With the vast majority (80-85%) of solar manufacturing plants located in China, supporting deployment of ‘spare’ solar capacity in the developing world presents a significant opportunity for China to deliver national gains, in addition to helping deliver global goals on development and climate change.
China added almost twice as much utility-scale solar and wind power capacity in 2023 than in any other year. 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 solar, at 1,120 GW.
An increase of nearly 92% (14.68 GW) during the same period in 2018. Currently, solar energy accounts for 7% of China’s total energy generation capacity. Interestingly, in 2017, the newly added PV capacity by China is equal to the total solar PV capacity of Germany and France.
Wind and solar now account for 37% of the total power capacity in the country, an 8% increase from 2022, and widely expected to surpass coal capacity, which is 39% of the total right now, in 2024. Cumulative annual utility-scale solar & wind power capacity in China, in gigawatts (GW)
Global solar PV manufacturing capacity has increasingly moved from Europe, Japan and the United States to China over the last decade. China has invested over USD 50 billion in new PV supply capacity – ten times more than Europe − and created more than 300 000 manufacturing jobs across the solar PV value chain since 2011.
Trina Solar and Canadian Solar, have both chosen Qinghai Province for production sites. Between June and August 2022, China experienced a severe heatwave affecting almost the entire country. According to weather historians, it was the most severe heat wave recorded anywhere in the world to date.
