Workflow for GEC Issuance for Non-Public Grid Projects Where Data is Submitted by the Project Owner
I. Project Registration and Card Establishment
The owner of a non-public grid project shall complete project registration and card establishment based on the principle of one project corresponding to one power generation account number (electricity collection unit). For projects approved in the form of packages or phased commissioning, individual sub-projects or individual phases shall have separate power generation account numbers.
II. Credit Commitment
The owner of a non-public grid project shall make a credit commitment and upload the commitment letter through the National GEC Issuance and Trading System, subject to public supervision.
III. Electricity Data Collection
The owner of a non-public grid project shall fill in the basic data for GEC issuance and relevant supporting materials through the electricity declaration module of the National GEC Issuance and Trading System (hereinafter referred to as the manual filling method). Where conditions permit, the owner may also, by itself or by entrusting the connected non-public grid operating entity, build a data collection interface with the National GEC Issuance and Trading System to batch fill in the basic data for GEC issuance and relevant supporting materials (hereinafter referred to as the interface collection method).
(1) Data Submission
1. When submitting data and materials via the manual filling method, basic data such as the code of the electricity metering device for the non-public grid project, the year and month of electricity generation, the on-grid electricity (i.e., electricity sent to the public grid), and the self-consumed electricity (including electricity consumed by the project owner and green electricity consumed by other users on the user side) shall be provided as required.
2. When submitting data and materials via the interface collection method, basic data shall be provided according to the data collection list requirements in the Notice of the General Department of the National Energy Administration on Organizing Incremental Distribution Networks and Local Grid Enterprises to Carry Out Data Collection Related to GEC Issuance (Guo Neng Zong Tong Zi Zi [2024] No. 108), and extended data on project information, electricity metering device information, electricity information, power user information, and green electricity consumption information shall be provided as needed for GEC issuance and transfer. The information system submitting data via the interface collection method must meet the interface technical specifications and relevant security management requirements.
3. On-grid electricity shall be reported based on the settlement voucher from the public grid enterprise, and the on-grid electricity can be zero. Self-consumed electricity can be reported based on the total generation minus the on-grid electricity.
(2) Calibration certificates for metering devices measuring generation, self-consumed electricity, etc., issued by a statutory electric energy metering verification institution (uploaded periodically according to the validity period of the calibration certificate).
(3) For projects with an electricity settlement relationship with the public grid (i.e., on-grid electricity greater than 0), a settlement certificate provided by the public grid shall be submitted.
