As the Trump administration''s "big, beautiful bill" eliminates many clean-energy incentives in the U.S., China continues huge investments in wind and solar power, reportedly
China is changing the world''s power game. In May 2025 its solar farms made over 100 terawatt-hours (TWh) in one month. That is about one-third of all the power the United
Planned solar capacity projects will likely lead to continued growth in China’s solar capacity. More than 720 GW of solar capacity are in development: about 250 GW under construction, nearly 300 GW in pre-construction phases, and 177 GW of announced projects, according to the Global Solar Power Tracker compiled by Global Energy Monitor.
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. This is in addition to China’s already operating 1.4 TW of solar and wind capacity, nearly 10% of which (141 gigawatts (GW)) came online in 2024.
The 277 GW of utility-scale solar capacity installed in China in 2024 alone is more than twice as much as the 121 GW of utility-scale solar capacity installed in the United States at the end of 2024. Planned solar capacity projects will likely lead to continued growth in China’s solar capacity.
China has more utility-scale solar than any other country. The 277 GW of utility-scale solar capacity installed in China in 2024 alone is more than twice as much as the 121 GW of utility-scale solar capacity installed in the United States at the end of 2024.
Almost three-quarters of all solar and wind power projects being built globally are in China, says a new report that highlights the country’s rapid expansion of renewable energy sources.
The country had 1.5 terawatts of solar and wind power capacity up and running as of the end of March. Solar and wind accounted for 22.5 per cent of China’s total electricity consumption in the first quarter of 2025, according to the government’s National Energy Administration.
