> it's all through subsidy of generation rather than directly of manufacture
At least at the federal level, this seems to be the case.
> it's identical to Western-style renewable subsidies?
At least early on, most Western subsidies didn’t discriminate based on where the panel was produced. We also don’t have visibility into provincial books, where if how they treat coal is any indication, where the plants are there to buy coal from their coal mines, there is probably cross subsidy.
But given what we know, one could argue they’re structurally similar, at least in respect to what we’re doing now.
