Fujian seeks feedback on renewable power tariff reform

The Fujian Provincial Development and Reform Commission is soliciting public comments on its reform proposal for renewable power grid tariffs. According to the draft, starting January 1, 2026, all centralized and distributed wind and solar projects in the province will participate in market trading, with prices formed competitively.

The plan also includes a ‘renewable sustainable development settlement mechanism’, where existing projects (commissioned before June 2025) will adopt differential settlement based on the coal benchmark price of RMB 0.3932/kWh ($0.055/kWh), while new projects will determine tariffs via competitive bidding, with terms varying by project type. The document specifies that retail electricity prices for residential and agricultural users will not be affected by the reform.

Earlier this week, Guangdong province rolled out its market-based reform plan for renewable power pricing (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
