• New regulations on distributed photovoltaic management released

On January 23, the National Energy Administration issued the “Measures for the Management of Distributed Photovoltaic Power Generation Development and Construction” to standardize the development and construction management of distributed photovoltaic power generation and promote the high-quality development of distributed photovoltaic power generation. It is reported that the National Energy Administration issued the “Interim Measures for the Management of Distributed Photovoltaic Power Generation Projects” in 2013. This policy release is also the first time that new regulations for distributed photovoltaic management have been introduced after 11 years. According to the sorting out of China Photovoltaic Industry Association, the new policy has made adjustments and new requirements in terms of classification, Internet access mode, filing, development and construction of distributed photovoltaics. In terms of classification, distributed photovoltaics are divided into four categories, namely distributed photovoltaics for natural people, distributed photovoltaics for non-natural people, distributed photovoltaics for general industrial and commercial industries, and distributed photovoltaics for large industrial and commercial industries. Corresponding rules and regulations have been formulated for these four different types of distributed photovoltaics. At the same time, power stations under construction that have been filed but have not been put into operation before May 1 this year will be divided into new and old ones and will still be managed in accordance with the original policies. The association said that the introduction of management measures conforms to the development and changes of the distributed industry, and clearly reflects the guiding ideology of the country’s major management departments for the next step of standardized and high-quality development of distributed photovoltaics. As a result, whether development enterprises, electricity companies, power grid companies or farmers and residents have received a clear, clear and programmatic management document that is in line with market conditions.

• Eight departments jointly released the 2024 edition of the “Green Technology Promotion Catalog”

On January 20, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the “Green Technology Promotion Catalog (2024 Edition). The catalog includes 37 energy-saving and carbon-reduction industrial technologies such as large-area cadmium telluride power generation glass for integrated photovoltaic buildings, 21 environmental protection industrial technologies such as comprehensive recycling technology of used lithium-ion batteries, and 20 resource recycling industrial technologies, 17 Energy green and low-carbon transformation technologies, 3 ecological protection restoration and utilization technologies, 12 infrastructure green upgrade technologies, and 2 green service technologies, and the process and technical content of each technology are listed. The main technical parameters and application cases allow all relevant parties to better understand the main principles, path directions, application scenarios and implementation effects of the technology.

• Trump announced on his first day in office that the United States would withdraw from the Paris Agreement

On the afternoon of January 20, Eastern Time, Trump, who had just been sworn in, signed an executive order on the first day of his term, and the United States once again withdrew from the Paris Agreement. Trump also claimed that the Paris Agreement was an unfair scam that diverted American taxpayers ‘money to countries that were not in the interest of the American people. According to BBC reports, according to the terms of the agreement, one year after the United States initiated the withdrawal process, it will be deemed to have formally withdrawn from the agreement and will not be subject to relevant carbon emission reduction, climate finance support and other regulations. In addition, according to a report released by Bloomberg on January 24, the Trump administration has suspended spending, loans and other actions by the U.S. Department of Energy, effectively freezing the agency’s approximately $50 billion budget.

• China’s artificial sun sets a world record of 100 million degrees and 100 seconds

According to a report released by Xinhua Agency on January 20, China’s all-superconducting tokamak Nuclear Fusion Experimental Device (EAST), known as the artificial sun, set a new world record in Hefei, Anhui Province, completing high-quality combustion at 100 million degrees Celsius for the first time, marking a major leap forward in my country’s fusion energy research from basic science to engineering practice, and is of great significance to mankind accelerating the realization of fusion power generation.

• Ningde times、jingke energy、jingao technologyWon a large order for optical storage in the Middle East

On January 19, Ningde Times official Weibo issued a document announcing that it had been successfully selected as the preferred battery energy storage system supplier for the United Arab Emirates RTC, the world’s largest joint solar energy and battery energy storage project. On January 20, Jinko Energy issued a micro-blog document announcing that the company has officially become the preferred component supplier for the RTC project in the United Arab Emirates. On the same day, Jingao Technology, another major photovoltaic leader, also posted a document on the official Weibo, announcing that it would become the preferred component supplier for the project. It is reported that the total investment of the RTC project in the United Arab Emirates exceeds US$6 billion, including a battery energy storage project with a total capacity of 19GWh and a photovoltaic project with a total capacity of 5.2GW. After the project is completed, it will become the world’s first all-weather large-scale power generation project, capable of achieving uninterrupted clean power generation 24 hours a day., providing uninterrupted clean energy to the world’s first AI+ zero-carbon green data center. According to the information released by the current project owner Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company), Ningde Times will exclusively provide 19GWh battery energy storage products for the project, and Jinko Energy and Jinga Technology will each provide 2.6 GW of photovoltaic module products for the project. In addition,Power Construction of Chinaand Indian company Larsen Toubro became the preferred engineering, procurement and construction contractor for the project.

On January 21, the National Energy Administration released statistics on the national power industry in 2024. According to statistics, last year, 429GW of new installed power nationwide were added, and wind power and photovoltaics accounted for more than 80%. Among them, photovoltaic installed capacity was 277GW, a year-on-year increase of 28%, and wind power installed capacity was 79.34 GW, a year-on-year increase of 4.5%. The absolute value of the installed capacity growth of the two major new energy sources has once again hit a record high, but compared with the growth rates of 148% for photovoltaic and 102% for wind power in 2024, there has been a significant decline. However, the replacement of fossil fuels by renewable energy is still an overall trend. According to data released by the China Electricity Council on January 24, as of the end of 2024, the installed capacity of new energy power generation in China, including wind power, solar power and biomass power generation, has reached 1.45 billion kilowatts, exceeding the installed capacity of thermal power for the first time.

• Clean energy use in the EU accounts for nearly half of its total

According to the Paper News report, on January 22, the global energy think tank Ember released a report showing that 47% of the EU’s electricity currently comes from solar energy and other renewable energy sources, a record high. In addition, 24% of the EU’s electricity comes from nuclear energy, allowing nearly three-quarters of the region’s electricity to be produced without emitting greenhouse gases. The report also pointed out that just as U.S. President Trump announced his withdrawal from the Paris Agreement after taking office and supported the United States ‘return to fossil fuels, the EU is still working hard to promote the transformation of clean energy.(This article is launchedtoGuShiio.com Stock Market Smart APP, author|Hu Jiameng, editor|Liu Yangxue）
