This existing network facilitates the distribution and transmission of solar energy, said Lin Boqiang, head of the China Institute for Studies in Energy Policy at Xiamen University. Shanxi's established industrial base, including energy-intensive industries, provides a ready market for locally generated solar power, he said.
He believes that by leveraging these advantages, Shanxi province is well-positioned to lead in the development of solar energy, contributing to its economic transition and supporting China's broader renewable energy goals.
"Over the last decade, Shanxi's wind and solar energy share in total installed power capacity has grown from 6 percent in 2013 to over 38 percent in 2023, and we are expecting this number to further grow to 52 percent by 2026," she said. Figures released by the consultancy show that Shanxi put 8 gigawatts new solar capacity into operation in 2023.
As a province historically reliant on coal, Shanxi has a strong incentive to diversify its economy. The development of solar energy provides an opportunity to shift toward more sustainable and less polluting energy sources, creating new economic opportunities, he said.
