Most of the solar power in Northwest China is generated inutility-scale solar power plants, which led to power production that exceeded the targeted level in recent years. At the same time, the local demand for electricity was not growing enough to match with the rise of power supply.
The Chinese government has demonstrated a significant commitment to the advancement of renewable energy, particularly solar energy, over the past two decades. The nation has an installed solar power capacity of 393,032 MW.
As discussed in the previous sections, China was able to dominate the solar industry market. Incentives and government subsidies dating from 2009 onwards helped secure the lead in the world for solar power production since 2017 (Liu et al., 2022; Chowdhury et al., 2020).
Due to rising awareness and technological advancements, solar power is being increasingly invested in throughout the world. China has an abundance of solar energy resources. If the resources of energy are adequately used, it can resolve any energy difficulties. Energy is the foundation of a nation’s socioeconomic progress.
The increased installed capacity, the heavy manufacturing, and the availability of materials on its domestic land allowed China to control the global solar market by imposing quotas and restrictions on importing countries. We have shown that China alone installed more than 50 % of the total Asian solar capacity in the span of 25 years.
Since the solar power rejection problem was mostly concentrated in Northwest China, lacking specific solutions for certain regions cannot effectively solve the origin of the problem. The previously high curtailment rate revealed that solar power is currently at overcapacity in China.
