Does China have a potential for solar PV power station installation & generation?

The results of this study indicated that China, as one of the fast-growing countries in the global south, shows outstanding potential for solar PV power station installation and generation potential.

How many ground-mounted PV power stations are there in China?

According to our dataset, China has a total of 2467.7 km 2 ground-mounted PV power stations in 2020. The top three largest provinces refer to Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Qinghai, whose PV area ratio are 14.92%, 12.49% and 11.26%, respectively, with a total of nearly 40% of all the PV power stations of China.

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.

Where are PV power stations located in China?

It should also be noted that with the rapid development of China’s PV industry, increasingly more eastern provinces built large-scale PV power stations, including Jiangsu, Anhui and Shandong Province. Areas of PV power stations for each province of China.

Will China's energy system reach 5 PWh by 2060?

Following the historical rates of renewable installation 1, a recent high-resolution energy-system model 6 and forecasts based on China’s 14th Five-year Energy Development (CFED) 7, however, only indicate that the capacity will reach 5–9.5 PWh year −1 by 2060.

Are consolidated land parcels suitable for PV installation in China?

The results indicate that while a total area of 425,191 km2 is considered developable for PV installation in China, only 23% of that area (128,588 km 2) are consolidated land parcels which are suitable for developing large-scale PV power plants.
