China, already the global leader in renewable energy generation capacity, is racing ahead in building new wind and solar farms, but progress is slower on its showcase wind and solar 'mega' bases, a think tank said on Thursday.
China had installed 365 gigawatts of wind power capacity and 392 GW of solar capacity by the end of last year, about a third of the world's total.
China's state planner, the National Reform and Development Commission , announced plans in 2021 to build 97 GW of large-scale solar and wind projects in sparsely-populated northwestern regions such as Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang to be completed between 2022 and 2023. While the first round of smaller projects are likely to be completed on time, the second batch will be more challenging to finish on schedule, GEM said.
