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.
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)
Solar energy is the most common, cheapest, and most mature renewable energy technology. With solar photovoltaics taking over recently, an in-depth look into their supply chain shows a surprising dependency on the Chinese market from the raw materials to the assembled PVs.
In 2022, PV accounted for 70 % of total capacity additions of renewable power (348 GW), with China accounting for 44 % of global capacity (Sawin et al.,2022). PV still has significant potential for further development in China, particularly in regions abundant in solar energy resources like northwest China (Lin et al.,2022).
The Chinese companies supply around 200 countries’ needs of solar PVs, besides their domestic demand. Furthermore, to level up the competition, China invests in South Asian neighboring countries’ solar projects. Investments in Vietnam, Malaysia, and other countries, made them worthy opponents able to supply the rest of the world as well.
China can now make more solar power than the rest of the world. Data released by China’s National Agency last week revealed that the country’s solar electric power generation capacity grew by a staggering 55.2 percent in 2023. The numbers highlight over 216 gigawatts (GW) of solar power China built during the year.
