9 CHINA’S PROMOTION OF WIND AND SOLAR POWER …
221
China put in place a four-level wind power tariff system suitable
for regions with different meteorological conditions in 2009, and in
terms of solar PV power to which China has applied a unified nationwide feed-in tariff, the government has been inspired by its own
approach to wind power to formulate three categories of on-grid tariffs
targeted at regions with varied solar conditions since August 2013. When
promoting low-carbon power generation, the Chinese government needs
to respond to new industrial and market conditions as well as environmental concerns faster. Emerging trends, driven by more sophisticated
energy markets, volatile energy production costs, reassessment of innate
geographical conditions and environmental impact, and increased attention to supporting domestic industries, should be better reflected in the
making of non-fossil fuel policies.
