On August 1, the State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC)
issued a regulation named Administrative Methods for Power Grid
Companies of Purchasing Entire Amount of Renewable Resources
Generated Electricity, stipulating that all power grid
enterprises should be responsible for purchasing all available
electricity generated from renewable resources and distribute this
kind of electricity in a proper manner, from September 1
onwards.
Previously, under limited circumstances, most renewable energy
sources such as wind, biological mass energy and solar energy had
irregular supplies, posing a conundrum for the operations of power
grid enterprises.
The newly issued methods will ensure that power grid companies
and power contribution organizations bear the full burden of
responsibility for acting on supplying electricity generated from
renewable resources, and should thus refrain from restrictions on
using renewable resources to make power.?
