Poverty alleviation and environmental improvement are two important targets which most developing countries try to achieve. In order to promote the poverty alleviation by using clean energy sources, this paper develops a joint poverty alleviation project including the green energy investment company (GEIC), solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant (SPP) and wind
Current studies on site selection and potential benefits primarily focus on electricity generation and emission reduction. Some research has evaluated the environmental benefits of existing PV installations (Xu et al., 2024).However, there is a lack of multifaceted assessments considering future scenarios of poverty alleviation, emission reduction, and ecosystem services.
We use a unique micro dataset from the period of 2014–2021 to evaluate China''s Photovoltaic Poverty Allevi-ation (PVPA) program. By employing a difference-in-differences strategy, we find
This article analyzes the extent to which the operation of on-grid solar power plants found in Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal, and South Africa is a vector for sustainable development. Our results give us the opportunity to identify the role of governments in enhancing solar PV sustainability for poverty alleviation. Our

With imbalanced economic development among different regions, China''s impoverished population reached 55.75 million in 2015. In order to enhance the annual income of impoverished people to over 3000 RMB per capita, the specific poverty alleviation fund provided by the central government in 2016 was raised to 67 billion RMB .Helping the rural poor
The development of photovoltaic poverty-relief power stations provides a new way for China''s precision poverty alleviation. PV poverty alleviation has a “hematopoietic function”, and is a clean energy which can play a positive role in the protection of the environment. PV power plant not only broadens the new channels for farmers to increase income, but also

At present, the per unit benchmark prices for a photovoltaic poverty alleviation power station (0.50 MW and below) and the per unit subsidy for household distributed photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects remain unchanged, conferring on these projects a great advantage.
In the next few years, the development of village-level poverty alleviation power stations will constitute the main direction for China's photovoltaic poverty alleviation programme. The village power stations overcome several bottlenecks that have long troubled photovoltaic projects and greatly reduce project development difficulties.
The income generated from the power stations is spent entirely on alleviating poverty. As of the end of 2020, 100,000 villages across China had installed PV power stations, generating a total of 18.65 million KW of electricity and bringing an average annual income of 200,000 yuan (about $30,000) for each village.
As a part of an environmentally concerned development strategy, the photovoltaic poverty alleviation in China is adopted to lift households above the extreme poverty line by 2020.
There lacks a comprehensive analysis on the large-scale deployment of solar photovoltaic projects and its impact on poverty alleviation. Here the authors show that solar photovoltaic poverty alleviation pilot policy increases per-capita disposable income in a county by approximately 7%-8%.
Along with attempts to increase the stability of the development of the solar energy industry, government regulation could ensure that the scale of the photovoltaic poverty alleviation market remains stable, paying more attention to the quality and effectiveness of power stations.
