As of data from April 2023, the largest PV solar plant in the country is the Gonghe Photovoltaic Project, located in the province of Qinghai, with a capacity of over 3,000 megawatts.
Researchers from Harvard, Tsinghua University in Beijing, Nankai University in Tianjin and Renmin University of China in Beijing have found that solar energy could provide 43.2% of China’s electricity demands in 2060 at less than two-and-a-half U.S. cents per kilowatt-hour.
As of data from April 2023, the largest PV solar plant in the country is the Gonghe Photovoltaic Project, located in the province of Qinghai, with a capacity of over 3,000 megawatts. Zhejiang, followed by Qinghai, were the provinces accounting for the largest capacity of operational solar power farms in 2022.
China has already made major commitments to transitioning its energy systems towards renewables, especially power generation from solar, wind and hydro sources. However, there are many unknowns about the future of solar energy in China, including its cost, technical feasibility and grid compatibility in the coming decades.
Indeed, China is leading the way in renewables development. In July 2024, new data from Global Energy Monitor (GEM) found that China is building almost twice as much wind and solar energy capacity as every other country in the world combined, with 180GW of utility-scale solar and 159GW of wind power already under construction.
