Article The distributed generation applies to the following methods:
(A) the total installed capacity of 50,000 kilowatts and below the small hydropower;
(Two) in order to access the various distribution grid voltage level wind, solar, biomass, ocean energy, geothermal energy and other new energy sources;
(Three) in addition to a variety of other direct combustion of coal waste generation, multi-energy and solar power generation, waste heat and pressure residual gas power generation, power generation and other resources comprehensive utilization of coal mine gas power generation;
(Four) total installed capacity of 50,000 kilowatts and below the CBM power generation
(Five) integrated energy utilization efficiency is higher than 70% and natural gas power consumptive place CCHP and so on.

(Five) urban residential areas, residential buildings and individual residential buildings;
(Six) in rural areas, villages and townships;
(Seven) in remote pastoral areas and islands;
(Eight) suitable for distributed power generation and other fields.
Article currently applicable to distributed generation technologies include:
(A) made for the use of small hydropower integration technology;
(Two) combined with the user side of the building photovoltaic technology;
(Three) scattered layout of the building and network-based wind power, solar power technology;
(Four) small complementary scenery storage and other energy generation technology;
(Five) of industrial waste heat and pressure than gas power generation and cogeneration technologies and more;
(Six) to agricultural and forestry residues, livestock waste, organic waste and garbage as raw materials gasification, direct combustion and biogas power generation and cogeneration technologies and more;
(Seven), geothermal energy, ocean energy power generation and cogeneration technologies and more;
(Eight) and more natural gas cogeneration technology, coal bed methane (CMM) power generation technologies;
(Nine) other distributed generation technologies.
Article IX provincial energy department in conjunction with the relevant departments, could be used for distributed generation resources survey and evaluation for distributed generation planning and project construction to provide a scientific basis.
Article provincial energy department in conjunction with the relevant departments, can be used for distributed generation based on a variety of resources and the local use of energy needs, the preparation of the province, autonomous region or municipality distributed generation integrated planning, a clear focus areas of distributed generation development goal, the construction scale and overall layout of the State Council in charge of energy department.
Article XI shall be distributed generation integrated planning and economic and social development planning, urban planning, natural gas pipeline network planning, distribution planning and construction areas without electricity power construction planning phase of convergence.
Chapter III project construction and management
Article XII encourage enterprises, specialized energy service companies, and individuals, including various types, including investment in the construction and operation of power users distributed generation projects, distributed generation projects exempted generation business licenses.
Article XIII of the provincial department in charge of investment and energy departments in charge of the implementation of the construction of distributed generation in the region. Pursuant to simplify procedures, improve efficiency principles, different levels of management.
Of the State Council department in charge of organization of energy distributed power generation demonstration projects to promote the development of distributed generation and management innovation, and promote technological progress and industrialization.
• Chapter grid access
Article 15 With the energy department in conjunction with stakeholders to establish access to the distribution network of distributed generation technology standards, engineering specifications and related management practices.
Article XVI external grid enterprises responsible for grid connection of distributed generation facilities and the public caused by the access portion of the investment in the construction of power grids and distributed generation to provide convenient, timely and efficient access to grid services, and investment management distributed generation facilities project units (or self-employed, home users) and network protocols and signed power purchase contract.
Article XVII grid enterprises should develop distributed power generation and network workflows to the city or county as the unit set up and publish to accept distributed generation investor reporting location and contact information, improve service efficiency, and ensure barrier-free access.
For 35 kV and below voltage distribution grid connected distributed generation, grid enterprises should apply specifically set streamline processes and network applications and provides consulting, commissioning and grid inspection and other services.
