Polaris Solar Photovoltaic Network News: On April 28, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Notice on Improving the Relevant Issues Concerning the On-grid Price Mechanism of Photovoltaic Power Generation" (Development and Reform Price [2019] No. 761), and on April 30, the official website of the National Development and Reform Commission. Publicly released, the document clarified the on-grid price of PV projects in 2019, and the PV price policy in 2019 finally settled.The core of the policy is bidding: in addition to poverty alleviation and household distributed power plants, all distributed photovoltaic power plants and centralized models participate in the bidding. China Photovoltaic Industry Association believes that after many convening of representatives of PV companies to collect opinions, the introduction of this policy fully considers the development status of the industry and corporate demands, and makes a more reasonable adjustment of the PV feed-in tariff policy in 2019, within the objective boundary. Within, the Chinese PV industry will continue to grow and move towards a comprehensive and unsubsidized era.After the introduction of the New Deal, it caused widespread concern. The interpretation of the policy can be summarized as the following 10 points:1, 2019 will no longer have benchmark electricity prices, instead of guiding electricity prices. In the newly built ground power station project in 2019, the open bidding was implemented. The upper limit of the I, II and III resource zones was 0.40 yuan, 0.45 yuan and 0.55 yuan per kWh respectively. According to the latest version of the consultation draft, the bidding rules calculate the revised electricity price and then sort.2. Since the Ministry of Finance has clarified the total subsidy plate of 3 billion yuan in 2019, there will be no serious impact caused by the sudden braking of the industry after the 531 policy was issued last year. There will be 630 this year, mainly for the scale of financial subsidies. However, centralized photovoltaic power plants have not yet been determined for on-grid tariffs.3. Household PV indicators are listed for the first time. The total index size is: 3.5GW+ one month's buffer period installation. The household power station adopts the same electricity price mode whether it is “spontaneous self-use, surplus electricity online” or “full online” mode, namely: 0.18 (power subsidy) + local coal-fired benchmark price.4. The ground power station and the industrial and commercial power station participate in the national bidding, and the price of electricity is the highest value of participating in the bidding price. The bidding price = subsidized electricity price + local coal-fired benchmark price.5. Due to its special nature, the PV poverty alleviation price has not been adjusted, and will be issued at the first time. However, the latest policy is that companies cannot invest in PV power plants.6. The upper limit of the bidding subsidy for industrial and commercial electricity prices is determined to be 0.1 yuan/kWh. The full-scale online industrial and commercial project will participate in bidding with the ground power station, and the subsidy ceiling will be determined to be 0.1 yuan/kWh. Spontaneous self-use, the surplus TV online commercial and industrial projects will participate in the bidding, and the final confirmation of the National Energy Administration.7, 2019 electricity prices will remain unchanged throughout the year, not in accordance with the previously discussed quarterly decline.8. Considering the issue of people's livelihood, the household photovoltaic project that did not receive subsidies in 2018 is expected to receive a subsidy of 0.18 yuan/kWh, but the National Energy Administration needs to be clear.9. Since the electricity price policy is implemented on July 1, 2019, this year's subsidy will also be issued from July 1st. According to the past 20 years of subsidy cycle, the PV power grid connected before 630 is only equivalent to the state subsidy. Taking some time late does not affect too much overall benefit.10. This year's household PV subsidy amount and electricity price policy have been clearly defined, and enterprises can start to deploy projects.Compared with the rush of the 531 policy last year, the introduction of the 2019 PV price policy has also attracted industry attention, but the impact of the policy is relatively mild, and many people in the industry have said that they have already prepared. Before the introduction of this year's policy, the relevant departments have repeatedly convened relevant enterprise representatives, industry experts, and industry leaders to collect opinions and strive to balance the needs of all parties.According to the China Photovoltaic Industry Association, before the PV industry realizes full-price Internet access, it still needs a part of the scale of subsidies. With the support of limited subsidy funds, how to provide both supportive electricity prices and the maintenance of the healthy development of the industry. Scale has always been a problem.After many convening of representatives of PV companies to collect opinions, the policy has fully considered the development status of the industry and corporate demands, and made a more reasonable adjustment of the PV feed-in tariff policy in 2019, which will promote China's PV within the objective boundary. The industry continues to grow and move towards a comprehensive and unsubsidized era.However, although the New Deal has sought the opinions of all parties, the decline in subsidies still poses many challenges for the entire industry. From the current situation, the rate of subsidy decline is faster than the speed of price and cost. Therefore, the industry chain needs to work together to reduce the impact of the rapid decline in subsidy speed.
