According to data from China’s National Energy Administration, the country’s total installed renewable energy capacity<\/a> reached 2.34 billion kW by the end of 2025, accounting for around 60% of the national power capacity, up from about 40% in 2020.<\/p>\n

Combined wind and solar capacity <\/a>grew from 530 million kW in 2020 to 1.84 billion kW in 2025, surpassing coal-fired power capacity for the first time.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, new energy storage capacity<\/a> exceeded 100 million kW, representing more than 40% of the global total. Trading volume of green electricity certificates in 2025 also exceeded the combined total of previous years.<\/p>\n

Large wind and solar projects in desert and arid regions added over 130 million kW of new capacity, supported by ultra-high-voltage transmission lines that deliver renewable power to major demand centers. Currently, nearly 40% of China’s electricity consumption comes from renewable sources.<\/p>\n

On the consumption side, China has built the world’s largest electric vehicle charging network and launched pilot programs for vehicle-to-grid interaction in several regions.<\/p>\n

In addition, improvements in green electricity and certificate trading mechanisms and reforms to market-based pricing for renewable power are underway. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China’s exports of wind and solar products helped reduce carbon emissions in other countries by about 4.1 billion tons.<\/p>\n
