Land use policy for developing PV solar farms in China. Different from most developed countries, in China, urban lands are owned by the country, and rural lands are collective ownership. For this reason, the development of PV solar farms highly relies on the land use policy introduced by the government.
While most PV projects in China are land-based due to solar energy's dispersed nature, there's an increasing focus on maximizing ‘water’ resources like oceans, lakes, reservoirs, and subsidence zones to improve land use efficiency .
China, being the largest developing country and the largest PV utilization country, has been actively pursuing the adoption of PV technology to meet its growing energy demands while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the vigorous development of PV projects requires substantial land resources, which are relatively scarce.
To support the healthy development of the PV power industry and clarify land use management policies, the Chinese State Council, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the National Energy Administration, and other departments have formulated several policy documents before and after to guide matters related to land use in the PV industry.
According to the land use policy in China, unused lands, such as deserts, gobi, and wastelands, were considered most suitable for constructing PV solar farms. Using unused lands such as Gobi, desert and wasteland to build PV plants can reduce the construction cost of photovoltaic projects and improve the economy.
March 28 (Reuters) - China will accelerate the construction of large scale solar energy plants and standardise the planning and development of land for solar projects, the natural resources ministry said on Tuesday.
