China's National Energy Administration recently issued a notification which confirmed that China will add 5.3 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power-generating capacity to its 2015 construction plan. New energy 'demonstration cities' and green power 'demonstration counties' that have favourable constructions conditions for photovoltaic power stations are being given permission to build new photovoltaic power stations, Xinhua reported.
The notification was issued based on the construction and operating conditions of photovoltaic power stations around the country in the first half of this year. Some provinces and autonomous regions, including Inner Mongolia, Hebei and Xinjiang, are allowed to add more photovoltaic power-generating capacity.
According to the notification, construction on the approved photovoltaic power station projects should begin in 2015 and be completed and integrated with the national grid by June 30, 2016.
According to the National Energy Administration, China’s original 2015 construction plan for photovoltaic power-generating capacity was 17.8 million kilowatt.
