On 28 July 2017, China’s National Energy Administration (NEA) published updated guidelines for the development of wind and PV power under the 13th Five Year Plan of Renewable Energy Development. The new guidelines release the amount of ground-mount PV approved by province and establish an annual top-runner target of 8 GW until 2020. The total cumulative target for ground-mount grid-connected capacity mounts to 128 GW by the end of 2020. This roadmap, more generous than the official government target of at least 105 GW of total PV installed capacity by 2020, sets the stage for continued, steady PV deployment in China and has led IHS Markit to increase the 5-year forecast.
