China makes a leap in renewable energy with newly installed capacity of 373 million kilowatts

China's newly installed capacity of renewable energy in 2024 accounted for 86 percent of China's total newly installed power capacity, while the cumulative installed capacity of renewable energy made up a record high of 56 percent of the nation's total, according to new data from the National Energy Administration (NEA).The NEA data released Monday showed that China's renewable energy sector added a new installed capacity of 373 million kilowatts in 2024, representing a year-on-year increase of 23 percent. Hydropower and wind power contributed 13.78 million kilowatts and 79.82 million kilowatts, respectively, while solar power and biomass power increased by 278 million kilowatts and 1.85 million kilowatts.By the end of 2024, the cumulative installed capacity of the country's renewable energy reached 1.889 billion kilowatts, a 25 percent increase from the previous year. Hydropower accounted for 436 million kilowatts, wind power for 521 million kilowatts, solar power for 887 million kilowatts, and biomass power for 46 million kilowatts.Data also showed that the country's renewable energy generation reached 3.46 trillion kilowatt-hours in 2024, with a year-on-year rise of 19 percent, accounting for about 35 percent of the total electricity generated.As China strives to achieve its goals of peaking carbon emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060, the country continues to strengthen its efforts in developing a green economy, taking advantage of renewable energy as one of the engines.
