China

China is undertaking a significant energy transition, aiming to increase renewable energy generation and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

 

China plans a 50% increase in renewable energy generation, from 22 trillion kWh in 2020 to 3.3 trillion kWh in 2025. This includes increasing capacity from solar, wind, hydropower and other renewable sources.

​

China aims to achieve a 33% share of renewable electricity by 2025, compared to 28.8% in 2020. This means that a third of the electricity consumed in China will be generated from renewable sources.

​

China is making significant investments in renewable energy infrastructure projects, including the construction of large-scale solar and wind farms. This includes the development of solar parks and offshore wind farms.

​

China is also working on reducing coal consumption, which is a highly polluting energy source. The country is seeking to diversify its energy matrix, gradually replacing coal with renewable sources.
