In the first seven months of 2024, wind and solar power generation totaled 1.05 trillion kilowatt hours, accounting for roughly 20 percent of China''s total electricity generation. China''s new energy industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, maintaining a double-digit annual growth rate.
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)
