Abstract: Tibet, with its abundant hydraulic, solar, and wind resources, stands at the forefront of China’s renewable energy development. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of clean energy development in Tibet, highlighting the region’s vast potential and the challenges it faces. We find that, while Tibet has made significant strides in harnessing its natural endowments, infrastructural limitations, seasonal fluctuations, and technological hurdles constrain the development of clean energy. This paper offers a multifaceted set of recommendations aimed at accelerating clean energy development in Tibet, including policy reforms, infrastructure enhancements, and technological innovations. Our study’s unique contributions lie in its holistic approach to clean energy development, its detailed analysis of the regional energy policies, and its forward-looking recommendations that balance ecological protection with energy security. By adhering to the principle of ecological priority and conducting innovative research in clean energy development, Tibet can leverage its carbon sequestration capabilities for environmental protection while promoting sustainable economic and social development. This paper provides valuable insights for policymakers and scholars, offering a roadmap for the sustainable development of Tibet’s economy and a reference for similar regions embarking on clean energy transitions.
