The impact of photovoltaic poverty alleviation policy (PPAP) on household energy poverty is empirically investigated. The panel data of a tracking survey from 2010 to 2018 is used, and the high-dimensional fixed effect model is employed. PPAP contributed positively to alleviating household energy poverty.
Therefore, based on the research results, the following policy recommendations for rural PV energy construction are made: 1. The publicity and popularization of poverty alleviation policies should be increased. There is a need for public enthusiasm for participation, which will help drive the renewable energy revolution.
The solar energy for poverty alleviation program (SEPAP) in China aims to add over 10 GW of solar capacity to benefit over 2 million citizens by 2020 4.
We propose several policy recommendations to sustain progress in China's efforts to deploy PV for poverty alleviation. China's economy has undergone an unprecedented transformation over the past two decades. During this transformation, China has made rapid progress in reducing poverty.
To synergize climate mitigation with poverty alleviation, China has implemented photovoltaic poverty alleviation (PVPA) projects since 2014, with Anhui Province being among the initial pilot regions.
