[SMM PV News] According to SMM, the "Work Plan for Issuing Green Electricity Certificates for Distributed Renewable Energy Power Generation Projects in Zhejiang, Henan, and Guangdong Provinces" recently issued by the National Energy Administration proposes that, in accordance with the principles of pilot implementation and step-by-step execution, efforts should be made to explore and carry out the work of issuing green electricity certificates for distributed projects (including self-generated and self-consumed electricity). It aims to achieve full coverage of green electricity certificate issuance for distributed projects by month-end December 2025. The Plan requires that green electricity certificates be issued based on electricity usage. For projects with full self-generated and self-consumed electricity, the electricity metered by the project's power generation meter (including losses and auxiliary power consumption) shall be used as the basis for issuing non-tradable green electricity certificates for self-generated and self-consumed electricity. For projects with surplus self-generated electricity fed into the grid, the electricity metered by the power generation meter (including losses and auxiliary power consumption) minus the electricity metered for grid connection shall be used as the basis for issuing non-tradable green electricity certificates for self-generated and self-consumed electricity, while tradable green electricity certificates shall be issued for the electricity fed into the grid.

It is understood that the National Energy Administration has officially approved the power source allocation plan for the "Qaidam Desert Base (East Golmud) Base". The planned construction scale of the power source projects at this base is 17.44 million kilowatts, including 10 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power, 5 million kilowatts of wind power, 2.64 million kilowatts of coal-fired power, 0.1 million kilowatts of solar thermal power, and 1.5 million kilowatts (for 4 hours) of electrochemical energy storage. The total investment in the projects is about 86 billion yuan. The new energy will be transmitted to Guangxi through the "Qinghai-Guangxi DC" UHV power transmission project. Currently, significant progress has been made in the preliminary work of the "Qinghai-Guangxi DC" project, w

[SMM PV News] Armenia Hits 1.1 GW Solar Capacity,
Armenia’s cumulative solar capacity has surged to 1.1 GW following the addition of approximately 615 MW in 2025. This rapid expansion has pushed solar's share of electricity generation to around 15%, effectively meeting the country's 2030 target years ahead of schedule. The growth is heavily driven by a net-metering scheme supporting over 50,000 autonomous producers (totaling 650 MW), though the government ended loan subsidies for rooftop solar in July to shift focus toward battery storage.
