Share
Large numbers of energy projects have been built across China to give a leg up to the country s poverty alleviation efforts, and remarkable progress has been made.
Photovoltaic (PV) power stations are now an important source of income for many impoverished regions in China. At present, China s poverty alleviation PV power stations add up to 26.36 GW, benefiting nearly 60,000 poor villages and 4.15 million impoverished households. They generate revenue of around 18 billion yuan ($2.79 billion) each year. Village-level PV stations can help each village increase annual income by 200,000 yuan.
