and offshore projects. At the time of writing,
among the coastal provinces/cities where
the offshore wind power projects are mainly
located in China, Shanghai Municipality,
Guangdong Province, Shandong Province,
Zhejiang Province, Guangxi Province, Jiangsu
Province, Fujian Province and Dalian city
have already published their local Competitive Allocation Schemes for offshore wind
power projects, either through specific
rules for offshore projects or a single set of
rules covering both onshore and offshore
projects.15 It is worth noting that the Competitive Allocation Scheme of Jiangsu Province
only applies for Year 2021. Generally speaking, the Competitive Allocation Guidance
divides projects in two categories:
(a) projects with developer already identified (Pre-identified Developer Projects):
these are projects for which a developer
has entered into a wind power development agreement (Development Agreement) with the local government and
completed the Preliminary Works. The
Local NEA evaluates these projects based on certain parameters and assigns
them a score. The projects with a high
score are included with priority in the
49
Construction Plan of the province. There
is no additional bidding procedure to
determine the developers of those projects; they are assigned to the entity that
carried out the Preliminary Works; and
(b) projects with no developer identified
(Non Pre-identified Developer Projects):
these are projects for which the Local
NEA and local government themselves
have organised and completed the
Preliminary Works. No developer has
been pre-identified for these projects.
The developer is determined through
competitive tender, announced by the
Local NEA.
The evaluation standards used by the Local
NEA to assign a score to Pre-identified Developer Projects and to select the developers
of Non Pre-identified Developer Projects are
provided by the competitive rules adopted
by the Local NEA and therefore vary from
province to province. Generally speaking,
the Local NEA uses a comprehensive scoring
method that takes into account various factors (technical capabilities of the applicant,
track record, technology and equipment
used, conclusion of Preliminary Works, and
