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.
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.
The announcement of subsidy phase-out led to a larger energy “rebound effect”. They adjusted electricity usage patterns to maximize revenue from solar electricity. With the impending post-subsidy era, the Chinese government has initiated significant reductions in household photovoltaic (PV) subsidies.
The most significant reduction in household PV subsidies occurred in December 2017. The Chinese government announced a subsidy reduction of 0.05 RMB/kWh for household PV generation after January 2018. This means that households that installed and used PVs after 2018 had to accept lower PV generation subsidies of 0.37 RMB/kWh.
To test our argument, we use the case of the PV generation subsidy phase-out policy in China. China is the world's largest PV market, and the household PV industry has heavily relied on subsidy-based business models (Xiong and Yang, 2016).
Residents derive income from generous PV generation subsidies, which directly subsidize solar electricity generated by their photovoltaic systems. On the other hand, capital investment subsidies are provided for solar PV systems, leading to lower prices through subsidies (D'Adamo et al., 2022).
