The multiple functions - photovoltaic power generation, ecological restoration, and boosting growth - of the photovoltaic power plant projects explore pathways for green and low-carbon development and environmental governance, which provides a Chinese solution to global desertification prevention and control, the Economic Daily reported in January.

The 2025 National Energy Work Conference made it clear that this year, there will be a strong push to promote the development and utilization of wind and solar energy. China is poised to significantly boost investments in the wind power and photovoltaic sectors, fostering technological innovation and industrial advancement to enhance the efficient progress of the construction of major new-energy bases in sandy areas, rocky areas, and deserts. With support policies and rising market demand, a more comprehensive green energy industry chain is anticipated to emerge, establishing a robust foundation for achieving China's "dual carbon" goals.
