Deficit
Renewable fund
To support its feed-in tariff, China levies a surcharge on
electricity end-users, which is then collected into a
renewable energy fund before being redistributed. The
fund is currently insufficient to cover the subsidies and
the deficit is expected to grow in the next five years,
which will lead to more payment delays.
After seeing some improvement, wind curtailment
worsened in 2015. It will worsen further in the next five
years as the pace of wind project development
continues unabated and China’s power demand
weakens. However, curtailment is much worse in some
regions (north and west) than in others (south).

Note: Hours represent full load hours of each province in 2015. Capacity factor can be calculated as full load hours divided
by 8,760 hours. Percentage numbers in the brackets represent average curtailment rate of each province calculated as
[estimated curtailed electricity generation / (actual electricity generation + estimated curtailed electricity generation)]
