Solar firms warned on delisting from overseas stock markets (3)

China's Energy Policy 2012, a government white paper issued last Wednesday, reaffirmed the government's commitment to fully developing the potential of solar power. It plans to increase its solar power generating capacity sevenfold by 2015, according to the white paper.

A key method of doing that is to allow photovoltaic solar power producers to connect to the national grid free of charge, in a bid to boost its sources of renewable energy.

China State Grid Corp, the nation's largest power grid operator, announced a series of measures in late October to facilitate the free connection of solar power plants to the grid, which experts hope will overcome a bottleneck that has stifled domestic demand for solar panels.
