Two departments: the newly generated electricity from new energy projects is not included in the new energy sustainable development price settlement mechanism.

The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration have issued a notice on improving the price mechanism to promote the integration of new energy generation into nearby consumption, allowing equal participation in the electricity market for projects. Projects have equal market status with other power generation companies and electricity users, and should in principle participate in the electricity market as a unified entity. In areas where the spot market operates continuously, the trading and price settlement of the project's grid-connected electricity should be carried out in accordance with market rules; in areas where the spot market does not operate continuously, the project should not feed electricity back to the public grid in principle, and should not engage in feed-in settlement. The grid-connected electricity generated by the project from new energy sources is not included in the pricing mechanism for sustainable development of new energy sources. When the project consumes electricity, it should participate directly in market transactions and may not purchase electricity through grid operators, and should bear the line loss costs for grid connection in accordance with the amount of electricity fed back into the grid.
