Dec. 29, 2009 - China amends law to boost renewable energy law
BEIJING, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- China's top legislature adopted Saturday an
amendment to the renewable energy law to require electricity grid companies to
buy all the power produced by renewable energy generators.
The amendment says the State Air Jordan Shoes Council energy department and the state power
regulatory agency should supervise the purchases.
The amendment, approved by lawmakers after it was
heard the second time at a five-day meeting of the National People's Congress
(NPC) Standing Committee, aims to support the country's fledgling renewable
energy sector.
It says the State Council energy department, in
conjunction with the state power regulatory agency and the State Council
finance departments, should "determine the proportion of renewable energy
power generation to the overall generating capacity for a certain period."
Power enterprises refusing to buy power produced
by renewable energy generators will be fined up to an amount double that of the
economic loss of the renewable energy company, it says.
Renewable energy includes non-fossil fuels such as
wind and solar power, hydropower, biomass, geothermal and ocean energy.
Still, two-thirds of China's energy supply is fueled by
coal, and the country has become one of the largest greenhouse gas emitters.
The law, which took effect in January 2006, was
aimed at "optimizing the country's energy structure and safeguarding
energy Air
Jordan
21 security."
It covered subsidies, pricing management and
supervision measures.
"The legislation on improving the consumption
of clean energy contributes to the global fight on climate change," said
Wang Zhongying, director of the renewable energy development center of the
Energy Research Institute under the National Development and Reform Commission.
A national plan on renewable energy development
issued in 2007 set a target to increase renewable resources to supply 15
percent of its total energy consumption by 2020, in a bid to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions and promote sustainable economic growth.
Statistics show renewable resources supplied 9
percent of China's total energy consumption last year, an equivalent of
reducing 600 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.
Last month, the State Council announced that China
was going toreduce the intensity of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP in
2020 by 40 to 45 percent compared with the level of 2005.
Wang said, to achieve the emission reduction
target, it was vital to realize the renewable energy consumption goal.
"The law amendment strengthens the confidence
of achieving the target," he said.
Signaling an official effort to shore up clean
energy development and fight climate change, the law requires the government to
set up a special fund to renewable energy scientific research, finance rural
clean energy projects, build independent power systems in remote areas and
islands, and build information networks to exploit renewable energy.
The fund will be managed by finance, energy and
pricing sectors of the State Council.
Official statistics show that in 2008, China used more hydro and solar power than any
other country and its use of wind power Air Jordan
21 ranked fourth.
However, industry experts estimated that one third
of the country's wind-generated electricity could not be well transmitted to
the grid.
Therefore, the amendment requires grid
companies to "improve transmitting technologies and enhance grid
capability to absorb more power produced by renewable energy generators."
