China power statistics
China power statistics - April 2025 In the first fourth months of the year, wind and solar power generation capacity accounted for 89% of new capacity (see Figure 1 below). Solar continued
China's pipeline of utility-scale wind power has grown to 593 GW and nearly 223 GW is currently under construction—more than 45% of total global wind energy development. The total installed wind power capacity in the country is now more than 700 GW, and the new capacity added reached 357 GW in 2024, which became a new record in the world.
From steppe to power source, China's wind energy sector is revolutionizing the country's electricity supply and taking on a global leadership role. With its vast landmasses in the north and an extensive coastline, China has optimal conditions for generating wind power.
With this impressive new capacity, China accounts for 72% of the global market for new wind turbines – a steady increase from 65% in 2023 and 58% in 2022. Although also China also fell slightly short of the expected new capacity of nearly 100 GW, the record cements China's dominant role in global wind power development.
BEIJING, Dec. 20 -- China's installed capacity of wind power has continued to grow as the country accelerates its push for a green transition, official data showed Friday.
