Challenges and opportunities for long-distance renewable energy

China is divided into seven regions in the planning according to geographical conditions: North China (NC), Northeast China (NE), East China (EC), Central China (CC), South China (SC), Southwest China (SW) and Northwest China (NW) [67]. The wind and solar energy resources in NW and NC are abundant, and the hydropower resources in SW are abundant.

Levelized cost of energy modeling for concentrated solar power

The current VAT rate for renewable energy power generation projects is 8.5% in China. Solar energy is a clean, no-cost renewable energy, with a zero-emission technology that offers environmental positives concerning CO 2 and other emissions [49]. Therefore, if the CSP project case can obtain the tax support of VAT exemption, the LCOE of CSP

China''s Renewable Energy Law and its impact on renewable power in China

Expanding the share of renewable energy in its energy mix is one of the key pillars of China''s low-carbon development strategy.
