Core Viewpoint - The large-scale cancellation of renewable energy projects is primarily attributed to tightened policies and regulatory measures in the industry [1][6][9]. Summary by Sections Project Cancellations - Multiple provinces in China, including Shanxi, Ningxia, Shaanxi, and Fujian, have announced the cancellation of numerous renewable energy projects due to non-compliance with new regulatory requirements [1][2][4][5]. - For instance, Shanxi's recent announcement included the cancellation of 14 projects totaling over 590,000 kilowatts [1]. - In Fujian, 10 solar projects were canceled, amounting to a total capacity of 114.3 megawatts, involving major energy companies [5]. Policy Changes - The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration have implemented stricter policies regarding project approvals and timelines, requiring projects to be completed by specific deadlines or face cancellation [2][6]. - The "136 Document" introduced a market-driven pricing mechanism for renewable energy, shifting from guaranteed pricing to market-based pricing, which has altered investment dynamics in the sector [6][7]. Economic Viability - The decline in expected returns due to changing electricity pricing has made many projects economically unfeasible, leading companies to halt or cancel projects [7][8]. - Major companies like China Power Construction and State Power Investment Corporation have announced project terminations due to these economic pressures [7]. Industry Challenges - The rapid expansion of the renewable energy sector has led to issues such as blind expansion and project "occupying" without actual development, resulting in resource wastage [9][10]. - The industry faces significant pressure from the integration of large-scale renewable energy into the grid, necessitating a restructuring and optimization of project management [11].
