mode. The document requires adhering to the principle of "load determines source", ensuring synchronous construction and operation of power sources and loads, and enhancing system regulation capabilities through the configuration of energy storage or virtual power plants. The principle of project access voltage shall not exceed 220 kV, and no reverse power transmission shall be allowed to the grid before the operation of the electricity spot market. The new policy further standardizes the process of project application, configuration, and acceptance, aiming to achieve high-level on-site consumption of new energy and provide support for the optimization of China's energy structure.Editor/Yang Meiling
