Photovoltaic power generation and wind power policy

Do China's new energy policies affect wind and photovoltaic power generation?

Wind and photovoltaic power generation are the typical representatives of new energy in China , so the following quantitative analysis of these two new energy policies is based on policy content and policy strength, and we study the impact of policies on wind, photovoltaic power, and new energy development through comparative analysis.

What is the wind and PV power generation potential of China?

The wind and PV power generation potential of China is about 95.84 PWh, which is approximately 13 times the electricity demand of China in 2020. The rich areas of wind power generation are mainly distributed in the western, northern, and coastal provinces of China.

Are photovoltaic power generation policies effective?

Existing qualitative research on photovoltaic power generation policies has preferred sorting, summarizing, and performing comparative analyses of policies, focusing on their effectiveness and efficiency. Meanwhile, policy synergies have been ignored when studying the effectiveness of photovoltaic power generation policies.

Are wind and photovoltaic power generation representatives of new energy?

Therefore, this paper selects wind and photovoltaic power generation as the representatives of new energy to sort out systematically the relevant regulations and institutional quality that support the development of wind and photovoltaic power generation and analyze the impact of new energy institutional systems on carbon reduction.

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.

How much power is generated by wind & PV in 2021?

By the end of 2021, the grid-connected wind and PV power installed capacity reached 328 GW and 306 GW respectively. The annual cumulative power generation of wind and PV power reached 978.5 billion kWh, up 35% year-on-year, accounting for 11.7% of the total power generation, an increase of 2.2 percentage point over the previous year (Fig. 1).
