Wind and solar now account for 37% of the total power capacity in China, an 8% increase from 2022. This means that China's solar and wind power capacity is 37% of the total power capacity.
Wind and solar now account for 37% of the total power capacity in the country, an 8% increase from 2022, and widely expected to surpass coal capacity, which is 39% of the total right now, in 2024.
The installed solar PV capacity in China increasing from 130.25 GW in 2017 to 392.61 GW in 2022 (IRENA, 2023). Moreover, at the United Nations Climate Ambition Summit, China further announced that the total installed capacity of wind and solar power will reach over 1200 GW by 2030 (The United Nations et al., 2020).
By the first quarter of 2024, China’s total utility-scale solar capacity reached 758 GW.
In 2014, China's PV cumulative installed capacity reached 28.05 GW. Currently, supportive policies in China focus on the national level. Few of these policies consider regional difference, such as the distribution of solar radiation and economic development.
As of December 2020, China's ground-mounted solar facilities occupied a surface of 2,467.7 km2. This information is based on a national-scale map and dataset created by scientists led by the China Agricultural University.
China is Building Coal-Fired Power Plants at an Alarming Rate
