Of the previously mentioned 110.41 GW of newly installed wind power capacity, this figure excludes wind power projects that are part of ultra-high-voltage transmission lines and offshore wind farms. The scale of wind power projects specifically designed to support ultra-high-voltage transmission corridors will be allocated separately, based on the planning, commissioning schedule, and construction timeline of these corridors. In principle, wind power capacity can be configured according to the maximum transmission capability of the corresponding ultra-high-voltage channels. Meanwhile, distributed wind power projects will be implemented strictly in accordance with relevant technical regulations and planning guidelines, without being subject to annual construction-capacity limits.
　　According to statistics from The Paper, from 2017 to 2020, 21 provinces (including Hebei and Shanxi) collectively added 54.5 GW of new photovoltaic capacity (1 GW equals 1,000 MW). Notably, there is no cap on the scale of distributed PV projects, village-level poverty alleviation power stations, or PV plants built alongside inter-provincial and inter-regional transmission channels. Additionally, 8 GW of leading-edge base projects are allocated annually, with the National Energy Administration centrally organizing a competitive selection process to determine the winners. Meanwhile, seven provinces (regions, and municipalities)—Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Fujian, Chongqing, Tibet, and Hainan—are independently managing their respective PV project construction targets for the 13th Five-Year Plan period, proceeding in an orderly manner based on local energy plans and market integration capabilities.
　　For Gansu, Xinjiang (including the Production and Construction Corps), and Ningxia—regions currently facing severe curtailment of solar power—The Opinions do not yet schedule additional construction capacity for 2017–2020. Instead, these plans will be reconsidered and finalized once the situation of solar power curtailment improves significantly. According to data from the National Energy Administration, in 2016, photovoltaic power generation in Xinjiang and Gansu encountered considerable challenges, with curtailment rates reaching 32.23% and 30.45%, respectively, while Ningxia experienced a curtailment rate of 7.15%.
　　Additionally, the "Opinions" state that, in principle, no further support will be provided for large-scale centralized photovoltaic power projects that lack clear goals for technological advancement, fail to introduce innovative market mechanisms, or rely heavily on high subsidy levels. For centralized PV plants, construction will be organized through competitive allocation, provided that grid curtailment is avoided and supported by conditions such as continuous technological progress, effective market integration, and reduced subsidy intensity. Meanwhile, distributed projects—such as rooftop PV systems and smaller-scale PV installations under 20 MW that utilize localized, market-based trading mechanisms for nearby consumption—will be developed independently by market participants, as long as they meet relevant technical standards and adhere to established market rules.
　　The "Opinions" also give preferential treatment to photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects, stating that in 2017, provinces (autonomous regions, and municipalities) should prioritize the development of PV poverty alleviation power stations when allocating their newly added construction capacity—meaning no separate targets will be set specifically for centralized PV poverty alleviation plants. Additionally, provinces like Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan, and Guangdong, which had already utilized more than 500,000 kilowatts of their 2017 construction quotas, will now dedicate their entire remaining new capacity exclusively to building PV poverty alleviation power stations.
　　In wind power, 25 provinces (regions, and municipalities) including Shanxi and Fujian added a total of 110.41 GW of new installed capacity between 2017 and 2020.
　　Jilin, Heilongjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region—and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps—will temporarily refrain from issuing annual targets for new wind power capacity expansion. These targets will be announced separately once the issues of wind curtailment and power restrictions ease. In the 2017 Wind Power Investment Monitoring and Early Warning Report released by the National Energy Administration in February of this year, all of the aforementioned provinces (and regions) were classified as "red alert" areas for wind power development and construction, while other provinces were designated as "green" zones.
　　According to data from the National Energy Administration, in 2016, the wind curtailment rates in the aforementioned provinces and regions under red alerts were as follows: Inner Mongolia at 21% (with 12.4 billion kWh of wind power wasted), Heilongjiang at 19% (wasting 2 billion kWh), Jilin at 30% (wasting 2.9 billion kWh), Ningxia at 13% (wasting 1.9 billion kWh), Gansu at 43% (wasting 10.4 billion kWh), and Xinjiang at 38% (wasting 13.7 billion kWh).
　　Of the previously mentioned 110.41 GW of newly installed wind power capacity, this figure excludes wind power projects配套 with ultra-high-voltage transmission lines and offshore wind farms. The scale of wind power projects specifically designed to support ultra-high-voltage transmission corridors will be allocated separately, based on the planning, commissioning schedule, and construction timeline of these corridors. In principle, wind power capacity can be configured according to the maximum transmission capability of the corresponding ultra-high-voltage channels. Meanwhile, distributed wind power projects will be implemented strictly in accordance with relevant technical regulations and planning guidelines, without being subject to annual construction-capacity limits.
　　The "Opinions" call for vigorously promoting combined heat and power (CHP) generation from agricultural and forestry biomass, while strictly controlling projects that focus solely on electricity production without providing heat. CHP using agricultural and forestry biomass will be positioned as a key clean heating solution for county-level areas, delivering reliable, eco-friendly warmth to county towns and rural communities, as well as supplying clean industrial steam to industrial parks and enterprises—effectively replacing coal-fired boilers and the direct use of loose coal within these regions. Additionally, local conditions should guide the prudent advancement of municipal solid waste incineration CHP projects tailored to urban and town needs.
　　Regarding subsidy funding, the National Energy Administration emphasized in its "Opinions" that energy authorities in each province (region, municipality) should organize renewable energy power projects within their regions. In addition to considering grid integration and market absorption guarantees, they must also take into account factors such as local surcharges on renewable energy electricity prices and other available subsidy funding sources specific to their region. Local governments at all levels are encouraged to explore multiple funding channels to support the development of renewable energy. Furthermore, regions that have already established provincial-level policies supporting the construction and utilization of renewable energy can appropriately expand their project scales accordingly.
