Recently, a report on the Bloomberg website on March 25th has attracted widespread attention, stating that China has made remarkable progress in the field of renewable energy and is highly likely to achieve its 2030 renewable energy goals at least five years ahead of schedule.
From 2021 to 2025, China's newly installed capacity of renewable energy has skyrocketed, exceeding 600 gigawatts, which is more than double the number in 2020, and the total installed capacity is approaching the goal of reaching 1200 gigawatts by 2030. Especially in areas such as Shanghai and Anhui with abundant potential for offshore wind or rooftop solar energy, the growth of renewable energy installed capacity is astonishing.
In the past few years, with the continuous decrease in costs, China has invested heavily and successfully built the world's largest renewable energy generation network. The annual increase in wind and solar power generation capacity has repeatedly broken records, demonstrating strong development momentum. Last year, China installed over 100 gigawatts of solar and wind turbines, an impressive achievement. The large-scale construction of renewable energy in desert areas of China, as well as actively promoting the installation of solar panels on rooftops nationwide, will continue to drive this development speed.
The 14th Five Year Plan period is a crucial stage for China to achieve carbon peak. China plans to significantly increase its power capacity in the next five years, which can ensure energy security and steadily move towards long-term climate goals. The "14th Five Year Plan for Modern Energy System" released on March 22 clearly states that the total installed capacity of power generation should reach about 3 billion kilowatts by 2025. The plan also includes detailed deployment, including comprehensive promotion of large-scale and high-quality development of wind and solar power generation; Developing hydropower according to local conditions, it is expected that by 2025, the installed capacity of conventional hydropower will reach around 380 million kilowatts; Actively, safely, and orderly develop nuclear power, with the goal of achieving an operational installed capacity of around 70 million kilowatts by 2025; At the same time, promote the transformation and upgrading of the power system towards adapting to large-scale and high proportion new energy.
In addition, the Spanish newspaper "Confidential" has also published an article praising China's successful transformation of the Gobi Desert into wind and solar farms. Simon Nicholas, an analyst at the Institute of Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, pointed out that the large-scale development of wind and solar power projects in China is inseparable from its globally leading ultra-high voltage and ultra high voltage long-distance transmission technology, which also makes China's exploration in the field of new energy at the forefront of the world.
Against the backdrop of sustained global commodity price increases, China is actively developing cleaner energy while ensuring energy security, laying a solid foundation for achieving climate goals. China's outstanding performance in the field of renewable energy is not only of great significance to its own development, but also contributes to the global energy transition and response to climate change, providing valuable reference experience for other countries.
