The solar energy for poverty alleviation programme (SEPAP) initiative aims to add over 10 GW capacity and benefit more than 2 million households from around 35,000 villages across the country by 2020. This working paper traces the emergence and implementation of the initiative through discourse analysis of policy documents.
3.1 Research questions and scientometric analysis. Currently, it is a common view that with increasing income per capita and decreasing poverty, there is a growing need for excessive energy-intensive products for human and economic activities (Balsalobre-Lorente et al., 2023).The application of solar technology has received an exceptional focus from
• We analyzed the role of solar PV to livelihood improvements in rural China. • We quantified the poverty reduction effect of solar PV poverty alleviation. • The poverty
Solar energy holds signicant potential for alleviating poverty, tackling climate change and providing aordable clean energy, contributing to multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. However, limited research has systematically reviewed the progress in the eld of solar photovoltaics and poverty (PV–PO). To address this gap, this
Researchers assessed the effect of solar energy projects on poverty in China and determined that PV systems can play a role in reducing multiple dimensions of poverty while also contributing to
To understand the drivers of SEPAP — why it was launched when it was — it is worth understanding three major contexts: the persistence of rural poverty in China, in the context of a political push for poverty alleviation; the overcapacity and curtailment in China''s solar energy industry, and consequent need to encourage distributed solar PV installation; and the current

As an important new tool for ecological poverty alleviation, carbon trading compensation is combining ecological protection with rural poverty alleviation. This paper evaluates the poverty alleviation impact of China''s pilot carbon emissions trading schemes (ETS) at the provincial level before and after the program, which was implemented from 2007 to 2017.
documents have covered China''s PV poverty alleviation, and they all emphasize the combing and summarization of policies (Geall et al., 2018; Li et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2018a) .

Are building regulations the same thing as planning permission? Building regulations are not the same thing as planning permission. Whereas building regulations compel
In the Program, instead of providing cash or other material support to poor households, the governments help each poor household install a solar PV station, such as rooftop solar PV panels, of 5 kW and guarantee buy back the electricity at fixed prices (NDRC et al., 2016).Over the expected PV panel''s life of 20 years, the poor households will have certain
examine the potential of solar PV for energy poverty alleviation through a scalar lens: What role does scale play in low-carbon energy transitions and what is its impact on energy justice?

Our results are robust to alternative specifications and variable definitions. We propose several policy recommendations to sustain progress in China''s efforts to deploy PV
Aiming at targeted poverty alleviation using photovoltaic power in China, a series of policy documents have been successively promulgated: In 2014, The National Energy Administration and the State Council Poverty Relief Development Leading Group Office jointly printed and issued The Work Scheme on Carrying out PV-based Poverty Relief Projects,
This paper discusses one of China''s targeted poverty alleviation programs, namely the Solar Energy for Poverty Alleviation Program (SEPAP). SEPAP is an important and innovative policy that enables poor households to earn additional income by installing solar panels and selling the generated electricity to the grid. However, there are still
The solar PV poverty alleviation plan mainly consists of two models. One is the rooftop solar power generation model pending on the solar resource intensity of the region, the state helps impoverished households willing to adopt solar PV by installing at least 3-5 kW solar power systems on their rooftops .These households can then sell electricity to the
Since poverty is a global problem and poverty alleviation attracts worldwide attention, especially in developing countries, many scholars associate it with economic growth and diversification of poverty alleviation
Built on existing energy and poverty reduction policies, the National Energy Administration (NEA) and the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development (OPAD) proposed to reduce rural poverty by deploying PV systems in poor regions and precisely targeting at poor households (National Energy Administration, 2014a, National
In response to the last-mile problem in building a “moderately prosperous society,” the Chinese central government urged all sectors at all levels to contribute to Targeted Poverty Alleviation (TPA), a program that is dedicated to lifting all people out of poverty by 2020 (Liu, Guo, & Zhou, 2018).Specifically, the Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development
In 2014, China announced an ambitious plan to help alleviate rural poverty through deploying distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in poor areas. The solar energy for poverty
Based on 1251 household surveys collected in photovoltaic (PV) poverty alleviation areas in rural China, this paper explores the effects of PV cognition including ecological values, perceived
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.
To synergize climate mitigation with poverty alleviation, China has implemented photovoltaic poverty alleviation (PVPA) projects since 2014, with Anhui Province being among the initial pilot regions.
Of ten poverty alleviation measures, photovoltaic poverty alleviation is the one with main objectives to make use of regional solar energy resource endowments to increase income in residents (Yang and Zhao, 2018). From the results in this work, it is obvious that the GDP per capita and household savings per capita in most provinces are lower than in the
The emphasis on the catalytic role of energy in poverty alleviation (Venema and Rehman, 2007) shaped the policy and funding priorities of India''s national government during the early 2000s, particularly with the push for ''power for all''. This created windows of opportunity for DREs to be mainstreamed into the national energy regime, as seen in major energy legislation

Recognizing the synergies within the energy-poverty-climate nexus, China has implemented photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects (PVPA) to combine renewable energy development with poverty reduction.
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%.
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.
It also had a bigger impact in the poorest counties. The Chinese government aims to install more than 10 GW of PV capacity under its solar energy for poverty alleviation program (SEPAP), especially in the poorest parts of eastern China, to benefit more than 2 million people by the end of this year.
The PV poverty alleviation effect is stronger in poorer regions, particularly in Eastern China. Our results are robust to alternative specifications and variable definitions. We propose several policy recommendations to sustain progress in China's efforts to deploy PV for poverty alleviation.
The solar energy for poverty alleviation programme (SEPAP), which is positioned as an integral component of China's political campaign to eradicate poverty by 2020, aims to add over 10 GW capacity and benefit more than 2 million households from around 35,000 villages across the country by 2020.
