Last week the Chinese National Energy Administration (NEA) revealed the winners of its feed-in tariff (FiT) auction.
The competitive tender is the replacement to the old FiT, which was halted as part of the 531 New Deal process in May 2018. In total, just short of 23GW of projects have been awarded.
