China installed a record 315 GW (AC) of new solar capacity in 2025, lifting cumulative installed PV capacity to 1. 2 TW and pushing non-fossil power sources past thermal generation for the first time. China's National Energy Administration (NEA) released its 2025 power sector statistics on Jan. 16 -- China will add more than 200 million kilowatts of new wind and photovoltaic power generation capacity next year as it accelerates the green and low-carbon transformation of its energy sector, according to the National Energy Work Conference 2026. The expansion underscores China's. . As of 2024, China was responsible for 64 percent of the world's utility-scale solar and wind construction, with 339 gigawatt hours of renewable energy infrastructure in the works, even though it only has around 17 percent of the planet's population. China is the world's largest energy consumer and greenhouse gas. . Clean-energy growth helped China's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions fall by 1% year-on-year in the first half of 2025, extending a declining trend that started in March 2024.
