The United Nations Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) executive board (EB), said executive vice president of tower, EB program two weeks after the meeting in Bonn, Germany, on the refusal by the United Nations Register of China Wind Power CDM Project discussion, I look forward to a conclusion.
EB official website shows, EB 54 meeting will be May 24 to 28 at.
The rapid development of wind power, in large part to benefit from CDM, according to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) statistics, as of the end of 2009, China has registered wind CDM projects, accounting for nearly one-third of the total number of CDM projects .
“Additionality” controversy
The reason why China’s Wind Power CDM projects registered by the United Nations rejected the controversy mainly in the “additionality” issue.
CDM additionality can be interpreted as, CDM project activity emission reductions relative to baseline is additional, that such project activities without external support under CDM (CERs income), there are specific financial benefits, financing channels barriers, difficult to implement through domestic conditions, it is difficult to achieve corresponding reductions. The CDM’s support to help alleviate and overcome these obstacles, making the project to be implemented.
EB CDM wind power project in China’s challenge to an additional rise due to price, thereby affecting the project’s registration.
In early December 2009 the end of EB 51 meeting, China has 10 CDM wind power genertators project by the United Nations refused registration in the wind CDM project approval history, this is the first time. To February 2010, EB 52 meeting, the previous rejection of the 10 wind power projects in China, there are two approved for registration, but there are 6 other wind power projects rejected, rejected China’s wind power 14 the total number of CDM projects.
So far, about six months later, things still do not have a conclusion.
Long Yuan Electric Power Group Corporation Xiechang Jun told reporters in the rejection of the 10 CDM projects in China, wind power, of which 5 projects are Longyuan belongs, “We think we have to declare the project is in line with United Nations standards of CDM registration shall be given to our registration, we propose the application, and now there is no final outcome. ”
“This is because the CDM rules, projects must have additionality.” explained to reporters, said Tower. That is, audit experts said some parts of China, the provincial government, the project provided assistance to enable access to the Internet price of wind power is lower than five years ago. In other words, China’s wind power electricity price is the Government’s carefully designed to reduce the price of the project through additional nature of cash in subsidies through the CDM mechanism to replace the existing government subsidies.
“We are not accused China’s wind turbines industry, just want to find a solution.” Tower said.
Need to improve the efficiency of EB
From December 2009 China Wind Power CDM Project 10 “refused” to the present, is almost six months, and the United Nations still does not have a conclusion.
tower said, EB plans two weeks in Bonn, Germany, the EB meeting, on the refusal to register by the United Nations CDM projects in China to discuss wind power, then there may be a conclusion.
“This issue is our highest priority agenda, once a conclusion, will apply to all projects, all countries.” tower said, EB will be based on the conclusion of the wind one by one CDM project validation .
However, he pointed out, can not guarantee when we will be able to conclude, if there is no conclusion in June of the next EB meeting for further discussion on this topic.
This rhythm, obviously can not meet the aspirations of the applicant.
“This will affect the project’s progress, even if the project ultimately approved, but two years have passed, time is precious.” NDRC Energy Research Institute, Yang Hongwei, director of project management, CDM EB can hope to speed up the rate review.
At the meeting, tower acknowledged need to improve the efficiency of the United Nations, “our system is too bureaucratic, and review is too slow, because a large part of the efficiency of the United Nations system is not too high.”
