In order to promote wind power consumption in China, this paper designs four kinds of feed-in tariff (FIT) mechanisms: a double-track FIT mechanism based on a ratio, a time-of-use benchmarking tariff mechanism, a net back pricing mechanism based on the inter-provincial wind power consumption market, and an FIT mechanism based on negotiation.
Although the values are still lower than the benchmark, its tariff at large consumption is higher than the one in lots of EU countries.
