“…In the context that “peaking carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060” has been widely recognized by Chinese industry and academia [ 9 ], a series of initiatives in the power sector were proposed at the Climate Ambition Summit, such as the total installed capacity of renewables reaches more than 1.2 billion kilowatts by 2030 [ 10 ]. Subsequently, China proposed the concept of a new power system led by renewables, which clearly defined the direction for energy transition and development [ 11 ].…”

“…In September 2020, China proposed the goals of "Carbon peaking" by 2030 and "carbon neutrality" by 2060 [27]. In order to better realize the "Carbon peaking" and "carbon neutrality" goals, it is crucial to accelerate the upgrading of the energy industry and to complete the transformation of the energy structure [28], and it is especially necessary to increase a clearer understanding of the pattern of energy development [29,30].…”

The development of non-conventional energy sources is not only an important guarantee for national energy security but also a key support for the realization of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals. However, there is limited knowledge of the spatial and temporal patterns and changing characteristics of green energy development in China. Here, based on the energy production and consumption data of the last decade, we combined the gravity center model and statistical model to assess the spatial and temporal patterns of non-conventional energy in 31 provinces of China. The research results show: (1) under the impetus of the development of green low-carbon and ecological civilization strategy, the rate of increase in the production of non-conventional energy in China and the proportion of it increase year by year, and the energy structure obviously presents the characteristics of being low-carbon and cleaner. (2) For the spatial patterns of non-conventional energy development, due to the development of wind power and photovoltaic constraints by natural resource conditions and technology, their development trend is best in northeast, north, and northwest China. (3) The generation of PV and wind power is dominated by northwest China and north China, and the generation of nuclear power is dominated by southeast China, whereas the consumption is dominated by east China and central China; there is an obvious spatial imbalance between non-conventional energy production and consumption. (4) The proportion of photovoltaics in non-conventional energy production has increased significantly over the 2010–2020 period, which is the main driver of the overall shift in the gravity center of non-conventional energy production towards the northwest region of China. (5) In recent years, the gradual transfer of industries from the east to the central and western regions of China and the improvement in the economic level of the western regions have led to an increase in energy production and consumption, promoting a shift in the gravity center of energy production and consumption to the west. Overall, the structural transformation of China’s energy production and consumption (from a high-carbon black structure to a low-carbon and carbon-free green structure) is progressing, and some provinces have achieved significant results, presenting a non-conventional energy industry in accordance with local conditions and the development trend of the non-conventional energy industry.
