On April 18, the National Energy Administration released Chapters 2 and 3 of the *Case Interpretation of the Implementation Plan for Promoting High-Quality Development of New Energy in the New Era*. The *Implementation Plan* requires that "no unreasonable investment or costs shall be added to new energy enterprises in any name", that is, except for fees stipulated by national laws and regulations, local governments at all levels shall not set up additional fees under other names, nor shall they force enterprises to pay fees in the name of donations, etc. This will promote the rationalization of costs in the development and construction process.
However, in the process of new energy project development, many local governments have put forward various additional conditions for new energy project investment, including driving equipment manufacturing industries to build factories locally, investing in road construction, donating for assistance, cooperating with local enterprises, etc., which have seriously pushed up the non-technical costs of new energy project development.
For specific policies and cases, please refer to the annex: Chapters 2 and 3 of the *Case Interpretation of the Implementation Plan for Promoting High-Quality Development of New Energy in the New Era*
