However, the new plan also allows for more coal-fired power plants to enhance energy security.
According to the just-announced plan, 33% of the electricity supply for China’s national power system will come from sources recycled energy from now to 2025.
In 2025, the annual electricity production from renewable energy will reach about 2.3 trillion KW/h and the output wind electricity and solar power will double.
China, the world’s largest producer of renewable energy, is accelerating investment in wind and solar power projects to tackle domestic pollution. Beijing is committed to becoming a carbon-neutral country by 2060.
China leads the world in the number of rooftop solar panels. In 2021, 54.9 GW of solar capacity was produced, of which half came from roof panels. In addition, in 2021 alone, China has commissioned more offshore wind turbines than any other country has been building in the past five years.

In 2021, China has increased its renewable energy production to a record level, Sputnik reported. Solar power generation capacity increased 14% year-on-year, accounting for more than a third of the total increase in energy capacity in 2021.
In addition, an additional 47.6 GW of wind power was installed. The increase is smaller than in 2020 with an additional 71.7 GW of wind turbines. However, 19.9 GW is from newly installed offshore or offshore wind turbines. This is more than any other country in the past five years. As a result, the volume of newly operated solar and wind power generation capacity will reach 102.5 GW in 2021, equal to about 58% of the increase in China’s total generating capacity in 2021.
According to information from China’s National Development and Energy Reform Commission, China has just launched a series of clean energy projects with a total capacity of 455 GW by 2030. These projects will mainly be allocated. in the deserts of northern China such as the Gobi and Inner Mongolia.
The total installed capacity of alternative energy in China from solar and wind accounts for about 18% of the country’s total energy.
