China is requiring for the first time that steel&cement plants buy renewable electricity. Together with the higher minimum share of renewables for distribution firms, this boosts demand just as new solar&wind plants have to secure contracts directly with buyers.
So! China released its new renewable power consumption quotas yesterday and added heavy industry into the list of obligated entities. A Big Deal! I last wrote a thread about China's RPS ~4 years ago, but things have changed since then, so it's time for a commentary refresh. 🧵
