Management of renewable energy development trends and business models in the internet era

With the worsening energy crisis and environmental pollution (EP for short) issues, more and more countries have begun to strengthen the development and utilization of renewable energy (RE for short) and have achieved significant social, economic, and environmental benefits. The achieved benefits are reflected in reduced carbon emission intensity across participating countries, growth in RE sector employment, lower levelized cost of electricity for wind and solar projects, and improved air quality indicators in urban areas where RE penetration exceeds 30%. The growing population and rising living standards are among the main drivers of global energy demand. At the same time, climate change, driven by carbon dioxide emissions and other environmental issues, is also worsening. To address the challenge of climate change, countries have begun to increase policy support for RE businesses, promote cooperation between governments, companies, communities, and others, and provide more and cleaner energy to global consumers. This article proposed a new business model by analyzing RE investment entities and business models. Through experimental analysis, it was concluded that compared to traditional business models, the distribution of energy projects, investment thresholds, and the proportion of diversified investment themes in the new business model showed measurable differences: the proportion of distributed energy projects increased by 9%, the investment threshold proportion increased by 19%, and the proportion of diversified investment entities increased by 19% compared to traditional business models. Compared to traditional energy, the proportion of RE projects distributed has increased by 9%, and the proportion of investment thresholds has increased by 19%. The proportion of diversified investment entities increased by 19%, which had a positive impact on RE's future development.

Abstract

With the worsening energy crisis and environmental pollution (EP for short) issues, more and more countries have begun to strengthen the development and utilization of renewable energy (RE for short) and have achieved significant social, economic, and environmental benefits. The achieved benefits are reflected in reduced carbon emission intensity across participating countries, growth in RE sector employment, lower levelized cost of electricity for wind and solar projects, and improved air quality indicators in urban areas where RE penetration exceeds 30%. The growing population and rising living standards are among the main drivers of global energy demand. At the same time, climate change, driven by carbon dioxide emissions and other environmental issues, is also worsening. To address the challenge of climate change, countries have begun to increase policy support for RE businesses, promote cooperation between governments, companies, communities, and others, and provide more and cleaner energy to global consumers. This article proposed a new business model by analyzing RE investment entities and business models. Through experimental analysis, it was concluded that compared to traditional business models, the distribution of energy projects, investment thresholds, and the proportion of diversified investment themes in the new business model showed measurable differences: the proportion of distributed energy projects increased by 9%, the investment threshold proportion increased by 19%, and the proportion of diversified investment entities increased by 19% compared to traditional business models. Compared to traditional energy, the proportion of RE projects distributed has increased by 9%, and the proportion of investment thresholds has increased by 19%. The proportion of diversified investment entities increased by 19%, which had a positive impact on RE's future development.
