China, Asia’s largest solar market, plans to add more generation projects in regions where the electricity can be distributed to customers who live nearby.
The government intends to expand the total capacity of such projects to 20 gigawatts by 2015, Wu Xinxiong, head of the National Energy Administration, said in a speech posted on the agency’s website. That compares with just 2 gigawatts at the end of last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
