The Renewable Energy Quota Management Measures Are Expected To Be Issued Within The Year

The reporter of China Securities News learned from relevant personnel of the National Energy Administration on the 9th that Renewable Energy Law The most important supporting rules Measures for the Administration of Renewable Energy Quota, It has been included in the 2011 work plan of the National Energy Administration, and this method is expected to Issued within the year 。

Both the Renewable Energy Law revised in 2010 and the Decision on Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of Strategic Emerging Industries issued by the State Council mentioned the need to implement the renewable energy security system, but at the specific operational level, the relevant implementation rules have not yet been issued.

The Medium and Long Term Development Plan for Renewable Energy released in September 2007 also stipulates the target of mandatory market share for hydropower renewable energy power generation, that is, by 2010 and 2020, the proportion of non hydropower renewable energy power generation in the total power generation of the grid in the areas covered by the large grid will reach more than 1% and 3% respectively; The total installed capacity of non hydropower renewable energy power generation owned by investors with total installed capacity of equity power generation exceeding 5 million kilowatts shall respectively reach 3% and 8% of their total installed capacity of equity power generation.

It is understood that in the management measures to be issued in the future, the renewable energy power generation quota system may have two forms: one is to forcibly allocate the quota to the grid company, requiring that a certain proportion of its power purchase must come from renewable energy; The other is to assign quotas to power generation enterprises, requiring that renewable energy power generation must account for a certain proportion of the electricity generated.

In order to implement the quota system in advance, power enterprises have taken precautions in recent years, and renewable energy such as wind power has accounted for a certain proportion of installed capacity. However, due to the lack of detailed rules for the implementation of the quota system, the power grid enterprises have only macro objectives and no specific management measures. Industry insiders said that the introduction of the "Renewable Energy Quota Management Measures" will provide a strong guarantee for renewable energy grid connection at the operational level, and problems such as wind power grid connection difficulties are expected to be alleviated.

Recently, Zhang Guobao, Director of the National Energy Administration, also said at the national energy work conference that the National Energy Administration will actively implement the renewable energy law and formulate and implement the renewable energy quota management measures in 2011.
