Major Interpretation: Jiangsu's New Distributed Photovoltaic Policy Released! Golden Opportunity for BIPV Enterprises, and a Greener Boost for Rural Revitalization

On April 11, 2025, the Jiangsu Provincial Development and Reform Commission released the "Implementation Measures for the Implementation of the (Draft for Comments)", which takes "flexible grid-connection mode + precise absorption management" as its core, injecting a strong impetus into the distributed photovoltaic industry! As a BIPV (Building-Integrated Photovoltaics) production and sales enterprise, how can you seize policy benefits? How will the new policy empower the local economy and energy transformation? This article provides an in-depth analysis!

 

01

Four Highlights of the Policy: Direct Benefits for BIPV Enterprises

 

 

1

Flexible Grid-Connection Mode Lowers Development Threshold

· Relaxation of Self-Generation and Self-Consumption Ratio ：

The self-generation and self-consumption ratio for general industrial and commercial distributed photovoltaic projects is not limited, allowing enterprises to flexibly adjust their power generation strategies according to their actual electricity needs, reducing concerns about surplus power grid connection, and improving project economic efficiency.
 

· Simplified Record-Filing for Full Grid-Connection Projects ：

Industrial and commercial projects that need full grid connection can be filed as centralized photovoltaic power stations, directly included in the annual implementation plan, without participating in market-based grid connection competition, significantly shortening project cycles.

· Flexible Mode Changes ：

Allows projects to change their grid-connection mode once or be changed to centralized power station filing midway, adapting to market dynamic needs.

Optimized Record-Filing Management Improves Efficiency

· Localized Record-Filing Process and Agency Services ：  

Power grid companies can act as agents for users' photovoltaic record-filing, simplifying the approval process; at the same time, clarifying record-filing material requirements (such as ownership certificates, load verification reports), reducing compliance risks.
 

· Transitional Policy Guarantees Existing Projects ：

For non-natural person household projects that were filed before January 23, 2025, but have not yet been connected to the grid, the merger of filings and changes is allowed. Those connected to the grid before May 1 can continue to use the original policy, avoiding waste of early investment.

Transparent and Intelligent Upgrade of Absorption Capacity

· Distribution Network Capacity Early Warning Mechanism ：

Announces available capacity by county on a quarterly basis, refined to the natural village transformer level, helping companies choose locations accurately and reducing the risk of power curtailment.

· " Four "Can" Standards Promote Technological Upgrades ：

Requires projects to have the ability to be "observable, measurable, adjustable, and controllable", enhancing market competitiveness.

Local Development Benefits: A Win-Win for Green Economy and Energy Transformation

 

1. Accelerated Optimization of Energy Structure ：

The new policy requires that all grid-connected electricity from distributed photovoltaics enter the electricity market, promoting in-depth synergy between new energy and the power grid. It is expected that the proportion of renewable energy in Jiangsu will exceed 40% by 2030.

2. Injecting New Momentum into Rural Revitalization ：

Industrial Linkage Effects : The implementation of BIPV projects will drive the development of local photovoltaic component production, installation and maintenance, intelligent control equipment, and other industrial chain links, creating job opportunities.

Empowering Rural Revitalization : The whole-village development model improves the economic vitality of rural areas and improves the stability of rural power supply through forms such as increased income for village collectives and farmer dividends.

3. Comprehensive Enhancement of Grid Resilience ：

Intelligent Transformation and Upgrade : The transparent early warning of the distribution network and the "four can" standards promote the digital upgrade of the power grid, improving the resilience of the regional power system and reducing the impact of distributed photovoltaics on the power grid.

4. Market Regulation and Safety Assurance ：

Multi-Departmental Collaborative Supervision : Clarifying the responsibilities of the housing and construction, natural resources, and emergency management departments, strictly investigating the safety of roof loads and equipment compliance, eliminating "photovoltaic loans" and other chaotic phenomena, ensuring the safety of the entire life cycle of projects, and maintaining market order.

Conclusion

 

Jiangsu's new distributed photovoltaic policy has opened a new window for BIPV enterprises: "flexible development + precise management", and will inject green energy into local economic and energy transformation.
