Guidelines on promoting development of small hydropower projects in China
China recognises small hydropower installations as an important renewable energy source and a livelihood element. In order to implement Central Committee’s and State Council’s decisions on promotion of renewable energy development and energy revolution, the Ministry of Water Resources adopted “Guidelines on promoting development of small hydropower projects”.
The document outlines plan for the development of small hydropower installations until 2030 with a respect to environmental protection, based on technology improvements and best practices of plant construction, operation and management.
The document establishes objectives to:

Total targeted installed wind capacity
210 GW
By 2020 onshore and offshore wind plants will generate 420 TWh on an annual basis, accounting for about 6% of the total generating capacity in China.
In mid-east China and South China on-grid wind installed capacity will reach more than 42 GW. Cumulative installed capacity for these two regions will reach more than 70 GW.
By the same year, the curtailment issued of the North regions of China will be solved. New installed capacity for this part of China will reach 35 GW reaching cumulative capacity of 135 GW. -
