The problem of photovoltaic ground power plant subsidy arrears has been going on for some time, and people with insight in the photovoltaic industry have proposed solutions. Golden Tea International Photovoltaic Research Institute has proposed a thorough solution to the problem from the perspective of repositioning the functions of relevant national departments, starting from the subsidy issuance process.
The default of state subsidies for surface photovoltaic power stations has become a negative factor affecting the healthy development of the photovoltaic industry, and the investment decision-making mode used by most enterprises investing in surface power stations has been tested. This serious situation will be faced with an outbreak of contradictions in 2018, according to the sources, Jiangsu New Energy Association plans to write a report to Premier Li Keqiang, asking relevant government departments to solve the problem of timely payment of subsidies as soon as possible.
As soon as possible, the state subsidies will be treated as receivables in the corporate financial reports. After the actual photovoltaic power station is put into operation, there will be problems in returning the loan interest to financial institutions based on the benchmark electricity price income, and the loan principal will also have to raise additional funds to return. This situation is not to mention private enterprises, even general central enterprises can not bear it. The first two years of the limelight to photovoltaic power station acquisition operation mode of the United Photovoltaic also retired, the company changed its name to Panda Photovoltaic.
It is generally believed in the industry that the national new energy subsidies are insufficient. Golden Tea International Photovoltaic Research Institute believes through investigation that the reason why China's photovoltaic power station subsidies are not issued in time is mainly caused by the operation defects of the new energy subsidy issuance process of relevant national departments.
Current subsidy distribution process
The National Energy Administration shall make a balanced annual plan for the construction of photovoltaic power stations in each province according to the reports submitted by each province. The start-up construction and construction operation of the power stations shall be reported in the National Renewable Energy Information Center (managed by the General Institute of Hydropower) as one of the basis for receiving subsidies.
State Grid Corporation and national recognized regional power grid companies (China Southern Power Grid and some local regional power grid companies) shall declare the state subsidized electricity rate of photovoltaic power stations to the Ministry of Finance on a quarterly basis, and the enterprises shall declare to the State Grid. The internal process of the State Grid goes through one quarter, the State Grid shall declare to the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Finance shall review the report for one quarter, and one quarter after it is included in the financial allocation plan. After the funds arrive at the State Grid in another quarter, the enterprise does not go wrong in any process when it comes to the New Year. The subsidy is in place for two years, and three years is the normal operation time of receiving subsidies when it comes to the New Year.
The Ministry of Finance has not approved the renewable energy system of the National Energy Administration, although the Energy Administration stressed that the failure to provide information will affect the distribution of subsidies, and the electricity bill settlement of the State Grid Company can not actually see the connection with the renewable energy information system. In China's administrative system, the three units enjoy ministerial administrative treatment.
At present, the new energy subsidy distribution process is as follows: the National Energy Administration is in charge of giving birth and feeding the children, while the State Grid Corporation is in charge of feeding the children. However, the Ministry of Finance needs to provide the milk powder. The milk powder is the new energy fund authorized by the State Grid Corporation that every common person pays in the electricity fee, and the money is first deposited in the account of the State Grid Corporation.
Subsidize default solutions to the problem
The National Energy Administration, the Ministry of Finance and the State Grid Corporation are all state-recognized policy implementation agencies. Since the State authorized the Energy Administration to approve the photovoltaic power station project, all the children in the indicator are the children of the state. The Ministry of Finance should authorize the State Grid Corporation to remit the state subsidy to the enterprise account according to the electricity quantity every month after the photovoltaic power station in the indicator is completed. Directly hedge with the new energy subsidy fund imposed, the Ministry of Finance will be transferred to the role of post-regulatory review and financial support for State Grid enterprises in case of short-term capital turnover difficulties. If the total amount of subsidy funds is indeed insufficient, the Ministry of Finance will first allocate it to the special account of State Grid Corporation to solve the problem.
In fact, at present, the overall national fund is loose, and the international support for green energy is insufficient as the public has been rumored (I have never seen the financial department release the data on this aspect), the Ministry of Finance will take action to issue green bonds to the international and domestic, the annual interest rate is not more than 3%, 100 billion yuan of funds can be paid in one month, mainly depending on the work momentum of the Ministry of Finance.
Welcome message
The Golden Tea International Photovoltaic Research Institute found gratifying phenomena in the investigation: Guangdong Province, managed by China Southern Power Grid, under the leadership of Zhao Jianguo, former chairman of China Southern Power Grid and now chairman of China Huadian Group, not only receives the rooftop distributed photovoltaic state subsidy on time every month, but also receives the ground power station state subsidy on behalf of China Southern Power Grid in the month when the power station is put into operation. When the author saw the monthly electricity bill settlement of the six ground power stations, Got a fright.
China Southern Power Grid is also a ministerial-level power enterprise. The practice of China Southern Power Grid shows that: The solution of default of national photovoltaic subsidies proposed by Golden Tea International Photovoltaic Research Institute is feasible. As the main force of new energy development, photovoltaic power station holding enterprises only need to know that the national subsidies will be paid to their business accounts every month, just like electricity bills. After the power station is put into operation, there is only one mother-in-law -- the power grid company. There is no need to know the inner workings of ministries.
However, in terms of China's national conditions, coordination at or above the level of the vice premier of The State Council is needed to solve the subsidy payment process nationwide, because the National Energy Administration, the Ministry of Finance and the State Grid Corporation are all level units, and the redetermination of the functional leadership of each department needs to be made at a higher level. The core problem has been found, and things are easy to solve. At present, photovoltaic enterprise subsidies have been delayed for a long time, which affects the healthy development of photovoltaic industry and the national integrity, and national leaders may not understand. This paper also provides Jiangsu New Energy Association to reflect the situation to Premier Li Keqiang for reference.
Solving the problem of photovoltaic power plant subsidy arrears is to safeguard the integrity and dignity of the country, and the new energy enterprises and organizations involved are obliged to cooperate.
