State Grid Poverty Alleviation Microfilm

What is the National Poverty Alleviation Programme?

In the 1990s, the National Poverty Alleviation Programme was also conducted, involving the distribution of household photovoltaic systems to meet the needs in southwestern China (Dunford et al., 2013).

Will village-level poverty alleviation power stations contribute to China's photovoltaic poverty relief programme?

In the next few years, the development of village-level poverty alleviation power stations will constitute the main direction for China's photovoltaic poverty alleviation programme. The village power stations overcome several bottlenecks that have long troubled photovoltaic projects and greatly reduce project development difficulties.

Are photovoltaic power stations a good option for poverty alleviation projects?

At present, the per unit benchmark prices for a photovoltaic poverty alleviation power station (0.50 MW and below) and the per unit subsidy for household distributed photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects remain unchanged, conferring on these projects a great advantage.

What is a micro-grid based on a photovoltaic power plant?

After the intervention, renewable energy resources (solar photovoltaic) were expected to cover approximately 60% of the total electricity demand. To comply with this, a micro-grid composed of a photovoltaic power plant of 23 kW p, a battery energy storage system of 27 kW/127 kWh, and a diesel generator of 108 kW was implemented.

Does China's targeted poverty alleviation strategy increase per-capita disposable income?

To provide new understanding of China’s targeted poverty alleviation strategy, we use a panel dataset of 211 pilot counties that received targeted PV investments from 2013 to 2016, and find that the PV poverty alleviation pilot policy increases per-capita disposable income in a county by approximately 7%-8%.

Does regional macroeconomic performance affect poverty alleviation?

Better regional macroeconomic performance may have a positive spillover effect on poverty alleviation. In terms of degree of market development, due to differences in natural endowments and environments, regional economic context and national policies, the degree of marketization varies across China.
