On January 9, 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and four other departments jointly issued the "Guidelines for the Construction and Application of Industrial Green Microgrids (2026–2030)." The document explicitly states: Strengthen cost-benefit analyses of industrial green microgrids, actively encourage social capital to participate in project construction, and continuously optimize investment structures and operational models. Actively explore diversified revenue channels such as ancillary services in the electricity market, green power trading, and electric energy trading, thereby shortening the investment payback period and preventing inefficient and redundant construction.

National Policies and Top News

01 The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and four other departments jointly issued the "Guidelines for the Construction and Application of Industrial Green Microgrids (2026–2030)."

The document clearly states: Industrial green microgrids primarily include facilities or systems such as renewable energy generation, utilization of industrial waste heat, clean and low-carbon hydrogen production and utilization, new energy storage applications, power conversion and flexible interconnection, and digital energy and carbon management.

Regarding new energy storage technologies, the proposal suggests configuring single or multiple types of new energy storage systems based on factors such as system scale, renewable energy consumption capacity, frequency/voltage support requirements, and thermal/cold load regulation needs. Specifically, for renewable energy consumption needs, given typical daily load curves and the output characteristics of renewable energy sources, we can select from among lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries, hydrogen storage, compressed air systems, and other storage technologies to achieve peak-shaving and valley-filling of green electricity and enable cross-time-period utilization. For frequency/voltage support requirements, considering the magnitude of frequency fluctuations and the required duration of support, we can choose lithium-ion batteries, flywheel energy storage, supercapacitors, and other storage technologies to enhance the system’s active and reactive power regulation capabilities, thereby improving power quality and supply reliability. As for thermal/cold load regulation needs, based on the scale, fluctuation characteristics, and adjustment time requirements of thermal and cold loads, we can opt for molten-salt thermal storage or ice-based cold storage systems. Furthermore, we should promote innovative applications of sodium-ion batteries, vanadium-titanium batteries, lithium capacitors, and solar thermal energy storage in industrial green microgrids.

The construction models for industrial green microgrids, based on factors such as the construction entity and operational model, primarily include self-funded and self-built models and third-party co-construction models. At the same time, four types of application scenarios and their corresponding effects have been clearly defined.

In flexible application scenarios for enterprises or industrial parks in sectors such as machinery, light industry, textiles, automotive, and battery manufacturing, industrial green microgrids are required to possess strong capabilities in clean energy generation forecasting, load forecasting, and optimized resource allocation. For example, machinery and automotive companies can rationally deploy interruptible load management platforms and energy storage facilities to address the intermittent power demands of specific processes such as painting, welding, injection molding, and hot pressing. By flexibly adjusting production schedules based on renewable energy generation patterns at different time scales and peak-valley electricity prices, these companies can increase the proportion of renewable energy consumed and reduce their energy costs for production.

In terms of computing power application scenarios, the document proposes that computing infrastructure companies build a multi-level fault-tolerant architecture comprising “main-grid power supply + distributed photovoltaics + electrochemical energy storage + uninterruptible power supply,” enabling seamless, zero-interruption switching of power sources.

02 The website of the National Energy Administration published the Notice from the National Energy Administration on Issuing the "Implementation Rules for the Management of Green Electricity Certificates for Renewable Energy (Trial)."

On January 7, the website of the National Energy Administration published a notice from the National Energy Administration on issuing the "Implementation Rules for the Management of Green Electricity Certificates for Renewable Energy (Trial)."

The notice states: The green certificate issuing authority, relying on the National Green Certificate Issuance and Trading System, issues green certificates monthly based on the amount of renewable energy electricity generated. For every 1,000 kilowatt-hours of renewable energy electricity generated, one green certificate is issued. Any amount of electricity generated in a given month that falls short of the threshold for issuing a full green certificate will be carried over to the following month.

The green certificate issuing authority issues green certificates based on different types of power generation.

(1) Tradable green certificates shall be issued for the electricity generated by renewable energy projects, including wind power, solar power, biomass power, geothermal power, and ocean energy power, as well as for the electricity generated by newly commissioned conventional hydropower units that have fully entered the market starting from January 1, 2023 (inclusive).

(2) Non-tradable green certificates shall be issued for the electricity generated by projects for their own consumption, for off-grid renewable energy generation, and for grid-connected electricity generated by conventional hydropower units commissioned before January 1, 2023 (excluding that date). The commissioning date of conventional hydropower units shall be determined based on the date when the units pass the initial trial operation. For hydropower projects that have both units commissioned before and after January 1, 2023 (excluding that date), such units should be clearly distinguished during the registration and filing process. If the electricity consumed by a project for its own use is not separately metered, the amount shall be calculated as the difference between the project’s total power generation and the amount of electricity fed into the grid.

(3) Green certificates will not be issued for the electricity discharged by standalone energy storage facilities. For renewable energy generation projects equipped with energy storage facilities, separate metering shall be implemented for both the power generation facilities and the energy storage facilities. For renewable energy generation projects that have not yet implemented separate metering at this stage, green certificates will be issued based on the principle of deducting the electricity delivered to the grid from the total electricity generated by the project.

