State news service: China has already connected 870 MW of this year’s subsidized PV projects
China News Service this morning reported 870 MW of the 22.79 GW of solar power generation capacity allocated in the nation’s first public auction for subsidized PV projects has already been connected to the grid.
The English language website of the state-owned media outlet quoted National Energy Administration (NEA) official Li Chuangjun in an article in which the employee pledged the agency would be better prepared for next year’s tender.
Developers of subsidized projects are racing to get facilities connected by the end of the year to receive the full electricity tariff payment they bid in the auction. Under the terms of the procurement, any projects missing the December 31 deadline will see their tariff reduce by RMB0.01/kWh ($0.0015) per quarter until the end of June, after which subsidies will be removed entirely.
Subsidy surplus
The China News Service report claimed the total cost of subsidies for the allocated projects would be RMB1.7 billion ($247 million) – RMB550 million less than the RMB2.25 billion put aside by the NEA to subsidize large-scale ground-mount projects in this year’s budget.
Announcing the results of the auction earlier this month, Chinese analyst the Asia Europe Clean Energy (Solar) Advisory (AECEA) quoted NEA figures to report 417 projects with a combined generation capacity of 1.77 GW which had been pre-selected to participate in the exercise had missed out on subsidies.
The AECEA has predicted 38-42 GW of new solar capacity will be added in China this year. Quasi-governmental industry body the China Photovoltaic Industry Association last week announced a more confident forecast of 40-45 GW for 2019.

China's Power Batteries Production & Installed Capacity Decline in January
China's production and also mounted capacity of power batteries fell on a month-to-month as well as annual basis for the first time in January as new power vehicle sales slowed. The nation produced concerning 28.2 GWh of power batteries last month, a 5 per cent year-on-year decrease and regarding 46 percent lower than in December, according to a recent report from the China Automotive Battery Innovative Alliance. The Installed capacity of the month likewise slid by 0.3 per cent from the very same period last year and also 55 percent the previous month to 16.1 GWh.
After 13 years of incentivising the industry, the Chinese federal government discontinued the subsidies for clean power vehicles by the end of 2022 which affected China's NEV sector just recently. According to figures from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the country produced 425,000 units and also sold 408,000 last month, down 6.9 per cent and 6.3 per cent, specifically, from a year earlier.
The current depression comes against the rapid growth the power battery industry clocked last year. According to CABIA numbers, the battery output rose 149 percent to 545.9 GWh in 2022 from the previous year, as the mounted capacity leapt 91 percent to 294.6 GWh.
By mounted capacity, the battery huge Contemporary Amperex Modern technology continued its touch of leading the marketplace with 7.2 GWh in January and had a market share of 44 per cent. Nonetheless, BYD seems to be catching up as the CATL's lead over the second-ranked BYD is tightening. BYD saw its market share rise to 34 percent from 20.9 percent in the same month last year.
The yearly growth projection is additionally expected to come down this year. About 9 million NEVs are anticipated to be marketed in China this year, a 30 per cent boost from 2022. Comparatively, the annual growth rate was greater for 2022, which clocked a yearly development of 93 percent over 2021 numbers, according to the CAAM.

China's Solar Giants: Prices Near Bottom, Production Rises
China's solar panel giants, Jinko and Trina, believe that prices for solar panels have hit rock bottom and are unlikely to fall further. The current slump in prices is seen as "irrational" by Jinko Solar Co. Chairman Li Xiande, who stated that there is only a small probability that it will continue. The oversupply of solar panels in the market has led to record low prices and squeezed profit margins for manufacturers.Despite the challenges, Jinko is optimistic about a rebound in global demand for solar panels, expecting a 20% increase this year. The company has already ramped up production in the second quarter and is operating its most advanced production lines at high rates. Trina Chairman Gao Jifan also noted that there is limited room for further decline in solar module prices. China, the world's largest solar market, is facing grid constraints that may impact new installations, with March installations down 32% from the previous year.
