State Grid will be responsible for the cost of theconnection design and the national grid's modifications.
The cost for one network access point of the connection is 420,000 yuan ($67,100), and 10points will be needed for a PV solar project of 1 mW, according to Wang Sicheng, a researcherat the Energy Research Institute under the National Development and Reform Commission.
