By 2024 China is building 30 Concentrated Solar Power Projects as part of gigawatt-scale renewable energy complexes in each province, appropriately reflecting the urgency and scale needed for climate action
China's wind and solar projects China has commenced construction on several large-scale wind- and solar-powered bases in deserts in recent years. Located mainly in northwest China, they have a combined capacity of nearly 100 million kilowatts for the first phase of projects.
According to a plan issued by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the NEA in 2022, China will build wind and solar power bases with an installed capacity of 455 million kilowatts by 2030. China's southwest can support both hydro and wind power due to its varied landscape, comprising rivers and mountains.
All told, 2023 saw unprecedented wind and solar growth in China. The unabated wave of construction guarantees that China will continue leading in wind and solar installation in the near future, far ahead of the rest of the world.
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. Cumulative annual utility-scale solar & wind power capacity in China, in gigawatts (GW)
Between March 2023 and March 2024, China installed more solar than it had in the previous three years combined, and more than the rest of the world combined for 2023. Solar capacity first surpassed wind in 2022, and the gap has grown significantly larger, thanks to the massive expansion of distributed solar.
