Why does China have a large-scale Solar Energy Curtailment problem?

Because China is of a large amount of the installed solar capacity, the existing large-scale solar energy curtailment problem have greatly affected the development of the solar power industry (e.g. the investors' profits) and the long-term development of the China's clean energy policy.

Is solar energy a problem in the northwest of China?

The problem in the northwest of China is serious, especially in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Gansu province. The government has released a series of the policies and regulations to solve the solar energy curtailment.

What is the Solar Energy Curtailment rate in Xinjiang and Gansu?

The rate of solar energy curtailment of Xinjiang and Gansu reached 32.23% and 30.45% respectively, being the top two provinces in the whole country. In 2017, the quantity of solar energy curtailment in both Xinjiang and Gansu accounts for 70% of the northwest of China, and the utilization hours were the lowest among those years. Table 9.

Why is Solar Energy Curtailment a problem in Gansu province?

By the end of 2016, the generated power of renewable energies (excluding hydropower) in Gansu province was 19.57 GW , which is one point five times of the maximum electric load of the whole society in Gansu province. Hence, the limiated capacity of the current transmission lines is one of the reasons for the problem of solar energy curtailment.

Could solar power power China in 2060?

Researchers from Harvard, Tsinghua University in Beijing, Nankai University in Tianjin and Renmin University of China in Beijing have found that solar energy could provide 43.2% of China’s electricity demands in 2060 at less than two-and-a-half U.S. cents per kilowatt-hour.
