    Data released by the National Energy Administration on May 4 showed that the country's photovoltaic power generation maintained rapid growth in the first quarter, with new installed capacity reaching 7.
    21 million kilowatts
    .
    Among them, the installed capacity of centralized photovoltaic power plants was 4.
    78 million kilowatts, down 23% year-on-year; Distributed photovoltaics added 2.
    43 million kilowatts of new installed capacity, a year-on-year increase of 151%.

    The newly installed capacity shows the trend of slowing down centralized photovoltaic power plants and accelerating distributed photovoltaic power generation
    .
    Experts said that with the continuous advancement of photovoltaic technology and the continuous improvement of conversion efficiency, distributed will become the focus of the development of the photovoltaic industry under the background of the sharp reduction of
    photovoltaic subsidies, the sharp reduction of the benchmark electricity price of photovoltaic power plants, and the short-term difficulty in solving the phenomenon of "abandoning light".

    Due to limited rooftop resources, difficult project financing, and difficult policy support, the installed capacity of distributed photovoltaics in the past few years has been much lower than expected
    .
    The data shows that in 2014, the planned photovoltaic installed capacity was 14 million kilowatts, distributed as 8 million kilowatts, and finally the actual distributed installed capacity was 2.
    05 million kilowatts, only 26%
    of the planned target was completed.
    In 2015, the new photovoltaic installation target proposed by the National Energy Administration no longer limits the specific scale of ground photovoltaic power plants and distributed photovoltaic power plants, but the distributed installed capacity is less than 10%
    of the total amount.

    Since last year, the development of distributed photovoltaic power generation installed capacity has accelerated, with a new installed capacity of 4.
    24 million kilowatts
    throughout the year.
    "Investors are turning their attention to distributed not only because of the severe phenomenon of light abandonment in centralized power stations, but also because distribution is an inevitable trend
    in the development of photovoltaic power generation.
    " Yang Liyou, general manager of Jinneng Technology, analyzed that distributed is close to the user side, which can improve the utilization rate of solar energy in large power consumption areas, and the form of spontaneous self-consumption of surplus electricity on the Internet is in line with the characteristics of
    solar energy itself distribution.

    According to industry insiders, electricity prices are the direct cause
    of the rapid growth of distribution.
    According to the notice of the National Development and Reform Commission, from January 1 this year, the benchmark on-grid electricity price of new photovoltaic power plants in China's first to third resource areas was adjusted to 0.
    65 yuan, 0.
    75 yuan and 0.
    85 yuan per kWh respectively, which was 0.
    15 yuan, 0.
    13 yuan and 0.
    13 yuan lower than in 2016, and distributed photovoltaic projects still maintained a price
    of 0.
    42 yuan per kWh.

    From the perspective of the distribution of photovoltaic power generation installations, in the first quarter, the scenery of the "three north" region was no longer beautiful, and the central and eastern regions became the main growth areas in the country, with a new installed capacity of 6.
    39 million kilowatts, accounting for 89%
    of the country's new installed capacity.
    Among them, distributed photovoltaics have become the driving force for growth, and its installed capacity is mainly concentrated in 4 provinces
    : Zhejiang, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu.

    "The shift of PV projects from the northwest region with better resources to the central and eastern regions shows that grid consumption and policy environment have become more important factors
    influencing investment decisions.
    " The above-mentioned industry insiders said
    .

    The "13th Five-Year Plan for Power Development" jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration proposed that by 2020, China's solar energy development target will be more than 110 million kilowatts, of which 45 million kilowatts will be photovoltaic power plants and 60 million kilowatts
    of distributed photovoltaics.

    "Distributed is an inevitable trend
    in the global energy revolution.
    " He Yisha, chairman of Liansheng New Energy, said that the advent of the distributed era will have a subversive impact
    on the business layout and market structure of new energy enterprises.
    First, business forms, market opportunities, financing channels, etc.
    will be more diversified and fragmented, and secondly, the role of the government in the development of new energy will undergo major changes, from policy leaders and resource allocators to market supervisors and supporting service providers
    .
    In addition, the distributed power trading structure will further promote the reform of the entire power trading market, and realize the value return
    of new energy power stations through contract energy management, bidding for the Internet, direct power supply and other forms.

    Although the photovoltaic industry has ushered in new growth points, the problem of "abandoning light" is still worth being vigilant about
    .
    Data show that photovoltaic power generation in the first quarter was 21.
    4 billion kWh
    .
    The national curtailment of light curtailment is about 2.
    3 billion kWh, and the curtailment rate of Ningxia and Gansu has dropped significantly, 10% and 19% respectively, down about 10 and 20 percentage points respectively from the same period last year; The curtailment rate of Qinghai, Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia provinces (regions) increased, 9%, 11% and 8% respectively.
    The abandonment rate in Xinjiang (including the XPCC) is still as high as 39%.

    21 million kilowatts
