On May 24, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced preliminarily findings that improper incentives for wind, solar, and hydroelectric energy producers are available in California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, and Washington. The finding, coming on the heels of the US Department of Commerce’s May 17 finding that Chinese producers were dumping solar panels on the US market, mentioned six projects that were studied but announced no next-steps. The next day, China announced that it would take the solar panel dispute, and a separate wind tower dispute, to the WTO for dispute proceedings.
