Because China is of a large amount of the installed solar capacity, the existing large-scale solar energy curtailment problem have greatly affected the development of the solar power industry (e.g. the investors' profits) and the long-term development of the China's clean energy policy.
These issues occur specifically in Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang and Ningxia. According to the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), solar energy curtailment is defined as the wasted potential of power plants producing energy.
In the year of 2017, the quantity of the solar energy curtailment was 7300 GW h in China and the rate of solar energy curtailment was about 6% . The quantity of solar energy rejection in the northwest reaches 6670 GW h , accounting for 91.4% of the total quantity of solar energy curtailment .
As China has the world's largest installed capacity of solar energy, the development of the solar power generation in China will have a profound impact on the healthy development of the global solar power industry. Based on the China's experience, the following suggestions are given for the other countries:
The problem in the northwest of China is serious, especially in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Gansu province. The government has released a series of the policies and regulations to solve the solar energy curtailment.
Wind energy already has an established capacity base, in part catalyzed by the European Union’s clean development mechanism. Solar energy project development in China is still in its primary growth phase. The year 2012 marks the first year of China’s strong scale-up of solar energy capacity.
