In 2023, clean power made up 35% of China’s electricity mix, with hydro the largest single source of clean power at 13%. Wind and solar hit a new record share of 16%, above the global average (13%). China generated 37% of global wind and solar electricity in 2023, enough to power Japan.
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.
Wind and solar output jumped 21 per cent last year to 1,190 terawatt-hours of electricity. PHOTO: REUTERS BEIJING – Wind turbines and solar panels are now generating almost enough electricity to power every home in China.

China hopes to harness emerging industries like solar power, which Mr. Xi likes to describe as “new productive forces,” to re-energize an economy that has slowed for more than a decade. The emphasis on solar power is the latest installment in a two-decade program to make China less dependent on energy imports.
China generated 37% of global wind and solar electricity in 2023, enough to power Japan. Despite the growth in solar and wind, China relied on fossil fuels for 65% of its electricity in 2023, making it the world’s largest emitter. Its per capita power sector emissions were more than double the global average.
