The projects should be backed by cross-regional power supply agreements as well as commitments from the end-user provinces to build the required transmission capacity. Energy regulators in China are using new rules to encourage cross-regional wind projects, as part of Beiing's efforts to reduce the amount of renewable energy being wasted. At present about 12% of all wind power generated in China is lost as a result of problems with inadequate access to grids. The government has also been trying to boost domestic solar power, which accounts for less than 1% of total electricity generation.
