“中國政府應該利用碳稅為太陽能發電補貼籌資。”通威集團董事局主席劉漢元說。通威集團目前正在規劃大型投資來擴大其太陽能電池業務。

“如果中國設立10到20元（1.6美元至3.2美元）每噸的碳排放稅，則每年可以募集1000到2000億元資金用于可再生能源補貼。”劉漢元在周日、全國人民代表大會開幕前于北京舉行的新聞發布會上表示，而這也是他本次將提交中國最高立法機構的議案中的觀點。劉漢元作為全國人大代表，將出席本月在中國首都舉行的全國人大會議。

劉漢元的觀點部分來自于他長期從事的事業和不斷擴大的公司規模。通威集團旗下通威股份在去年十一月曾發布消息，計劃斥資120億元打造兩個太陽能電池工廠，這將使通威成為全球最大的太陽能電池制造商，并幫助實現其電池產能30GW的目標。

中國國家能源局的數據顯示，中國新增了創紀錄的53GW的太陽能發電裝機容量，而據彭博新能源財經的樂觀預測，今年中國可能再增加多達65GW的太陽能發電裝機容量。

政府的負擔

“截至去年年底，由于附加電費不足以覆蓋補貼，中國政府已拖欠太陽能開發商約1000億元補貼費用。”中國國家能源局官員程晨璐（音譯）一月曾表示。

“同時中國應該針對光伏產業進行減稅，因為中國需要進行能源轉型以減少空氣污染。”劉漢元說。他希望中國能夠依靠市場化機制來決定太陽能發電裝機的規模，而不是設定指標。

在談到美國針對其他國家制造的太陽能設備所征收的關稅時，劉漢元表示這可能最終同時傷害到美國以及其他國家。

Board Chairman of Tongwei Group Calls for Carbon Tax to Fund Solar Subsidies

Plan aims to raise 100-200 billion yuan a year for renewables

Tongwei strives to become the world’s largest solar-cell maker

The Chinese government should use carbon taxes to fund solar power subsidies, said Liu Hanyuan, board chairman of Tongwei Group,which is planning big investments to expand its solar-cell manufacturing business.

If China set a 10 to 20 yuan ($1.6 to $3.2) per ton tax for carbon emissions, it could generate 100 to 200 billion yuan a year,which then could be used to subsidize renewables, Liu said in a Beijing briefing on Sunday before the start of the National People’s Congress. That’s part of his proposal to China’s top legislative body, in which Liu serves as adelegate. He will be attending the session this month in the nation’s capital.

Liu’s comments come as Tongwei has been expanding its presence in the solar industry. Subsidiary Tongwei Co. said in November it plans to spend 12 billion yuan to build two solar-cell factories, which would make the Chinese firm the world’s biggest manufacturer and help it achieve its goal of 30 gigawatts of cell capacity.

China installed a record 53 gigawatts of solar power capacity last year, according to National Energy Administration data. The nation may add as much as 65 gigawatts this year based on the most optimistic scenario, Bloomberg New Energy Finance forecasts.

Government’s Burden

As of the end of last year, China owed solar developers 100 billion yuan in subsidies as surcharges to electricity billsaren’t enough to cover the handouts, Cheng Chenlu, an official at the National Energy Administration, said in January.

China should also cut taxes for the photovoltaicpower industry as the country needs energy transition and a reduction in air pollution, Liu said on Sunday. He asked for China to rely on a market-basedsystem to determine the scale of solar power installations rather than setting project quotas.

Turning to U.S. duties against solar equipment made outside the country, Liu said they could end up hurting the U.S. as well as other nations.
