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.
Last year, China expanded its solar fleet by 55%. The momentum continued through the first two months of 2024, but in March new solar build fell 32% year-on-year to the lowest level in 16 months, official data and Reuters calculations show.
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.
China's rapid solar rollout has put it on track to meet its renewable goals years ahead of schedule, with installed solar capacity of 655 gigawatts (GW) as of March, the most in the world by far, well ahead of second-placed United States with upwards of 179 GW at the end of 2023. But forecasts for the solar rollout this year vary sharply.
BEIJING, May 22 (Reuters) - China's breakneck build-out of solar power, fuelled by rock-bottom equipment prices and policy support, is slowing as grid bottlenecks pile up, market reforms increase uncertainty for generators, and the best rooftop space runs short. Last year, China expanded its solar fleet by 55%.
For this year, analysts expect China to add 500-600 GW of PV module production capacity, a 60-70% increase, well above growth in solar projects. That would force manufacturers to export even more to markets such as Europe and the U.S., which doubled tariffs on cells used to make solar panels from 25% to 50%.

China''s central government will halt subsidies for some types of renewables, including new onshore wind projects, concentrated solar photovoltaic power plants and distributed solar photovoltaic projects for commercial use, effective Aug. 1, the National Development and Reform Commission said June 11.
Its main project has begun commissioning and will be put into operation by the end of this year, according to the China Three Gorges Corporation. The solar thermal energy storage power station can generate electricity with or without direct sunlight, thanks to the heliostats and the molten salt, while achieving stable all-day power output.
China will end the subsidies for new centralized photovoltaic stations, distributed photovoltaic projects and onshore wind power projects from the central government budget in 2021 and achieve grid parity, according to the country''s top economic planner on June 10.
