On April 17, Shanxi Province’s Energy Bureau announced the Implementation Measures for the Distribution-based Self-use of Photovoltaic Power Generation Projects. The measures aim to promote centralized energy storage and connect to the power grid while encouraging new energy enterprises through flexible approaches such as self-construction, leasing, and purchasing service models.
It is stipulated that projects must not receive special permits that exceed the prescribed criteria for distribution-based self-use of photovoltaic power generation resources, and any type of resource that does not meet the criteria should not be developed.
In terms of energy utilization, strict limits will be imposed to ensure that the energy consumption entities use natural resources appropriately, as outlined in the project guidelines:
- The first rule emphasizes promoting high-quality energy resources and maintaining energy security for photovoltaic projects and power systems.
- The second stipulation focuses on user-side developments, emphasizing proper development on electrical networks, ensuring balance and compliance with regulations.
- The third rule requires that all entities involved follow the guidelines specified by the national energy department, which will oversee the implementation of these measures.
- The fourth rule indicates that distribution-based self-use projects must adhere to national standards and regulations to ensure safety and quality.
- The fifth stipulation states that distribution-based photovoltaic projects must comply with the national energy department’s regulatory framework.
According to the announcement, the distribution-based self-use projects must not exceed 50% utilization of the total capacity, and all enterprises must comply with the guidelines and ensure sustainability in their operations.
As part of the guidelines, energy consumption entities must ensure that they are properly connected to the grid and that their usage levels are within the set limits. This will help maintain balance and sustainability in the energy market.
Further, the guidelines specify that energy consumption should remain within the parameters established by the national regulations to avoid excessive burdens on the power grid.
Finally, all entities involved must ensure that they are compliant with the national standards and guidelines to promote a healthy, sustainable energy environment.
