12 The Provincial Energy Bureau shall organize local energy authorities, power grid enterprises and other relevant units to evaluate the carrying capacity and improvement measures of distributed photovoltaic power generation access to the grid in accordance with relevant standards and norms, and establish a quarterly release and early warning mechanism for the open capacity of the distribution network and organize its implementation. Provincial electric power companies organize power grid enterprises at all levels to announce the accessible capacity to the public quarterly through portals, business halls and other channels, station by station, line by line and station by station. Article
13 After completing the filing procedures, the project investor shall submit relevant materials such as the filing certificate, the letter of intent for grid connection, the qualification of the project investor and the certificate of ownership of the power generation address to the local power grid enterprise in a timely manner. Distributed photovoltaic power generation projects other than natural household use should provide information such as the progress of the preliminary work of the project. The power grid enterprise shall give a written reply within 2 working days. Those who fail to reply within the time limit shall be deemed to have been accepted. When the accessible capacity is insufficient, the power grid enterprise shall inform the project investor and register according to the order of application for access, and then notify the project investor to go through the relevant formalities in time when the conditions are met. Distributed photovoltaic power generation projects
with full self-use mode are not subject to local open capacity restrictions. Article
14 Investors of distributed photovoltaic power generation projects shall, after obtaining the grid-connected opinions of grid enterprises, take into account the construction conditions, grid access points and other factors as a whole, and carry out the design of access systems.
