3. Scope of Regulation
Regions including Shanxi, Shandong, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Xinjiang, Henan, Yunnan, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Guangdong, and others. Other provinces (regions, municipalities) will have relevant dispatched agencies organize activities based on actual conditions.
4. Regulatory Content
The relevant dispatched agencies have maintained a problem- and goal-oriented approach, implementing targeted regulatory oversight to address prominent issues arising during the development and construction of wind power projects. The focus is on monitoring how local energy authorities, grid companies, and wind power enterprises are fulfilling national plans (including annual construction schemes), industry policies, project approval procedures, grid connection processes, and adherence to construction standards. Key areas of scrutiny include:
(1) Implementation of wind power planning and annual construction plans. This includes whether local energy authorities have followed the annually approved construction plans as outlined in the master plan, and whether there have been any instances of projects being implemented beyond the scope of the approved plans or annual schemes.
(2) Implementation of Wind Power Industry Policies. This includes whether local energy authorities have organized project construction based on the monitoring and early-warning results for wind power investment; whether they have reasonably planned the scale of new projects according to grid integration capacity; whether competitive allocation processes for centralized onshore and offshore wind projects were conducted as required, with schemes that are scientifically sound and procedures that are transparent and fair; whether distributed wind power projects have been implemented in compliance with relevant regulations; and whether there has been any practice of tying other industrial projects to investments or imposing unreasonable fees through cost-sharing mechanisms.
(3) Project Approval and Construction Status. This includes whether local energy authorities have carried out project approval procedures in accordance with relevant national regulations, and whether these procedures were conducted legally and in compliance with requirements. Additionally, it examines whether wind power companies have exceeded the approved construction timeline, whether any "build-first, approve-later" situations occurred, and whether they have promptly entered and updated information—such as project approval details, commencement dates, ongoing progress, and grid connection status—on the National Renewable Energy Power Project Information Management Platform.
(4) Fair Access to the Grid. This includes whether grid companies regularly conduct studies and assessments of their capacity to accommodate renewable energy, develop corresponding integration plans, and publicly disclose available grid capacity on a regular basis; whether they promptly issue grid connection opinions to wind power enterprises as required; whether there have been instances of delayed construction of grid infrastructure projects supporting wind energy connections or failure to repurchase transmission lines built by project developers themselves; whether project grid-connection schedules are reasonably aligned with planning and available capacity; whether wind power companies have been asked to install grid-connected equipment beyond standard requirements or subjected to unjustified fees; and whether wind power forecast accuracy is assessed fairly and objectively.
(5) Implementation of Project Construction Standards. This includes whether wind power companies are carrying out wind farm projects in accordance with relevant national design standards and the requirements specified in approved documents; whether all necessary procedures for project commencement and construction have been completed; and whether there have been any unauthorized changes to the investment entity.
5. Schedule
(1) Launch and Deployment (Before Early August). The National Energy Administration has issued a notice outlining the special regulatory tasks for overseeing wind power development and construction, clearly defining the required actions. Relevant regional agencies will formulate implementation plans tailored to local conditions, initiate and deploy related work within their jurisdictions, and submit reports to the New Energy Division of the National Energy Administration by August 20, 2020.
(II) Self-Inspection and Rectification (by the end of August). Relevant provincial (regional) Development and Reform Commissions (Energy Bureaus), in conjunction with regulatory requirements, will conduct a self-inspection of the implementation of wind power plans and annual development & construction schemes since the 13th Five-Year Plan period in their respective regions, as well as the enforcement of wind power industry policies and the approval/implementation status of individual projects. Additionally, they will organize grid enterprises within their jurisdictions to independently assess the fairness of grid access, while also instructing wind power companies in their areas to review project approvals, construction processes, and adherence to established project construction standards.
The self-inspection report should be completed by the end of August and submitted to the New Energy Division of the National Energy Administration, with a copy sent to the local branch office. Relevant provincial (regional) Development and Reform Commissions (Energy Bureaus), grid companies, and wind power enterprises are required to promptly develop corrective action plans addressing the key issues identified during the self-inspection, and to begin implementing these measures without delay.
(III) On-site Supervision (September–October). Building on self-inspections, relevant dispatched agencies will implement various supervisory approaches tailored to ongoing COVID-19 prevention and control measures. Where appropriate, they may conduct off-site, non-contact supervision. When conditions permit, on-site supervision will be organized using the "double-random, one-public" approach as outlined in the National Energy Administration’s Revised Implementation Plan for Promoting Random Inspections During and After Events (2020), ensuring that supervision efforts remain focused, problem-oriented, free from formalism, and avoid placing additional burdens on grassroots-level staff.
(Four) Prepare a Regulatory Report (November). The dispatched agencies are required to compile a special regulatory report and submit it to the New Energy Division of the National Energy Administration by mid-November. The report should include, but is not limited to: an overview of the current situation, prominent issues identified in wind power development and construction, measures already implemented to address these issues, and recommendations for further strengthening regulatory oversight to ensure orderly development and construction of wind projects. By the end of November, the New Energy Division of the National Energy Administration will consolidate all regional reports into a comprehensive special regulatory report on wind power development and construction in key areas, which will then be released promptly according to established procedures.
