Based on field research and interviews with local experts, the report identifies that while Guangdong has significant rooftop resources and favorable economic conditions for distributed PV development, growth has slowed due to unclear business models and financing difficulties, particularly for small commercial and residential installations. The paper recommends innovative financing mechanisms, carbon finance integration, and supportive policy environments to unlock Guangdong&#039;s distributed PV potential.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desc2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"span2\">Suggested citation:<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"span3\">Yang Peng, Xi Xi.

The analysis employs multiple classification frameworks\u2014economic-geographic regions, economic development stages (Pioneer, Leading, Catching-Up, and Developing Economies), national major regional strategies, and energy development positioning\u2014to identify structural divergences in transition patterns. It finds that scores improved across all provinces, with carbon productivity, energy, and power showing nationwide progress while transport, buildings, and industry remain key frontiers for deep decarbonization. The report also presents in-depth case studies of Guangdong, Jiangxi, Shanxi, and Hainan to examine differentiated transition pathways across economic development stages.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"span1\">Report<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"date\">JUN 2026<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"picbox\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1082\" src=\"https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-1.42.45-PM-768x1082.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-1.42.45-PM-768x1082.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-1.42.45-PM-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-1.42.45-PM-727x1024.jpg 727w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-1.42.45-PM-1090x1536.jpg 1090w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-1.42.45-PM.jpg 1124w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zgjtb.com\/zhuanti\/2026-05\/06\/content_515948.html\" class=\"con\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"txt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tit\">Hainan&#8217;s Model for Promoting the Adoption of Battery-Swap Heavy-Duty Trucks<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desc\">Hainan has built and put into operation 37 battery-swapping stations for heavy-duty trucks, providing basic coverage of the island\u2019s main highways and key industrial parks, thereby effectively advancing the transition of new-energy heavy-duty trucks from pilot projects in typical application scenarios to full-scale electrification across the region.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"span1\">Op-ed<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"date\">MAY 2026<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"picbox\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/edwin-rodriguez-UeUc2ei0GOw-unsplash-768x512.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/edwin-rodriguez-UeUc2ei0GOw-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/edwin-rodriguez-UeUc2ei0GOw-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/edwin-rodriguez-UeUc2ei0GOw-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/edwin-rodriguez-UeUc2ei0GOw-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/edwin-rodriguez-UeUc2ei0GOw-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/insights\/medium-and-long-term-outlook-for-low-carbon-transition-in-tianjin-using-eps-modeling\/\" class=\"con\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"txt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tit\">Medium and Long-Term Outlook for Low-Carbon Transition in Tianjin Using EPS Modeling<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desc\">This report assesses the low-carbon transition pathway for Tianjin Municipality under China&#039;s carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, using the Energy Policy Simulator (EPS) model to quantify energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission trajectories to 2060.

The EPS Tianjin 2024 model covers five core sectors: power, industry, transport, buildings, and land use and forestry, capturing inter-sectoral linkages and mitigation potentials. The analysis identifies critical areas and priority policies for achieving carbon neutrality, assesses investment requirements, and evaluates the economic and employment impacts of the transition.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"span1\">Report Summary<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"date\">APR 2026<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"picbox\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1091\" src=\"https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-11-at-9.42.22-PM-768x1091.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-11-at-9.42.22-PM-768x1091.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-11-at-9.42.22-PM-211x300.jpg 211w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-11-at-9.42.22-PM-721x1024.jpg 721w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-11-at-9.42.22-PM-1082x1536.jpg 1082w, https:\/\/www.igdp.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-11-at-9.42.22-PM.jpg 1128w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This working paper examines the development of distributed photovoltaic power in Guangdong Province, analyzing current trends, challenges, and future opportunities.
