Effective August 1, 2021, China will stop subsidizing new solar farm projects, distributed solar projects for commercial users, and onshore wind farms. For years, China had been generous towards wind and solar projects.
A major push to install rooftop solar panels on Chinese buildings is putting the nation on track for another record-setting year on renewable energy.
The motivation behind the cut was that China wanted to ensure the local solar industry was economically sustainable over the long term. However, more recently, China’s finance ministry committed to granting 57 percent more subsidies to solar power projects this year, but cut subsidies for wind power.
Most of that rooftop solar has been added in the past two years, as China offered support for local governments to boost installations, and raised power rates to businesses, making generating their own electricity more attractive.
The rooftop solar programme, she added, will “no doubt help to decarbonise China’s power sector and help with the energy system transition”. The programme has been hailed for the way it delivers a top-down policy in a decentralised manner.
China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has allocated RMB500 million (US$78.1 million) for the incentive scheme for residential PV in 2021. With the current subsidy level of RMB0.03 per watt, this total amount will feed around 16 GW of residential PV, according to government estimations.
