On April 2, the Zhenjiang Municipal Development and Reform Commission issued the “Distributed Photovoltaic Power Generation Project Grid Connection Process (Draft for Comment)”. In terms of the grid-connected service process for the construction of distributed photovoltaic projects, provisions have been made in six major aspects, including improving filing management, grid-connected intention reply, on-site investigation, acceptance and reply of access system design plan report, signing of contract agreement, installation of metering devices and grid-connected inspection, and electricity bill settlement. The main points are as follows:
· improve the record management
the record information of distributed photovoltaic power generation project shall include the project name, investment subject, construction site, project type, construction scale, Internet access mode, etc. For providing false information, the filing authority may deal with it in accordance with the relevant provisions. For projects that do not conform to the actual situation on site or the filing information and relevant policies, the power supply enterprise shall remind the user to modify the filing information in time. If the user refuses to modify or fails to provide the correct filing certificate within the time limit, the power supply enterprise shall not connect to the grid and terminate the business.
· reply to grid connection intention
within the same red line of land use, industrial and commercial distributed photovoltaic power generation projects constructed by stages shall not add new connection points with the public power grid. For projects constructed in phases and filed separately by the same investor, in principle only one power generation account shall be established. For projects constructed in phases and filed separately by different investors, one power generation account may be established; alternatively, separate accounts may be opened after the relevant investors have reached a mutually agreed arrangement for the allocation of generated electricity. In the acceptance and network intention forward, power supply enterprises should focus on the examination of the nature of household distributed photovoltaic property rights, in strict accordance with the nature of property rights classification disposal.
· site investigation
if the project starts construction ahead of schedule, the power supply enterprise shall suspend the acceptance of its intention to connect to the grid and report the relevant information to the local competent department.
-Accepting and replying to the report of the design scheme of the access system
for the distributed photovoltaic power generation project for natural households, the power supply enterprise directly replies to the owner of the distributed photovoltaic power generation project according to the typical design scheme.
, contract agreement signing, metering device installation and grid connection inspection
before the distributed photovoltaic power generation project is connected to the grid, the power supply enterprise shall be responsible for the acceptance of the user side lines (cables), grid connection switches, power distribution devices, high-voltage electric energy metering devices, inverters, capacitors, lightning arresters, other electrical equipment test results and operator qualifications. for those who fail the completion acceptance, the project investment entity shall complete the rectification within 4 working days. If the rectification is not completed within the prescribed time limit, the power supply enterprise shall not be connected to the grid.
· electricity bill settlement
distributed photovoltaic power generation projects and power supply enterprises must sign electricity purchase and sale contracts before carrying out electricity bill settlement. if no electricity contract is signed, electricity bill settlement shall not be carried out. The cost of electricity generated by the distributed photovoltaic power generation project shall be paid by the main body of the power supply contract. If the payment is not made within the time limit, the power supply enterprise may implement the power outage due in accordance with the law and disconnect the connection point between the photovoltaic project and the power grid side.