03 New energy storage technologies are included in the investment targets of government investment funds.

On January 12, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments issued a notice on the promulgation of the "Measures for Strengthening the Planning and Guidance of Government Investment Fund Deployment and Investment Directions (Trial)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"). A relevant official from the National Development and Reform Commission stated that this marks the first time at the national level that the deployment and investment directions of government investment funds have been systematically standardized.

Local Policies and Top News

01 The Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Zhejiang Provincial Energy Administration have issued the "Notice on Promoting the Development of Direct Green Electricity Trading."

On January 14, the Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Zhejiang Provincial Energy Administration issued a notice on promoting the development of direct green electricity connections. The notice stated that grid-connected projects should, in accordance with the principle of "sourcing based on load," scientifically determine the types of new energy power sources, installed capacity, and energy storage capacity, and support a model characterized by "primarily self-consumption with surplus power fed into the grid as a supplement." The annual self-consumed electricity from new energy sources in these projects should account for no less than 60% of the total available generation capacity and no less than 30% of the total electricity consumption. Starting from 2030, this proportion for newly added projects should be no less than 35%. The proportion of electricity fed into the grid should not exceed 20% of the total available generation capacity. The target for the utilization rate of new energy in direct green electricity connection projects will be set separately and will not be included in the province-wide statistics on new energy utilization rates.

Encourage grid-connected green power direct-link projects to enhance their flexibility and reduce system regulation pressure by incorporating energy storage within the projects themselves and tapping into the potential for flexible load adjustment.

When required by the power system, the internal power sources and energy storage systems of grid-connected projects shall operate according to dispatch instructions and provide support to the main power grid as emergency power sources.

For grid-connected green power direct-link projects, the project access point shall serve as the reference point for metering and settlement, and the project will settle electricity charges with the public grid as a whole. The project must be equipped with sub-metering capabilities. Grid enterprises shall install metering devices compliant with DL/T 448 “Technical Management Regulations for Electric Energy Metering Devices” at key points—including power generation, plant-use electricity, grid connection, and energy storage—to accurately measure electricity data at each stage.

Centralized photovoltaic projects included in the green electricity direct-connection construction plan shall be deemed to be incorporated into the annual centralized photovoltaic construction plan. New energy storage projects, managed in a manner similar to user-side projects, shall be deemed to be included in the annual construction plans of respective prefectural-level cities. Direct-connection lines and grid connection systems, based on their voltage levels, shall be incorporated into relevant provincial or prefectural-level city plans.

02 The Energy Administration of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region issues the "Implementation Plan for the Development and Construction of Direct Green Electricity Connection Projects for Single Electricity Users in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (Trial)."

On January 14, the Energy Administration of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region issued the "Implementation Plan for the Development and Construction of Direct Green Power Connection Projects for Single Electricity Users in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (Trial)." The plan emphasizes strengthening the matching between power sources and loads, stipulating that the annual self-consumed electricity from new energy sources should account for no less than 30% of the total annual electricity consumption declared for the load [the self-consumed electricity shall be based on the actual electricity consumption corresponding to the load approved (or filed) under the supporting documents for direct green power connection projects, excluding the electricity consumed by associated energy storage charging, discharging, and losses]. Furthermore, the proportion of self-consumption will continue to increase, reaching at least 35% by 2030.

Green electricity direct-connection projects are encouraged to enhance their self-balancing and self-regulating capabilities by configuring energy storage systems and tapping into the potential for flexible load adjustment, thereby minimizing system regulation pressures as much as possible. The project planning scheme should reasonably determine the maximum peak-to-valley load difference for the project, and the peak-to-valley difference in power supplied from the public grid to the project should not exceed the planned value specified in the scheme.

Green electricity direct connection projects shall be equipped with separate metering facilities. Within each business unit—including internal power generation, plant-use electricity, self-generated and self-consumed power, and energy storage—two-way metering devices compliant with relevant standards and approved by the competent authorities must be installed. For plants already equipped with coal- or gas-fired captive power plants within their premises, newly developed new-energy projects and energy-storage units, as well as other business units, shall have separate metering systems distinct from those of the original captive power plant and the original electricity load.

Based on the project conditions, configure adjustment facilities in a reasonably proportioned manner to enhance the system’s flexible regulation capability and meet requirements such as managing peak-valley differences and ensuring power quality. The adjustment facilities shall be constructed by the entities themselves and may not participate in electricity market transactions as independent entities. For green power direct connection projects built with self-owned power plants, the technical roadmap for flexibility upgrades of the self-owned power plants must be clearly defined. For newly built energy storage power stations used for regulation purposes, the site location, technical roadmap, equipment configuration, operational plan, and safety measures of the energy storage power stations must be clearly specified.

03 The Jiangsu Provincial People's Government has issued the "Jiangsu Province 'Artificial Intelligence Plus' Action Plan."

