Although there is fast growth in power storage renewables, casting a shadow on wind and solar’s achievements.

Can China make more solar power?

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.

Will China's solar rollout meet its renewable goals?

China's rapid solar rollout has put it on track to meet its renewable goals years ahead of schedule, with installed solar capacity of 655 gigawatts (GW) as of March, the most in the world by far, well ahead of second-placed United States with upwards of 179 GW at the end of 2023. But forecasts for the solar rollout this year vary sharply.
