Grid integration. What the 13 th FYP of Solar Development did not point out is that Northwest China had been suffering from high curtailment of renewable energy, which became particularly serious starting in 2015. The total amount of wasted solar power in 2015 was 4.65 MWh, at a curtailment rate of 12.6%.These issues occur specifically in Gansu, Qinghai,
Despite the rapid development of renewable energy power in China, this development faces two significant challenges.
