as the only source of renewable energy subsidies, the electricity price surcharge for renewable energy was adjusted from .1 cent/kwh in 27 to .15 yuan/kwh in 212, and increased to .19 yuan/kwh in 216. With the expansion of industrial scale, the total amount of subsidies has increased simultaneously. In 217, the installed capacity of new energy increased significantly, but there was no corresponding increase in surcharges. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Finance, by the end of 217, China's renewable energy subsidy gap totaled 1 billion yuan, of which the photovoltaic subsidy gap accounted for nearly half, about 49.6 billion yuan. This data seems to be not small, but in fact, the so-called gap involving the photovoltaic industry of 5-1 billion is the sum of the gaps that have been accumulated and accumulated over the past decade or so, not the annual gap, which is the second obvious misunderstanding of photovoltaic subsidies by the outside world!

The reason is that Li Junfeng, the first director of the National Center for Strategic Research and International Cooperation on Climate Change and the chairman of the Renewable Energy Professional Committee of China Energy Research Association, believes that there are two fundamental reasons for the widening subsidy gap:

First, the collection is not in place, which leads to the inability to make ends meet; Second, the collection quota has not increased with the expansion of renewable energy scale.

Li Junfeng pointed out that the source of subsidies is the additional levy from renewable energy electricity prices, which should be 1 billion yuan per year, but the levy ratio is only about 75%, and the annual deficit is more than 2 billion yuan. In the long run, it has caused historical debts, which have accumulated and accumulated for many years and become a gap of 1 billion yuan. In Li Junfeng's view, the additional amount of renewable energy has not been adjusted in time according to the requirements of the Renewable Energy Law, and it is inevitable that there will be a gap in subsidies.

Therefore, some experts suggested that while controlling the development speed of photovoltaic, the finance should appropriately increase the fund scale to meet the development needs. If the electricity price surcharge of renewable energy in the whole society is collected, the so-called gap will be greatly reduced. If the social electricity consumption is increased to 3 cents per kilowatt hour, the subsidy will be completely solved.
