China’s public promotion system for solar energy is a feed-in tariff with government approval of projects.
The government, which comprises the central government and local government sub-divisions as well,
first needs to approve each solar power project. If a project is approved, the government will set an ap-
propriate feed-in tariff, on a project-by-project basis. After a solar power project is approved by the gov-
ernment, the feed-in tariff price for power from that project is determined by the pricing department of the
State Council, based on the principle of reasonable production costs plus reasonable profit.
On 26 December 2009, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) – China’s legis-
lative body – passed an amendment bill revising China's Renewable Energy Law. The revised law came
into effect in April 2010. The revision of the RE Law is mainly aimed at promoting the development of
power grids. This objective is now also stressed in the NPC's work report on this year’s annual session
where the development of a smart power grid is highlighted as one of the government's efforts in the en-
ergy sector. Apart from a new general obligation imposed on grid companies to strengthen the construc-
tion of power grids and to use smart power grid technology to increase the ability to utilise renewable
energy, foremost among the amendments is the creation of a renewable energy quota. In the future, the
energy department of the State Council will determine a minimum quota for the national renewable en-
ergy output and formulate and supervise implementing measures to ensure that all electricity generated
from renewable energy projects is purchased by the grid companies. Under the RE Law of 2006, a devel-
opment fund had been established and financed by the state, under which grants and loans are extended to
renewable energy producers. Under the revised law, in addition to the funds allocated by the state, a re-
newable energy surcharge will be levied on the electricity sold throughout the country to help finance the
development fund.
