Clarifying the driving factors for promoting low-carbon technology innovation in the power generation industry

and exploring incentive mechanisms for low-carbon technology innovation in the power generation industry

is of great significance for achieving the unity of economic

environmental

and social performance in the power industry

and ultimately achieving the “dual carbon” goal of the country. This article focuses on the characteristics of technological innovation in the power generation industry

starting from the two stages of lowcarbon technological innovation

and based on external driving forces and internal driving forces of enterprises

it proposes 11 incentive factors to construct an internal and external collaborative incentive mechanism for low-carbon technological innovation in the power generation industry. The results show that

with the synergistic effect of the low-carbon technology innovation incentive mechanism in the power generation industry

the innovation research and development level of low-carbon technologies of enterprises can be promoted

and the economic

environmental and social performance of the enterprises can be improved through the transformation of low-carbon technology achievements. Therefore

an organic unity of enterprise development

environmental improvement and social progress is realized ultimately.
