Research on Issues and Policy Evaluative Factors of Implementing Distributed Photovoltaic Power Generation in Frontier Rural Areas of China

This paper firstly analyzes the evaluative factors of relevant policies in implementing distributed photovoltaic power generation in frontier rural areas of China based on prior study. Then, by using these factors, the author investigates the first pilot project for poverty alleviation with distributed photovoltaic power generation in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. According to the investigation, the effects of this project are embodied in its policy implications, that is, having a positive effect on energy security and national amalgamation of China. In view of the financial difficulty faced by the project, this paper puts forward constructive suggestions for improvement learning from the experience of photovoltaic power generation project in Iida City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. In the future, promoting diversified social capital injection and villagers’ participation in the implementation of the project will be a crucial task.
