In March 1999, amidst a growing recognition of the contribution that renewable energy can make to sustainable development, the Government of China launched the present project, Capacity Building for the Rapid Commercialization of Renewable Energy in China.   The Project supports a market-oriented approach to increasing the more widespread adoption of renewables, addressing a number of critical issues holding back the commercialization of renewable energy in China today.   Strong international support from the Governments of Australia and the Netherlands, and from UNDP/GEF, has made possible an ambitious programme of activities.

     The objective of this website is to promote awareness of the Project’s efforts to drive forward the commercialization of renewable energy in China. Through its interactive database, the website also provides an innovative mechanism for sharing information amongst the many related initiatives ongoing in China.  

    We hope you find your visits to the site not only informative, but also of practical use to facilitate your work in this field.  Of course, recommendations as to how the site may be improved are welcome, and should be directed to the project management office.
