China is setting unprecedented records in solar and wind energy installations, achieving monumental growth in May 2025.
Of this, 510 GW is already under construction, primed to be added to China’s 1.4 TW solar and wind capacity already in operation. As of March 2025, China has emerged as the world’s offshore wind powerhouse — growing from under 5 GW in 2018 to 42.7 GW in 2025 (50% of global capacity).
and GIZ analysis, March 2024The development of wind power and solar PV in China is mainly driven by policies. The most important top-level policy documents in the field of renewable energy are the "14th Five-Year Plan for Modern Energy System" and the "14th Five-Year
China is fast-tracking a 1.3 TW pipeline of utility-scale solar and wind projects. Of this, 510 GW is already under construction, primed to be added to China’s 1.4 TW solar and wind capacity already in operation.
