In order to promote the large-scale development of solar thermal power generation, the People's Government of Qinghai Province recently issued the "Several Measures for Promoting the Scale Development of Solar Thermal Power Generation in Qinghai Province". The document proposes to support incremental independent solar thermal projects included in the development and construction plan to independently conduct mechanism electricity price bidding one year before the prescribed completion deadline. The policy will comprehensively consider factors such as the comprehensive income of enterprises and the value of green electricity to set a reasonable upper limit for bidding, and set a lower limit for bidding based on the principle of not being lower than the project cost, with a starting lower limit of 0.55 yuan/kWh. The lower limit will moderately decrease year by year, with the goal of achieving comparable prices to coal-fired power by 2030.Editor/Yang Meiling
