China is advancing a nearly 1. 3 terawatt (TW) pipeline of utility-scale solar and wind capacity, leading the global effort in renewable energy buildout. New wind power capacity of 87 GW was installed representing a 9. By the first quarter of 2024, China's total utility-scale solar and wind capacity reached 758 GW, though data from China Electricity Council put the total capacity, including distributed. The Summary of China's Energy and Power Sector Statistics is one of the research results of the China Energy Transition (CET) programme. It is published annually as a March special issue of the China Energy Policy Newsletter. Solar continued to show significant growth during this period, wi h 105GW added, up 75% year-on-year. This was over 8 times more than hermal, and 5 times more than wind. In the month of April alone, 45. 2GW of solar was added, more than Austra power system is. China has installed a world-record 26-megawatt offshore wind turbine, a technological feat that coincides with its total wind and solar capacity reaching 1. This systemic shift means the world's largest energy market is. % of new capacity (see Figure 1 below).
