The Digital New Energy DataBM. Com has learned that recently, the General Department of the State Energy Administration issued an urgent notice of the Work Program for the Special Regulation of Improper Market Intervention in the Field of New Energy and Pumped Storage Development.
The circular points out that it will focus on wind power, photovoltaic and pumped storage development projects implemented by local organizations since January 1, 2023. Check whether there is improper market intervention in the whole process of signing the development intention agreement, compiling the market-oriented allocation plan of project investment, organizing and implementing the market-oriented allocation project development process, and project development and construction. Focus on rectifying the following problems:
(1) Mandatory requirements for supporting industries
for new energy power generation and pumped storage projects through documents and other forms. Local governments or relevant competent departments shall issue documents and other forms to mandatory requirements for supporting industries for new energy power generation and pumped storage projects. In particular, wind turbines, towers, polysilicon, silicon wafers, batteries, battery components and other new energy industry chains, including:
First, in the relevant documents, it is clear or disguised that the project must support industries or introduce industries;
Second, although there is no explicit provision, it is verbally mandatory to require supporting industries, or to give obstacles or obvious discriminatory policies to projects and investors who have not promised supporting industries.
(2) By means of documents and other forms, local governments or relevant competent authorities are required to force investment
in new energy power generation and pumped storage projects to land by issuing documents and other forms. Specifically, it includes
: firstly, requiring enterprises to pay a high margin, investment cooperation margin, project development and construction performance bond, introduction of foreign capital, etc.;
secondly, obtaining or restricting the additional income of the project, such as the carbon emission rights generated by the project and the income from carbon emissions, etc.
It is reported that the special renovation will end on November 30, 2023. After the completion of the local self-examination and rectification, the National Energy Administration will organize verification and evaluation, and select typical cases to be notified if the rectification has not been carried out. At the same time, the State Energy Administration, together with the relevant departments of the State Council, will supervise and guide the special rectification work, and notify the local government to deal with the slow progress, false work and poor results. At present, Fujian, Guizhou, Shanxi and other places have followed up the notice.
