“…Creating a mandatory market share mechanism for Tibetan hydropower. China has established a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) by learning from the experience of others overseas (Ming-Zhi Gao et al, 2015); however, the generation of renewable hydropower energy is not incorporated within the quota management range.…”

Tibet and the Sichuan-Yunnan Tibetan area have enormous potential for hydropower development. Therefore, accelerating hydropower development in these areas can contribute to water resource utilisation and help relieve the poverty, which has also become a necessary choice of national strategic importance to comply with energysaving, emission reduction, and 'power transmission from west to east' policies. Under existing policies, research has shown that the basic costs of electricity from the typical plants in Tibet and the Sichuan-Yunnan Tibetan area are high and uncompetitive, so that investment enthusiasm for hydropower companies will wane and water resource utilisation will be affected. In this study, we suggest policies to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the hydropower development in the Tibet and Sichuan-Yunnan Tibetan areas; eventually, the water resources therein can be more effectively utilised. Research has indicated that drafted preferential policies can effectively decrease the cost price. Additionally, the hydropower industry in these areas should be incorporated into the national primary energy balance, forming a government-dominated market mechanism. This would consist of a mandatory market share of the hydropower transmitted from Tibet and the Sichuan-Yunnan Tibetan area and hydropower-carbon trade mechanismthe aim being to promote the consumption of hydropower across the nation.

“…From the perspective of supply, the current GEC market is experiencing a serious oversupply situation, resulting in a long-term low price on the Supply curve. This is because, with the rapid decline in the cost of RE power generation [8], most countries, such as China [26], the United Kingdom [27,28], Germany [29], etc., support RE power based on fixed electricity prices and consumption guarantee mechanisms, making the supply quantity of GECs increase continuously. Referring to data of China's GEC subscription trading platform, as of August 2023, China has issued more than 118 million GECs, but the cumulative transaction volume is only 41.63 million, resulting in a supply demand ratio of 2.83 [30].…”

The supply of green electricity certificates (GECs) exceeds the demand, leading to companies being more willing to purchase GECs to meet their emission reduction obligations. However, concerns have been raised about the environmental impact of renewable energy (RE) projects labeled as “greenwashing”. Drawing on the “additionality” theory, we developed a cost model with construction, operation, and discount rates. We utilized cost data from China’s onshore wind and photovoltaic power generation in our study. After 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations, we made the following findings: (1) The environmental benefits of RE power generation diminish over time, and the time limit for judging whether RE projects have additional costs compared with traditional thermal power should be considered; (2) The time limit for marginal environmental effects of China’s onshore wind and photovoltaic power generation is estimated to be 7.65–10.78 years and 5.44–7.25 years, respectively. The analysis methods and ideas proposed in this paper can provide reference for the development of the GEC system in China and even other countries.

“…There might be boom risks in RES Particularly for PV, so it is necessary to take precaution, such as narrowing and cutting tariffs, and support duration of FiTs [15]. For instance, in Greece, there is a restriction in the installed capacity of PV in the context of benefitting FiTs [11].…”

“…For example, Germany, Spain, Japan, France, Greece, and Italy have differentiated FiTs rates according to installed capacity and type [45]. In France, Germany and Spain, FiTs rates have been differentiated depending on the type of PV and installation places [13,15]. In fact, France adjusted differentiated FiTs rates in PV based on the types of buildings such as hospitals, schools, residents, etc.…”
