Solar power generation policy analysis

What is the policy related to solar energy development?

The only policy related to solar energy development is the supply-side R&D policy to promote and follow the development of solar technology. For the demand-side, Solar PV was planned by the government as the solution for non-electricity remote areas.

How are photovoltaic power generation policies evaluated?

Initially, the evaluation of photovoltaic power generation policies mainly focused on qualitative evaluations, which revealed existing problems by sorting the types of policies and summarizing the impacts of their implementation ( Huo and Zhang, 2012; Grau et al., 2012; Zhang et al., 2014; Yang and Zhao, 2018; Gao and Rai, 2019 ).

Who formulates policies on photovoltaic power generation?

Nevertheless, policies on photovoltaic power generation have been mainly formulated by a single department: the National Development and Reform Commission or the National Energy Administration. In addition, as shown in Fig. 1, before 2009, there were no multiple departments formulating or issuing policies without synergy between departments.

What are the key events affecting solar energy policy?

The analysis identifies key events and major policy shifts, such as the anti-dumping investigations in 2011, feed-in tariff rebates, the release of the "13th Five-Year Plan" for Solar Energy Development in 2016, and the "carbon peak and carbon neutrality aims" (dual carbon aims) proposed in 2021.

What are the policy goals of photovoltaic power generation?

The policy goals of photovoltaic power generation are divided into three aspects: improving technology and promoting production, promoting construction and application, and guaranteeing and maintaining application effects.

Are photovoltaic power generation policy Synergy based on text mining?

A quantitative analysis of policy synergy based on text mining We quantitatively examine photovoltaic power generation policy synergies in China. This study expands the existing quantitative research on policy content analysis. China employs strong administrative power approaches, such as macro planning.
