Summary
China continues to expand The People’s Republic has around 1,200 gigawatts of solar energy and 640 gigawatts of wind energy capacity. According to the GEM experts, solar parks with a total capacity of 317 gigawatts and wind turbines with a total capacity of 120 gigawatts were connected to the grid in 2025. In 2025, China produced less electricity from coal than in the previous year for the first time in decades.
Furthermore, According to calculations by the GEM, it could produce as much electricity annually as Germany generated from all its power sources in 2025. Coal remains important support The experts believe it is possible that China will already reach its five-year plan target of increasing the share of solar and wind energy in total electricity capacity to over 50 percent by 2030. According to a report by Xinhua State News Agency, the boom in artificial intelligence will further fuel the expansion of battery storage in the current five-year plan until 2030.
In addition, In the first quarter, according to data from the China Energy Storage Alliance, standalone energy storage systems with a capacity of 23 gigawatt-hours were added - an increase of 205 percent compared to the same period last year. Currently, China is building new wind farms with a total capacity of 251 gigawatts. This allows personal data to be transmitted to third-party platforms.
Moreover, China is the world champion in the development of solar and wind farms.
