The problem of PV energy curtailment appeared in 2014 in the northwest of China, and a large-scale of solar energy curtailment happened in 2015 . The problem become more serious between 2016 and 2017.
According to the target of the “13th Five-Year Plan on solar energy development of China” between 2016 and 2020, the installed capacity of PV power will reach 110 GW by the end of the year 2020 [6, p. 11].
The problem in the northwest of China is serious, especially in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Gansu province. The government has released a series of the policies and regulations to solve the solar energy curtailment.
As China has the world's largest installed capacity of solar energy, the development of the solar power generation in China will have a profound impact on the healthy development of the global solar power industry. Based on the China's experience, the following suggestions are given for the other countries:
According to the statistics released by the National Energy Administration (NEA) in 2017, the cumulative installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in the northwest of China was 35.03 GW , accounting for 26.89% of the total installed capacity of PV power generation in the whole country.
The cumulative installed capacity of China accounts for 33.77% of the global PV installed capacity. Specifically, China owns abundant solar energy resources due to its broad areas with rich solar radiation. Supported by the Chinese government, the photovoltaic industry system has made continuous progress with the significant improvement.

As much as 70 per cent of India''s solar power generation capacity is powered by Chinese equipment, according to industry estimates. Indian companies are already required by law to use locally
China continues to raise its national goals for solar power generation. In 2007, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued its Mid- and Long-Term Plan for Renewable Energy Development, which aimed at achieving a solar power capacity of 0.3 GWp by 2010, and 1.8 GWp by 2020 and had been accomplished now. Five years later, the 12th
Renewable sources of energy include wind, solar, hydropower, and others. According to IRENA''s 2021 global energy transition perspective, the 36.9 Gt CO 2 annual emission reduction by 2050 is possible if the six technological avenues of energy transition components are followed; those include onshore and offshore wind energy, solar PV,
China is expected to increase curbs on renewable power plant output due to grid capacity issues. The curtailment rates, known as curbs, are likely to rise this year and slow down China''s energy transition. The State Grid''s pledge to keep curtailment rates within 5% by 2020 has been challenging due to surging solar and wind installations. Investment in power
Recent data on wind power installed capacity and generation in China shows a mismatch. Policy incentives and lower costs have increased installed capacity, not generation. Lack of transmission capacity contributes to low capacity factor of wind farms. Lack of incentives for transmission companies causes wind power curtailment. Enforcement of existing laws and
Subsequently, based on the established framework for the clean evolution of China''s power structure and the planning data for wind, solar, hydropower, and thermal power generation by the end of China''s 14th Five-Year Plan outlined in the Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality in China, we calculated the proportion scenarios for these power sources in China in

Two factors have contributed to the ongoing ''power crunch'' situation in the country. A rise in coal prices has caused power generators to trim their production capacity despite an increase in power demand. In addition, some provinces have had to halt their electricity supplies to meet emission and energy intensity goals.
