6 FAQs about [Wind Solar and Storage in China]

How big is China's solar & wind power capacity?

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)

Will wind and solar power be used in China?

As wind and solar play an increasingly significant role in China’s electricity mix, the surplus energy generated will need to be stored. Otherwise, it will have to be curtailed, meaning some of the wind and solar power will not be used. Pumped-storage projects have advantages compared with other types of storage, such as batteries.

Where are wind turbines located in China?

Wind turbines dot the coastline along a giant solar farm near Weifang in eastern China’s Shandong province on March 22, 2024. (AP Photo/Ng Han Guan, File) China raced ahead building renewable energy last year, installing more wind and solar power than ever before and continuing to leave all other countries in the dust.

Is China leading the world in New solar and wind installations?

Costfoto / NurPhoto via Getty Images China is leading the world in new solar and wind installations and doing so at a record-shattering pace. In May 2025 alone, the country added 93 gigawatts of solar capacity, or nearly 100 solar panels per second, and 26 gigawatts of wind capacity, or about 5,300 wind turbines.

What percentage of China's Electricity is generated by wind and solar?

In 2021, wind and solar combined generated 12% of China’s electricity, according to our International Energy Statistics. As wind and solar play an increasingly significant role in China’s electricity mix, the surplus energy generated will need to be stored.

How much solar power does China have in 2023?

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.
