Abstract
China has considered it imperative to address its energy needs and environmental challenges through the use of renewable energy. The promulgation of the Renewable Energy Law in 2005 created impetus for the development of renewable energy in the electricity sector. Investment in renewable energy in China is attractive owing to legally established support schemes. However, there are challenges with the design and implementation of the schemes. There are also challenges such as grid issues and access, poor enforcement mechanisms, proliferation of incentives and regulations, local content and protectionist measures. Proactive legislative measures will need to be put in place to address the challenges.
