The findings of this study contribute new empirical and theoretical insights to the global literature on energy poverty alleviation, particularly in rural developing contexts where income
This analysis used tracking data from households both with photovoltaic equipment installed and without in “S Town,” Jiangsu Province, from 2017 to 2021. The results indicate that
The results show that the PV poverty alleviation policy leads to increases of 3.2% in GDP and 5.3% in GDP per capita, respectively, in targeted poverty counties. These findings are robust across multiple
The PV poverty alleviation effect is stronger in poorer regions, particularly in Eastern China. Our results are robust to alternative specifications and variable definitions.
To address this gap, this paper aims to reveal the status, collaborative networks, research hotspots, trends and challenges by conducting a scientometric analysis based on 468 academic
By the end of 2019, in China, the task of PPAP construction had been fully completed, with 26.36 million kWh of (PV) photovoltaic power plants having been built and 4.15 million households benefitting. This
Here, we present a comprehensive assessment of the emission-reducing and income-increasing effects of the PVPA policy using estimated carbon emission factors and a staggered
Since 2014, Chinese energy regulators have announced an ambitious plan to help alleviate rural poverty by deploying distributed solar photovoltaic systems in poor areas.
Poverty-alleviation programs using solar energy (PAPSE) are poised to unlock unprecedented capital investments with significant potential to reconcile the energy–poverty–climate
Researchers from the University of Zurich and Wuhan University have assessed how solar energy resources affect social and economic development to reduce poverty in China, using
