Executive summary:
(1) Market situation of Asian renewable energy
The overall development of renewable energy in Asia, with the resources mainly distributed in the
countries of East Asia, South-eastern Asia and South Asia (including China, Japan, India, Korea,

Taiwan, Indonesia and Thailand, etc..), is in the initial stage.
The low level of technically exploitable capability for renewable energy resources has resulted in high
development costs thereby restricting rapid growth of the installed and power generation capacity in
Asia.
By 2008, Asia’s total capacity of power generation and heating from renewable energies has reached
more than XXX GW and the output of biofuel has exceeded XXX billion liters per year.
(2) Roles of policies and incentives for renewable energy development
In Asian countries, even all over the world, development costs of all kinds of renewable energies,
except hydropower, are higher than that of conventional energies. Therefore, the renewable energy
development in Asia can not be driven by market mechanism entirely and thus depends on
government’s planning, guidance and supports, which pushes the policies and incentives to play a key
role in development of renewable energy industry.
(3) Asian renewable energy policy system
In the past 30 years, the renewable energy policies in Asia have experienced obvious changes. In
early1980s, the governments had started to focus on R&D and demonstration of renewable energies,
and then initiated the supports to renewable energy development through market allocation later. In
the 1990s, the governments started to take the measures of price guarantee, investment incentives
and tax preferences, etc.
At the beginning of 2000s, various Asian countries obviously accelerated the formulation and
issuance of renewable energy policies and incentives. With these policies, ambitious targets for
various renewable energies have been set and some encouragements have been advocated, mainly
in the use of power generation technologies of renewable energies, solar water heating technologies,
biofuel and purchase of green energies.
With continuous release and adjustments of policies and incentives, the Asian countries have
established their independent policy system related to renewable energy development.
Character of CCM' Report:
The aim of this report is to provide powerful assistance to the strategy group and the management
team in making correct decision as how to penetrate the ever-increasing China market and how to
catch the maximum commercial opportunities. The report is formulated independently by CCM’s
professional market researchers, based on the first-hand and primary data which are analyzed by
scientific methodology, confirmed with both manufacturers/end users/traders and legal authorities, and
presented in a logic way.

The booming market of European renewable energy industry depends on the promotion of policies
and incentives by various countries. The release of policies and incentives by some Asian
countries actually are based on the experiences of European countries, especially Germany who
is the most successful developer of renewable energy in the world.
But there are some disparity between Europe and Asia in renewable energy policies and
incentives, shown as follows.
Many European countries have given priority to renewable energy development through
issuing national policies and extending legal supports, but there are few Asian countries
having attached sufficient importance to renewable energy development, except China who
has obtained remarkable achievements on it.
Many European countries have determined long-term planning and objectives and greatly
support technology development and equipment manufacturing of renewable energies.
However, many Asian countries’ policy supports are discontiguous and the investments in
technology development and innovation are significantly inadequate.
Although most Asian countries have implemented policies of fiscal supports and tax
preferences, European countries generally have a more transparent and clearer execution
mechanism for their policies.
Many European countries have established investments and financing mechanism that is
advanced in security for renewable energy development.
Renewable energy pricing mechanism of European countries is more perfect than that of
Asian countries.
European countries are more active in promotion of CDM and international cooperation.

Renewables utilization plan in rural areas by 2010
The plan focuses on:
- Active promotion of biogas utilization in rural households;
1. Acceleration of renewable power construction in areas without electricity;
2. Promotion of solid biomass fuel technologies
Other renewable policies and incentives
Low-interest loan
Most renewable energy enterprises have their own financing channels from the state-owned
banks with low interest rate. In addition, they can also get low-interest loans from some national
funds, such as China Sovereignty Fortune Fund with fund scale of USD300 billion.

7. Focus on wind power and solar energy
China is preparing for the issuance of Revitalization Planning of New Energy (RPNE), aiming to
adjust development objectives for wind power, solar energy, hydropower, bioenergy and nuclear
power.

As can be seen from the above table, China will focus on the development of wind power and solar
energy in the future 10 years and also increase the supporting policies and incentives accordingly.
Intensifying implementation of policies
Chinese government will enhance policy implementation intensity in order to expand effectiveness
of renewable energy policies and incentives in the future years, which needs to improve the
dissemination and supervision of the policies.
III India’s renewable energy policy analysis
III-1 Major policies and incentives
Integrated energy policy
India’s Integrated Energy Policy finally received Cabinet approval in late December 2008 after
5-year preparation. The report from the expert committee that was set up to define integrated
energy policy was available in 2006 but it was only a press release of the 2008 version.
This Integrated Energy Policy especially places emphasize on energy saving, utilization efficiency
and increasing exploration of renewable energies. Indian government intends to make it a plan to
strengthen climate protection so as to promote sustainable development of energy and ensure
energy security.
The new energy policy determines the energy price and resource distribution according to market
situation, which is aimed at enhancing Taiwan’s energy market competitiveness. The Planning
Commission has worked out an effective program to develop domestic energy resources. The
establishment of an oversight committee under the cabinet secretary is to supervise the
implementation of the renewable energy development plan.
The Integrated Energy Policy is characterized by involving all desirable elements of an
enlightened policy, including shift to full cost pricing; establishing a consistent tax structure across
each energy sector; public sector autonomy, competitive operation and fixed subsidies.
The integrated energy strategy for the country would imply, at various levels, an integrated
approach to the entire sector: consistent data collection and compilation; for defining both the
short and long-term energy demand scenarios; for understanding the linkages between
development choices in other sectors of the economy (e.g. urbanization, transport and agriculture)
and the energy sector; for pricing energy resources in a consistent manner as well as for ensuring
consistency in the regulatory frameworks.
