Merit Order of Electricity Intake
ii
In the PRC, the dispatch priority of power generation units is determined in the following sequence pursuant to
regulations issued in 1993 and a provisional State Council measure issued in 2007:
Merit Order of Electricity Intake, China
non-adjustable power generation units utilising renewable sources, including wind, solar, marine energy and run-of-the-
river hydro;
adjustable power generation units utilising renewable sources, including adjustable hydro, biomass and geothermal energy,
as well as waste incineration power generation units meeting certain environmental standards;
nuclear power generation units;
iv
cogen units that meet certain heat to power ratio requirements;
V
gas-fired power generation units;
vi
vii
coal-fired power generation units, including cogen units (other than those included in (iv) above); and
oil-fired power generation units.
Furthermore, particularly in southwest China, in order to deal with and better utilise the abundant hydropower
capacity, central government inclusive of NDRC and NEA issued regulatory guidance (e.g.
MŁ¤ALNA
), promoting the optimised allocation of hydropower resources and prioritising hydropower generation. For
instance, regarding the cross-region power supply and power receiving, hydropower in southwest China shall enjoy
certain level of priorities for power generation and transmission. Moreover, power grid constructions for hydropower
transmission from southwest to the rest of China (e.g. Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi) are encouraged and
emphasised to ensure the unimpeded power transmission in future.
