Abstract

The global transition to wind, water, and solar (WWS) energy is crucial for addressing the climate crisis, a shift that is equally vital for China. Shandong Province, a major industrial hub, is poised to play a critical role in this energy transition. This paper uses the IEA 2022 data to study the energy storage needs and land footprint required for a 100% WWS system in Shandong: Approximately half of the energy would be derived from solar power, around 40% from wind, with the remainder coming from hydro, geothermal, and other sources. Solar power requires the largest land area, followed by wind power; thus, energy storage is key to balancing their intermittency. This study quantifies the requirements for Shandong's renewable energy shift and highlights the necessity of grid upgrades and the pivotal role of the State Grid Shandong Electric Power Company. The findings provide valuable insights for decision-makers and energy companies regarding optimal resource allocation and strategies for supporting China's carbon reduction goals.
