Description
To meet the policy agenda of establishing an environmentally and climate-friendly energy system, several supporting mechanisms have been introduced under China’s Renewable Energy Law. Within the context of China’s power sector reform towards a more liberalised model, a key feature of these supporting mechanisms has been increased regulation and enforcement to ensure priority access of renewable energy to the grid, in pursuit of the goals to increase the renewable energy share to 25% by 2030 and attain carbon neutrality by 2060. However, in reality, the usage of electricity generated from renewable energy in China has been significantly curtailed, as such electricity is not adequately dispatched by grid operators. To address this, the managing authorities of China’s electricity sector have implemented several regulatory measures to facilitate renewable energy integration. This seminar will discuss these regulatory measures and their implementation.
