On September 30, 2025, at 13:17, the Jiangsu Provincial Energy Bureau issued a set of regulations concerning the management of distributed energy resources. This directive aims to streamline the development and management of distributed energy generation within the province.
As of September 29, Jiangsu Province’s Energy Bureau and the Jiangsu Energy Regulatory Commission jointly released the “Jiangsu Province Distributed Energy Resource Management Regulations (Trial Version),” effective for five years starting from the date of issuance. The regulations specify that from January 23, 2025, and on May 1, 2025, distributed energy projects must adhere to the newly established guidelines.
These regulations have been designed to ensure that the capacity of self-generated electricity from distributed energy resources is maximized. For instance, if the generated electricity does not exceed 30% of the total capacity, the project will not qualify for incentives. Similarly, for industrial enterprises, if they do not exceed 50% of the total capacity, they will not qualify for supportive measures.
The regulations impose strict requirements on various types of distributed energy projects, particularly those involving self-generation. The projects must pass through a rigorous approval process to ensure compliance with the electricity generation capacity standards set forth in the regulations.
According to the regulations, distributed energy projects will fall into several categories, including those for residential use, non-residential use, and industrial applications. Each category will have specific guidelines regarding the maximum allowable capacity, connection points, and other operational standards.
The regulations also mandate that large-scale industrial enterprises must ensure that their self-generated electricity capacity aligns with the set standards. If the capacity exceeds the prescribed limits, the project will not receive the necessary support or incentives.
Furthermore, the regulations require that all distributed energy projects undergo a thorough evaluation process to verify compliance with national standards and to ensure that the energy generated is efficiently utilized.
In summary, the newly issued regulations by the Jiangsu Provincial Energy Bureau aim to enhance the management of distributed energy resources, ensuring that these projects are developed in accordance with established standards and effectively contribute to the province’s energy goals.
