Two departments: the proportion of the annual self-generated electricity consumption of the multi-user green electricity direct connection project should not be less than 60% of the total available electricity generation.

On May 20, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the "Notice on Promoting the Orderly Development of Multi-user Green Electricity Direct Connection." It mentioned that provincial energy authorities should strengthen the overall planning of projects. Projects should plan the installation scale of new energy reasonably according to the principle of "source follows load." The proportion of self-generated electricity to the total available electricity should not be less than 60%, and the proportion of total electricity consumption should not be less than 30%, before 2030, not less than 35%. The wind power and CECEP Solar Energy generation scale of projects should be included in the new energy generation development plan formulated by provincial energy authorities, and relevant planning management requirements should follow the execution of the Notice on Promoting the Orderly Development of Green Electricity Direct Connection (NDRC Energy [2025] No. 650). Projects and their internal resources are exempt from electricity business permits, except for other provisions. The original text is as follows: Notification on the Orderly Promotion of the Development of Multi-user Green Electricity Direct Connection by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration Energy Reform [2026] No. 688 To the Development and Reform Commissions and Energy Administrations of all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the Urban Management Committee of Beijing, the Industry and Information Technology Bureau of Tianjin, the Industry and Information Technology Department of Liaoning Province, the Economic and Information Committee of Shanghai, the Economic and Information Committee of Chongqing, the Industry and Information Technology Department of Gansu Province, dispatched agencies of the National Energy Administration, State Grid Corporation of China, China Southern Power Grid Co., Ltd., and relevant central enterprises: In order to implement the spirit of the 19th and 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the resolutions of previous plenary sessions, improve policies and measures for the integration and control of new energy, promote the local consumption of new energy, better meet the demand for energy transformation towards green and low-carbon, actively promote the achievement of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, based on the Notice on Promoting the Orderly Development of Green Electricity Direct Connection (NDRC Energy [2025] No. 650), we hereby issue the following notice on the orderly promotion of the development of multi-user green electricity direct connection. I. Scope of Application Multi-user green electricity direct connection refers to new energy generation such as wind power, CECEP Solar Energy, and biomass power generation being supplied to multiple users Green electricity through dedicated lines and substations without directly connecting to the public power grid, achieving clear traceability and distribution of supplied electricity. Among them, multi-users refer to multiple different legal entities, excluding residential and agricultural users. Multi-user green electricity direct connection projects (hereinafter referred to as projects) are divided into grid-connected and off-grid types based on whether they are connected to the public grid. Grid-connected projects as a whole connect to the public grid, forming a clear physical interface and responsibility interface with the public grid, and the power source should be connected to the project's internal. New loads should be supported to build new energy power sources composed of multi-user green electricity direct connection projects. In existing loads, single-user green electricity direct connection projects can absorb other new loads, while supporting the expansion of new energy power sources composed of multi-user green electricity direct connection projects; users with a demand for green power consumption (including enterprises with requirements for a proportion of green power consumption, key energy-consuming and carbon-emitting enterprises, export-oriented enterprises with carbon reduction requirements and their upstream and downstream enterprises, etc.) can explore and develop multi-user green electricity direct connection using surrounding new energy resources; industrial parks, zero-carbon parks, incremental distribution networks, and part or all of the loads of energy parks can be connected to new energy sources...
