Britain’s Share of Renewable Energy Hit a Record 31.7% in the Second Quarter.

Market:

According to UK government data, the share of electricity generated by renewables reached a record 31.7 per cent in the second quarter of 2018, up from 30.6 per cent in the same quarter of 2017, as a result of increased capacity and lower overall generation.
While up 3 per cent year on year to 24.3 TWH, renewable power generation was 14 per cent below the previous quarter’s record of 28.2 TWH.Onshore wind power fell 12 per cent year on year to 5.5 terawatt hours, while offshore wind power rose 19 per cent to 4.8 terawatt hours, but was still 40 per cent lower on stronger winds than in the previous quarter.Solar power output rose 0.9% to 4.6 terawatt-hours;Electricity generation from bioenergy rose 8.8 per cent to 8.5 terawatt-hours.

Shanxi revises comprehensive energy plan: installed photovoltaic capacity of 10GW in 2020.

According to the planning objectives:

By 2020, the province’s total primary energy production will reach about 800 million tons of standard coal, and the coal output will basically remain at about 900 million tons.The installed power capacity of the province is about 11 million kilowatts, and the installed capacity of new energy accounts for about 35% of the total installed power capacity of the province.We will strive to produce 20 billion cubic meters of coal-bed methane and export 6 billion cubic meters.

By 2020, the province’s total energy consumption will be limited to 224 million tCE.The proportion of coal in primary energy consumption dropped to 80 percent, down 7 percentage points from 2015, leading the country in terms of the decline.Non-fossil energy accounted for more than 5%.

By 2020, energy consumption per unit of gross domestic product will be 16% lower than that in 2015, and strive to reach 18%, a reduction of 1-3 percentage points higher than the national average.The washing rate of raw coal has reached above 80%.

By 2020, carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP will be reduced by 40-45% from 2005 levels, and carbon dioxide emissions per unit of power supply by large power generation groups will be limited to no more than 550 grams per kilowatt hour, reaching the national average.

Total emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and soot in the energy sector shall be controlled within the limits set by the State.The comprehensive utilization rate of mine water reaches 90% and that of coal gangue and fly ash reaches 70%.

Shanghai Distributed photovoltaic subsidy: the maximum amount can be 0.55 yuan/KWh if approved.

At the end of August, a media exclusively learned that in order to cope with the impact of the 531 new policy on the local photovoltaic industry, Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission made a series of adjustments and arrangements for the work related to the local photovoltaic subsidy policy in the second half of the year.

Recently, in view of “if cannot enter the national subsidy catalogue, then also cannot get Shanghai subsidy” this point, The Shanghai Development and Reform Commission has made great progress through the consultation, only need to fill in “to include the scale application form”, after obtaining the approval can obtain The Shanghai municipal subsidy!

According to the main nature of the project, distributed pv users are 0.25 yuan/KWH for industrial and commercial users, 0.4 yuan/KWH for individuals and nursing homes and other users enjoying preferential electricity price, and 0.55 yuan/KWH for school users, with continuous compensation for five years.
