On May 20, the Energy Bureau of Alashan League, Inner Mongolia, announced the details regarding the development and construction of the first batch of decentralized wind power and distributed photovoltaic projects for 2025. The notice highlighted that, in light of the new energy consumption conditions and electricity load growth in the Alashan power grid from January to April 2025, a plan has been established to implement a total capacity of 100,000 kilowatts for decentralized wind power and 100,000 kilowatts for distributed photovoltaic power.
For decentralized wind power, the capacity of each project should not exceed 50 megawatts. In the case of distributed photovoltaic systems, the capacity limits are set as follows: for residential systems owned by individuals and non-individual users, the capacity should not exceed 6 megawatts; for large commercial distributed photovoltaic systems connected to the public grid at a voltage level of 35 kilovolts, the total installed capacity should ideally not exceed 20 megawatts. For those connected at a voltage level of 110 kilovolts (or 66 kilovolts), the total capacity should not exceed 50 megawatts.
The connection mode for decentralized wind power will follow the interim management measures set by the National Energy Administration, while the connection mode for distributed photovoltaic systems will adhere to the management guidelines for distributed photovoltaic power generation development. If new management measures are introduced by the state or autonomous region, those regulations will take precedence.
Projects approved for the construction of decentralized wind power and distributed photovoltaic power in 2025 and beyond must strictly control construction timetables and grid connection times. Generally, approvals or filings should be completed within six months of receiving the capacity targets, with construction beginning within the same year and efforts made to connect to the grid by the end of that year, but no later than the end of the following year. Projects that fail to connect to the grid within the stipulated timeframe will be subject to discontinuation by energy management departments in accordance with the interim management measures for wind and solar power project approvals in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
After grid connection, projects must report their establishment information to the national renewable energy information management platform.
