        Notice on the removal of local content requirement in wind power projects equipments procurement

        The 2005 Notice of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) on the Management of Wind Power Construction imposed a local content requirement on wind plants. All newly installed wind power turbines had to source 70% of their components domestically to receive building approval. In 2009, the NDRC notice No. 2991 fully revoked the existing local content requirement on all wind turbines installed in China.

        Interim Feed-in Tariff for Four Ningxia Solar Projects

        The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) set up a special feed-in tariff of CNY 1.15/kWh, equivalent to USD 0.17, for four PV power plants in the Ningxia province. This decision stands as a first step in the process of implementing a national feed- in tariff for solar PV generated electricity. The projects, of a total capacity of 40 MW, are being developed by the China Energy Conservation Investment Corporation (CECICI), the Huadian Group Corporation and Ningxia Electric Power.
