With the impending post-subsidy era, the Chinese government has initiated significant reductions in household photovoltaic (PV) subsidies. This policy change may have negative implications, such as the emergence of the "solar rush" phenomenon.
Effective August 1, 2021, China will stop subsidizing new solar farm projects, distributed solar projects for commercial users, and onshore wind farms. For years, China had been generous towards wind and solar projects.
The announcement of subsidy phase-out led to a larger energy “rebound effect”. They adjusted electricity usage patterns to maximize revenue from solar electricity. With the impending post-subsidy era, the Chinese government has initiated significant reductions in household photovoltaic (PV) subsidies.
The motivation behind the cut was that China wanted to ensure the local solar industry was economically sustainable over the long term. However, more recently, China’s finance ministry committed to granting 57 percent more subsidies to solar power projects this year, but cut subsidies for wind power.
In December 2017, the Chinese government announced a reduction of 0.05 RMB/kWh in the subsidy for each kilowatt-hour of PV power generated (referred to as the production subsidy). This resulted in a significant decrease in the production subsidy, from 0.42 RMB/kWh in 2017 to 0.37 RMB/kWh in 2018.
Since 2018, households that choose to adopt solar panels receive a subsidy of only 0.37 RMB/kWh for each kilowatt-hour of PV power generated. The electricity price for residents in Tianjin is 0.49 RMB/kWh. The reduced subsidy of 0.05 RMB/kWh accounts for nearly 10% of the electricity price, indicating a substantial reduction in the subsidy.
