China, which has seen the renewable energy sector grow rapidly in recent years, is facing increasing difficulties in installing solar panels, especially in rural areas. Karma. Central government restrictions on land use have created obstacles for the renewable energy industry in the country.
China is struggling to access land for renewable energy projects in its country. This threatens the rapid growth in this booming sector. The National Energy Administration (NEA) calls for additional policy support for the growth of the country’s renewable energy sector, which is facing increasing difficulty in installing solar panels. , especially in rural areas.
The rapid development of renewable energy industry in China
In recent years, China has seen rapid growth in the renewable energy sector thanks to an ambitious initiative aimed at increasing the country’s renewable energy capacity. Currently, renewable energy accounts for 31.3% of China’s total electricity supply capacity. Last year, China installed 152 gigawatts (GW) of renewable capacity, or 76.2% of total new energy capacity.
Renewable energy projects have difficulty accessing land
However, the rapid development of the renewable energy industry in China has to compete in land use with other sectors, especially agriculture. As a result, it is increasingly difficult to own land use rights to install solar panels, especially in the eastern and central regions of China. Central government restrictions on land use were rigidly applied by local governments. This makes it difficult for developers of renewable energy projects.
Call for additional policy support for the development of the renewable energy sector
To ensure the rapid development of the renewable energy industry in China, the National Energy Administration (NEA) calls for additional policy support. China needs to remove construction barriers and promote grid integration to ensure the first large-scale wind and solar power facilities are put into operation on time. The country aims to build 450 GW of wind and solar power generation capacity in Gobi and other desert regions, and increase total wind and solar capacity to at least 1,200 GW by 2030. , while reducing carbon emissions.
Renewable energy accounts for more than 50% of electricity generation capacity by 2025
China also pledged that renewable energy will account for more than 50% of its electricity generation capacity by 2025. To achieve the goal, it is important that the Chinese government take measures to ensure the development of electricity. continuous development of renewable energy sources.
