Photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects (PPAPs) 1. Introduction With the increasing consumption of fossil energy and changes in the ecological environment, it is of increasing significance to meeting the energy demands required for industrial and economic development with clean and efficient power generation .
China’s photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects (PPAPs) aim to help alleviate poverty by using the new energy power generation. In recent years, the PPAPs have flourished with the strong support of the Chinese government, becoming an integral strategy for the support of rural industries.
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.
In 2014, the National Energy Administration and the State Council Poverty Relief Development Leading Group Office jointly issued The Work Scheme on Carrying out Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation Project, dedicated to launching a nationwide PV poverty alleviation pilot project.
Solar PV and poverty alleviation Solar energy is considered to be one of the most sustainable and renewable sources of energy. Some scholars have made preliminary explorations on the application of solar PV for poverty reduction in the rest of the world.
The research results are consistent with the following conclusions: PV poverty alleviation is related to reducing energy poverty, and the effect of reducing energy poverty is more obvious in areas with richer sunlight resources. In this regard, the hypothesis H 5 is verified. Table 9. Heterogeneity analysis of sunlight endowments.
