How much energy will China spend on wind & solar?
While over half a trillion dollars was spent worldwide on wind and solar last year, China accounted for 55% of that. Back in 2020, President Xi Jinping said that China would install over 1,200 gigawatts of solar and wind power by 2030. This new report says this target will be surpassed five years ahead of schedule.
Is China leading the world in solar power?
Technicians check solar panels in Zhoushan, Zhejiang province. [Photo by YAO FENG/FOR CHINA DAILY] A report by the International Energy Agency, or IEA, on the future of renewable energy production has pinpointed China, and in particular its solar power capabilities, as leading the way for the world in the years to come.
Will China's solar industry continue to contract?
Further contraction is inevitable unless demand is supported in the next few years. Fifteen years ago the Chinese government prevented its nascent solar manufacturing industry from contracting, in the face of similarly difficult circumstances, by supporting deployment within China.
Why do developed countries need'spare' solar power?
The existence of such abundant and cheap quantities of ‘spare’ solar capacity is also an opportunity for developed nations, which have an acknowledged responsibility to support the Global South in delivering both the Sustainable Development Goals and global climate change targets, to make up for lost time.
Could a'spare' solar manufacturing capacity improve energy transitions?
Utilisation of ‘spare’ solar manufacturing capacity could significantly advance the energy transitions of countries that need it most, increasing energy access and avoiding the need to build new fossil fuel power stations.
Will China double its wind power capacity by 2025?
On wind energy, the country has doubled its capacity since 2017. But this appears to be only the start. According to GEM, China is expanding this sector rapidly and will more than double its capacity for wind and solar by the end of 2025.
