High-tech Zone Solar Power Station Subsidy

Are government subsidies promoting green technologies?

Given the global concern about the existential threat posed by climate change, government subsidies aimed at spurring green technologies and the green transition—from solar panels to electric vehicles—can play a greater role. And the number of subsidies with green objectives is indeed increasing, according to the World Bank’s new .

Do government subsidies affect photovoltaic industry?

We apply spatial econometric model to analyze the performance of government subsidies on photovoltaic industry. The installed capacity of photovoltaics has shown a significant spatial agglomeration situation since 2012. The feed-in tariff and R&D subsidy policies play a positive incentive to the photovoltaic installed capacity.

How does the government use PV subsidies?

The government uses PV subsidies to encourage distributed PV power generation applications to achieve more PV power generation instead of thermal power generation and promote PV industry development.

Should government subsidies support PV supply chain companies?

When supported by government subsidies, the government should give full consideration to the power structure of the PV supply chain companies, and the relationship of equal status of supply chain companies is most conducive to the government's implementation of PV subsidies.

What is the subsidy reduction range for commercial PV power plants?

The subsidy reduction range of latter two stages exceeds 40 percentage, highlighting the accelerated rate of subsidy reduction for the commercial power plants. In light of commercial PV power plants, we simulate four scenarios for the SEPAP program subsidy strategies.

What is the gap of subsidy in the PV industry?

Statistics reveal that the gap of subsidy in the PV industry reached 60 billion yuan in 2018. If no measures are taken, the subsidies for PV industry may reach 250 billion yuan by 2020. The renewable subsidies in a number of countries show the reduction trends with the increasing years, examples include Germany and the U.S..
