The goal of this project is to carry out a continuous study of renewable energy and its integration of poverty alleviation topics in China. The performance and efficiency of policy experimentation by the Chinese government was thought by previous researchers to be highly dependent on context especially in terms of "finish in time" or "vigorous promotion." For example, the promotion of renewable energy and poverty alleviation policies has led to arguments of whether or not it is recentralization or fragmented authoritarianism. Under the existing governance structure of the Chinese government, the central government considers pilot programs to be a policy goal rather than a policy tool. The strategies adopted by local governments in response to central polices are therefore diverse and fraught with risk. Existing researches also have the following gaps: (1) The policy considerations and strategic analysis for different levels of "local" government remain unclear; (2) the integration of renewable energy and poverty alleviation policies is an emerging phenomenon where an analysis of the promotion strategies used by local governments (Guizhou Province) is lacking in past research. Guizhou Province is a province representative of the Chinese government's current "precision poverty alleviation" efforts. "Distributed wind power" and "poverty alleviation with PV" in particular have been strongly promoted in recent years. The construction of renewable energy facilities was used to enhance the results of poverty alleviation. Paradoxically, Guizhou Province has an energy self-sufficiency rate of 139.52% (2017). The curtailment rate for wind power reached 1.1% (2018) and up to 31.18% (2017) of energy generated was transmitted to other provinces. In spite of these, the province opted to achieve the goal of poverty alleviation through the construction of new energy facilities. This research project therefore asks: If the over-supply of energy is already very high, why are local governments of all levels in Guizhou Province continuing to make renewable energy a key policy tool for poverty alleviation? What are their considerations and response strategies? To answer these questions, this study will look at Guizhou Province and adopt a theoretical approach to local initiative under central authority. A 3-year field study is planned for the collection of primary data that will serve as the basis for empirical analysis. The anticipated contributions of this research project include: (1) This study will clarify the considerations and response strategies for each level of local government. (2) This study will also analyze the influences of Chinese government's renewable energy promotion on the precision poverty alleviation. This will help compensate for the lack of analysis on local government promotion strategies; (3) The research results will be published to key international periodicals (SSCI/SCI) and international academic conferences to enhance the capabilities of Taiwan in the global academic community. 本計畫為延續中國可再生能源議題及整合扶貧議題的持續性研究計畫。過去的研究認為中國政府在政策試驗（policy experimentation）的效能與效率是高度脈絡（context）依賴的，尤其是在「限時完成」或「大力推動」的政策上。例如推動可再生能源政策和扶貧政策，造成再中央化（recentralization）或碎片化威權主義（fragmented authoritarianism）的爭議。在中國政府的治理架構下，中央政府將政策試點作為政策目標而非工具，這導致地方政府在回應中央政策的策略呈現多樣性與風險性。同時，既有的研究存在以下缺口：（1）對不同「地方」政府層級的政策考量與策略分析仍然不清楚、（2）對於中國整合可再生能源政策和扶貧政策的新現象，過去研究對地方政府（貴州省）推動策略的分析仍待填補。貴州省是中國政府現階段「脫貧攻堅」的代表性省份，近幾年更積極推動「分散式風電」及「光伏扶貧」，也就是增建可再生能源設施來提升扶貧效果。矛盾的是，貴州省的能源自給率高達139.52%（2017年），風電棄電率達到1.1%（2018年），發電量外送他省比例高達31.18%（2017年），卻仍選擇增建新能源設施來實現脫貧目標。故本研究計畫的問題是：在能源高度過剩的情況下，為什麼貴州省各級地方政府仍選擇可再生能源作為脫貧的重要政策工具？其考量因素與回應策略為何？準此，本研究以貴州省為研究對象，從中央控制下地方主動性的理論途徑出發，規劃以三年時間進行田野調查蒐集初級資料作為實證分析的基礎。本研究計畫預期貢獻包括：（一）本研究將釐清不同地方政府層級的考量因素與回應策略。（二）本研究分析對現階段中國政府推動以可再生能源支持扶貧攻堅的崛起現象，填補對地方政府推動策略分析不足的缺口。（三）將研究成果發表至國際重要期刊（SSCI/SCI）及國際學術會議，提升臺灣在此領域國際學術社群的能量。
