6 FAQs about [China s solar power subsidy prices]
What's happening with China's Renewable subsidy formula & power price structure?
China’s renewable subsidy formula and power price structure have been through a rapid and rather complex shakeup in the past two years. Last week, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) unleashed yet another new measure, mainly addressing offshore wind and solar thermal but also clarifying some regulatory matters.
Will China's crowded solar power sector keep global prices low?
Consolidation in China's crowded solar power sector is pushing smaller players out of the market, but excess production capacity - with more on the way - threatens to keep global prices low for years.
When will China's Renewable subsidy end?
To recap, a general decision to sunset renewable subsidy has been made by the Beijing authority back in May 2018. The policy then determined that onshore wind and mounted solar projects will first reach “grid-parity”—by the end of 2020.
Does Beijing have a'subsidy-free' renewable pricing policy?
Beijing has more or less completed the design of a brand new renewable pricing, by the release of this policy and a few others since 2018. The keyword is “subsidy-free.” Onshore wind and solar will already meet grid parity next year.
