Core Viewpoint - Climate risks are increasingly impacting rural energy systems, necessitating enhanced infrastructure and targeted policy recommendations to mitigate these effects [1][4]. Rural Energy Infrastructure Status - The government is placing significant emphasis on rural energy infrastructure, supported by policies and financial assistance such as low-interest loans and subsidies [2]. - Notable progress has been made in rural energy infrastructure, with increased investment in rural power grids and a significant expansion in coverage [2]. - The rapid development of renewable energy, particularly through initiatives like the photovoltaic poverty alleviation program, has led to a substantial increase in installed capacity [2]. Future Development Focus - Future development will prioritize renewable energy, especially distributed energy systems, and smart grid construction to enhance resilience against climate risks [3]. - The share of fossil fuels in rural energy systems is decreasing, with a broad outlook for renewable energy development [3]. Impact of Climate Risks - Climate risks directly damage energy infrastructure, increasing operational risks for rural energy systems [4][5]. - The costs associated with adapting rural energy infrastructure to climate risks are rising, leading to increased operational burdens [4][6]. - Climate risks contribute to decreased stability and efficiency in energy transportation, impacting overall effectiveness and increasing costs [6]. Strategies to Address Climate Risks - Selecting appropriate locations for energy infrastructure to enhance resilience against climate risks is crucial [7]. - Establishing a climate warning mechanism to improve preemptive capabilities against extreme weather events is necessary [8]. - Promoting advanced energy technologies and improving the smart management of rural energy infrastructure will bolster resilience [9]. - Training energy personnel on climate risk awareness is essential to reduce failure rates in energy infrastructure [10].
