Does China have more solar panels?

The report looks at China's current installed green energy capacity, but also makes projections on what's been announced and in construction over the next two years. It finds that right now China has more solar panels installed in large-scale projects than the rest of the world combined.

Why is China developing a green energy roadmap?

It enables enterprises to tap deep pools of expertise and develop green energy solutions in a country that hosts three of the five biggest science and technology clusters globally. The results of these innovations are being felt worldwide; from Sichuan Province to Zimbabwe, China is creating a roadmap for sustainable development on a global scale.

How much solar power does China have in 2023?

The nation put up 357 gigawatts of solar and wind, a 45% and 18% increase, respectively, over what was operating at the end of 2023, according to China’s National Energy Administration. That’s akin to building 357 full-size nuclear plants in one year.

Where is the world's largest green hydrogen project located?

The largest green hydrogen project on the planet is located in China, as are around 40% of the world’s hydrogen refuelling stations. These stations support a small but quickly growing population of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Solar and wind energy are also areas of strength.

Will solar power increase global capacity by 85% by 2025?

Solar panel installations alone are growing at a pace that would increase global capacity by 85% by 2025. The report says the country's green energy targets for 2030 look set to be exceeded five years ahead of schedule. But coal plants are also increasing, partly as backup for all the new wind and solar farms, the authors say.
