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)
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.
China aims to raise the total installed capacity of wind and solar power generation facilities in deserts and desertified areas to 455 million kilowatts by 2030. Currently, cross-regional transmission lines mainly transport coal and hydro power.
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.
China added almost twice as much utility-scale solar and wind power capacity in 2023 than in any other year. By the first quarter of 2024, China’s total utility-scale solar and wind capacity reached 758 GW, though data from China Electricity Council put the total capacity, including distributed solar, at 1,120 GW.
Instead of nuclear, solar is now intended to be the foundation of China's new electricity generation system. Authorities have steadily downgraded plans for nuclear to dominate China's energy generation. At present, the goal is 18 per cent of generation by 2060.
