China's distributed energy policies: evolution, instruments and recommendation / Zhang, Lei   Journal Article
Zhang, Lei Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Distributed energy (DE) is a way to cascade energy use near multiple users. It significantly impacts energy savings, emission reductions and energy structure upgrades. In recent years, all levels of the Chinese government have strived to introduce policies favorable to the implementation of DE. These policies have been affected by the timing of the introduction, regional economic differences, the degree of government attention, and many other complex factors. To clarify the development and links between these policies, this study summarizes and compares China's DE policies at national, provincial, and municipal levels, from 1989 to 2016. We analyze the scope and content of subsidies in detail, and then provide policy recommendations for DE development in China. The main results are as follows: (1) DE policies emerge from legal provisions in the areas of energy, electricity, and environmental protection. The policies have gradually evolved from macro-plans to specific guidance. (2) The demand for DE subsidies is increasing, making the back slope of subsidies significant under an insufficient government budget. Diverse subsidies are needed to address this contradiction. (3) Future policies should focus on comprehensive DE utilization, smart grids, research and development (R&D), and developing policy synergies at different levels.

Kong, Yuan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Since reform and opening up, energy policy has been effectively used by the Chinese government for managing its energy market. In order to reveal how China manages its energy market, this study collected more than two thousand policy documents promulgated by Chinese government in the past 40 years, i.e., 1978–2018, through data mining. The evolution and structure of China's energy policy intensity, policy tools, and policy targets in the past 40 years were analyzed. The results show that: (1) from 1978 to 2018, China's policy-making departments are gradually strengthening their management of the nation's energy market and the coordination between them has been significantly enhanced. As an effective measure for managing energy market, laws did not get enough attentions it deserves from policy-making departments; (2) it seems that China likes to influence the operation of its energy market by implementing indirect guidance policies, which did not directly affect industrial supply and demand. With the continuous promotion of supply-side structural reform, policies focusing on supply guarantee are growing; (3) the target of China's energy policies used to be the promotion of the industrialization of its energy industry. Nowadays, more attentions are paid to promote high-quality growth by encouraging research and development.
