Recently, the General Office of the People’s Government of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region issued the Notice on Amending Certain Contents of Document Neizhengbanfa [2022] No. 15, adjusting relevant support policies for the region’s hydrogen energy industry.
According to the notice, this amendment involved the electricity price support provisions in the Opinions of the General Office of the People’s Government of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Promoting the High-Quality Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry. In Part III “Support Policies,” Item (4) “Improving the Hydrogen Energy Equipment Industry Chain,” the preferential electricity-use arrangements formulated for certain hydrogen energy equipment manufacturing enterprises were removed.
The specific content that was отменed was: for hydrogen energy equipment manufacturing enterprises registered in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and possessing independent legal person status, the original policy stipulated that production electricity consumption for enterprises in western Inner Mongolia could be implemented by reference to electricity prices for strategic emerging industries; production electricity consumption for enterprises in eastern Inner Mongolia would participate in market transactions with a 100% new energy mix. If national electricity price policies were adjusted, the latest national electricity price policies would apply.
This means that the relevant electricity price support provisions previously implemented by Inner Mongolia for eligible hydrogen energy equipment manufacturing enterprises will no longer continue to implement. This policy adjustment was a further revision of the original support measures for the hydrogen energy industry, affecting enterprises’ subsequent production electricity costs and market transaction arrangements.
The notice took effect as of the date of issuance. Any issues arising during implementation will be interpreted by the Energy Administration of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The document was dated August 11, 2026, and was publicly released on August 14.
