China continues to lead the world in solar and wind capacity installations, constructing twice as much renewable power capacity as the rest of the world combined, pushing its renewable energy generation capacity beyond 50% of the total.
China continues to be the undisputed global leader in solar and wind capacity installations as it is currently constructing twice as much renewables power capacity as the rest of the world combined, think tank Global Energy Monitor GEM said in a new report on Thursday. As many as 180 gigawatts GW of utility-scale solar and another 159 GW of wind power are currently under construction in China —enough capacity to power all of South Korea, the authors of the research noted.
China now accounts for nearly two-thirds of all solar and wind power capacity in construction in the world. The second-largest capacity fleet under construction is in the United States, but at 40 GW, it is dwarfed by China. Over the last year, China installed more solar than it had in the previous three years combined, and more than the rest of the world combined for 2023, GEM said in the research.
