In 2025, the national wind and solar power generation will increase by 25% year-on-year

The National Energy Administration released data today showing that by 2025, the country’s wind and solar power generation will increase by 25% year-on-year, accounting for 22% of total power generation. This will strongly drive the share of renewable energy in total power generation to nearly 40%. Since the 14th Five-Year Plan, China has accelerated the development of new energy sources represented by wind and solar, with cumulative installed capacity reaching 3.4 times that at the end of 2020, and the proportion of electricity generated from renewables increasing by over 12 percentage points. By 2025, China’s new renewable energy installed capacity will reach 452 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 21%. Over the five years of the 14th Five-Year Plan, new renewable energy capacity will total 1.389 billion kilowatts, laying a solid foundation for achieving peak carbon emissions before 2030 and the goal of carbon neutrality by 2035.