On January 13, the People's Government of Jiangsu Province issued the "Jiangsu Province 'Artificial Intelligence Plus' Action Plan," which explicitly states: Strengthen the use of artificial intelligence to enhance energy conservation and carbon emission management throughout the energy production process, and promote the application of AI in areas such as virtual power plants, new energy storage systems, vehicle-to-grid interaction for electric vehicles, zero-carbon industrial parks, smart grids, oil and gas exploration and extraction, and computing-energy synergy. Accelerate innovation in model algorithms in the “dual-carbon” field and establish city-level “dual-carbon” brains.

04 The Energy Administration of Jiangxi Province has released the "Work Plan for Promoting the High-Quality Development of Virtual Power Plants in Jiangxi Province."

The Jiangxi Provincial Energy Administration has issued a notice on the promulgation of the "Work Plan for Promoting the High-Quality Development of Virtual Power Plants in Jiangxi Province." The plan sets the following targets: By 2027, a number of pilot virtual power plants will be established, and efforts will be made to achieve a provincial-level virtual power plant regulation capacity of over 1 million kilowatts. A basic technical guidance framework covering platform construction, grid connection testing, operational control, and other aspects relevant to the development of virtual power plants will be put in place, and a preliminary electricity market system tailored to virtual power plants will be established. By 2030, the goal is to attain a regulation capacity of over 3 million kilowatts, with more diversified and enriched business models for virtual power plants across the province, and further enhanced capabilities in aggregating and responding to adjustable resources.

It was also mentioned that a batch of pilot virtual power plant projects will be implemented. Following the principles of "pilot first, differentiated development, and gradual promotion," we will organize and carry out pilot project applications. We encourage market players to make full use of existing systems and platforms—such as electricity sales companies, vehicle-to-grid interaction, and integrated energy management—to enhance capabilities in resource exploration, demand analysis, and resource aggregation. This will enable them to pursue differentiated approaches in virtual power plant development and explore predictable and sustainable commercial operation models. A regular tracking and evaluation mechanism will be established for these pilots to address and coordinate solutions to challenges encountered during the development of virtual power plants. Once the business models have matured and market mechanisms have been refined, market operators will undertake the construction and operation of virtual power plants in a routine and autonomous manner.

Continuously improve the development system and mechanisms for virtual power plants. Prepare a series of supporting regulatory documents to foster the development of virtual power plants, constantly refine market rules to better suit the needs of virtual power plant development, gradually relax constraints on high proportions of medium- and long-term electricity volumes for virtual power plants, and encourage virtual power plants to actively participate in spot and emergency regulation markets. Carry out the construction and operation & maintenance of virtual power plant operation and management platforms, and, in light of the regulatory boundaries governing virtual power plant participation in demand response and electricity markets, provide guidance on virtual power plant scheme evaluation, unified access, capability verification, and dispatch operations. The Power Exchange Center is responsible for tasks including virtual power plant market registration, transaction organization, transaction reporting, market settlement, information disclosure, and delisting. Encourage virtual power plants to actively engage in and deeply integrate with sectors such as energy-saving services, energy-carbon management, and green electricity trading, continuously fostering new models for virtual power plant development.

05 The Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission and three other departments have issued the "Notice on Organizing the Competitive Allocation of the First Batch of Existing Ground-mounted Centralized Photovoltaic Power Stations."

On January 9, four departments including the Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued the "Guidelines on Organizing the Competitive Allocation of the First Batch of Existing Ground-mounted Centralized Photovoltaic Power Stations," which explicitly stipulates: Projects will be ranked according to their scores from highest to lowest, and those with a total capacity not exceeding 1.5 million kilowatts will be included in the development and construction list for existing ground-mounted centralized photovoltaic power stations. The materials submitted by project applicants shall include a letter of commitment regarding the maximum proportion of electricity output to be allocated to medium- and long-term markets, a letter of commitment to install energy storage systems, and a self-assessment form for competitive allocation. Grid enterprises will verify and confirm that the project entities have fulfilled their commitments to install energy storage systems. For projects that fail to install energy storage as committed, grid companies will refuse to connect them to the grid, refrain from scheduling their power generation, and decline to purchase their electricity output.

In the competitive allocation scoring rules, the total score is 100 points and consists of a score based on the proportion of funds already paid and a score reflecting the comprehensive benefit assessment. The comprehensive benefit assessment has a maximum score of 40 points and is composed of two components: reducing the proportion of electricity volume participating in medium- and long-term markets, and encouraging the allocation of energy storage. If the combined score of these two components exceeds 40 points, it will be capped at 40 points.

Regarding the reduction of the proportion of electricity participation in medium- and long-term markets, the project entity commits to reducing the proportion of electricity participating in medium- and long-term markets relative to total grid-connected electricity generation by up to 100%. For each 1% reduction beyond the base level of 100%, 0.4 points will be awarded, with a maximum score of 40 points for this item.

Encourage the installation of energy storage systems. Project entities are encouraged to voluntarily install energy storage systems. For each 1% increase in the proportion of energy storage capacity relative to the one-hour rated grid-connected power output of a photovoltaic power project, 0.25 points will be awarded; the maximum score for this item is 10 points.
