An official from China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced on Wednesday that China has developed the world’s largest and most rapidly expanding renewable energy system.
Zhou Haibing, deputy head of the NDRC, stated at a press conference that by the end of May, China’s installed renewable energy capacity had reached 2.09 billion kilowatts, more than double the capacity recorded at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016–2020).
Zhou added that currently, one-third of all electricity consumed in China is generated from green energy sources.
He also pointed out the remarkable growth of China’s new energy vehicle (NEV) sector, highlighting that the number of NEVs had surged to 31.4 million in 2024, up significantly from 4.92 million at the end of the previous five-year plan.
