Joint Statement by Yingchen (Xiong’an) and PACS | Breaking the Oil Crisis with Photovoltaic Microgrids to Bolster Energy Security

Apr 02,2026

At present, the global oil crisis continues to intensify, with soaring fuel prices and escalating risks of supply disruptions, placing unprecedented pressure on millions of communities, particularly in energy-poor regions. In response, YCSOLAR (Xiong’an) and the Pacific Asia Climate Action Network (PACS) recently issued a joint statement calling on all stakeholders to accelerate the transition to a clean, reliable, and inclusive energy system, identifying photovoltaic microgrids as a key pathway to replace fossil fuels and effectively empower the communities most severely affected.

Cause: The oil crisis exposed structural contradictions.

The statement notes that rising fuel prices, supply-chain disruptions, and environmental degradation are no longer merely technical challenges; they have become pressing livelihood issues that affect people’s well-being, public health, and access to essential services. This situation starkly highlights the long-standing reliance of many countries on imported fossil fuels, which makes them highly vulnerable to global oil-price volatility and supply interruptions. Both sides agree that only by accelerating the energy transition can the current crisis be addressed at its root.

Core Solution: Photovoltaic Microgrids Showcase Six Key Advantages

Both sides emphasized that renewable energy, particularly photovoltaic microgrids, plays a crucial role in reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels and strengthening the national energy security framework. This technology has been proven to be a mature alternative to diesel-based power generation, making it especially well-suited for vulnerable and remote communities. Its key advantages include:
No fuel dependency: No need to import diesel; completely unaffected by oil price fluctuations and free from transportation risks.
Lower long-term costs: Significantly reduces fuel, transportation, and O&M costs;
Rapid and efficient deployment: The system can be installed within a few weeks, eliminating the need for several years of deployment.
Clean and quiet operation: Zero emissions, low noise, and environmentally friendly;
Flexible and scalable: It can meet the diverse electricity needs of households, schools, medical institutions, and enterprises, such as in agriculture, community centers, construction camps, mines, refugee camps, and industrial and commercial settings.
Enhancing Energy Accessibility: Adapted for electricity use in remote communities.

Joint Commitment and Action Initiative

The two sides reaffirmed their commitment to advancing a just, people-centered energy transition and called on all stakeholders to work together to address the root causes of energy insecurity:

Governments worldwide should prioritize the development of clean-energy infrastructure, streamline the approval process for photovoltaic microgrids, introduce preferential import-tax policies, and design institutional frameworks to reduce reliance on imported fuels, thereby expanding the penetration of clean energy.

Investors should increase financing for community-centered energy systems, as such projects can deliver both long-term financial returns and tangible social value.

Civil society organizations should continue to play a critical role in ensuring that clean energy solutions are effectively implemented in the communities that need them most.

About PACS and YCSOLAR

The Pacific Asia Climate Action Network (PACS) is an organization with a long-standing commitment to advancing regional climate action and improving livelihoods, boasting extensive experience in the field of community energy access. YCSOLAR (Xiong’an), as a microgrid solutions provider, focuses on the research, development, and deployment of high-efficiency photovoltaic modules and microgrid systems. Through this collaboration, the two organizations aim to precisely align proven technologies with grassroots needs, thereby providing practical and viable energy alternatives for communities affected by the oil crisis.

Call for Collaboration: Jointly Advance the Implementation of Key Regional Projects

To address ongoing energy challenges, the two parties are actively seeking partners—including local government agencies and public institutions, remote and off-grid communities, industrial and commercial energy users, solar developers, and solution providers—to advance the implementation of photovoltaic microgrid projects in priority regions.
