China’s installed capacity of solar power reaches around 660GW. Image: Sungrow Floating. China’s National Energy Administration has unveiled that the country’s newly added solar PV capacity in the first quarter of 2024 was 45.74GW, up from 33.66GW in the same quarter last year.
The first phase of the solar and wind project located at Tengger Desert in Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region, with an installed capacity of 1 million kilowatts, is expected to generate 1.8 billion kilowatt hours each year, equivalent to the power demand of 1.5 million households, said the company.
Of the additions, solar and wind accounted for 65.9% and 22.3% respectively. Also in Q1, China’s cumulative installed capacity of power generation reached 2,990GW, representing a year-on-year growth of 14.5%. The installed capacity from solar PV was around 660GW, increasing by 55% year-on-year.
