Located in Datong City, Shanxi Province, it is the country's 3rd largest solar power plant. China's National Energy Administration aimed to install solar plants in this area. After successful completion of the project's 1st phase in 2016, this solar plant now has a total capacity of 1.1 gigawatts.
China continues its relentless expansion of solar power capacity, now home to the world’s largest solar plant. The 2.2 gigawatt facility spans an area of over 25 square kilometers in the Gobi desert. This $3 billion flagship project demonstrates the epic scale of renewable infrastructure developing worldwide.
China can now make more solar power than the rest of the world. Data released by China’s National Agency last week revealed that the country’s solar electric power generation capacity grew by a staggering 55.2 percent in 2023. The numbers highlight over 216 gigawatts (GW) of solar power China built during the year.
China is a solar energy hub that houses a number of the world's largest solar power plants. Over the last few years, China, which is the top emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG), has increased its share of renewable electricity generation.
China probably accounted for 58% of global solar installations and 60% of global wind last year, according to BNEF. Additions of renewables mean China can burn less coal to meet rising energy demand, and the shift has fueled forecasts that the world’s top polluter may have peaked emissions last year, well ahead of the government’s 2030 target.
And despite all the turmoil, the Chinese solar industry has the manufacturing capacity to meet the demand. Discover all statistics and data on Solar energy in China now on statista.com!
