Zambia receives an average of 2.5 m/s at 10 m above the ground (REEP Policy Database 2012 ), a good speed for pumping water and not particularly suitable for the production of energy. However, although some sites have been identified with wind speed of about 6 m/s for wind farms, little development has occurred.
The results showed that the average suitability score of land in China is 0.1058 and the suitable land for PV power generation is about 993,000 km 2 in 2015. The PV power generation potential of China is 131.942 PWh, which is approximately 23 times the electricity demand of China in 2015.
