Will China speed up wind and solar power generation in dry regions?

As China plans to speed up construction of solar and wind power generation facilities in dry regions amid efforts to boost renewable power, the government launched the first phase of its wind and solar power projects at the end of 2021, comprising a total of 100 gigawatts of wind and solar power capacity in desert areas.

How much solar power does China have?

The newly added installed capacity of wind power rose to 10.4 million kW while that of solar power rose to 33.66 million kW, it said. In the first quarter, China's total installed capacity of renewable energy reached 1.26 billion kW, including 376 million kW of wind power and 425 million kW of photovoltaic power.

How to develop PV solar farms in China?

Land use policy for developing PV solar farms in China. Different from most developed countries, in China, urban lands are owned by the country, and rural lands are collective ownership. For this reason, the development of PV solar farms highly relies on the land use policy introduced by the government.

Will China slow down the growth of PV & wind power?

There is also a chance that the growth of PV and wind power in China slows down owing to decreasing governmental subsides 20, a lack of transmission infrastructure 6 and restrictions for protecting agricultural, industrial and urban lands 21.

What is the capacity of PV & wind power plants in 2021–2060?

In a baseline scenario, the capacity of individual PV and wind power plants is limited to 10 GW without electricity transmission and energy storage, whereas the growth rate of PV and wind power is constant during 2021–2060 without considering the dynamics of learning.

Are there gaps in solar energy?

The literature survey reveals that clear gaps still exist in the field of solar energy. In the next three decades, the solar PV field can advance to become the second prominent generation source by constructing more solar farms, allowing countries to generate approximately 25% of the world's total electricity needs by 2050.
