简报:2024年7月 中国继续引领全球风电和太阳能发展，其目前在建装机规模为全球所有其他国家总和的两倍
Summary
A July 2024 briefing by Global Energy Monitor (GEM) detailing China's leadership in wind and solar energy deployment, highlighting its massive pipeline of projects under construction and the systemic challenges related to grid integration and power transmission.
Key insights
- China's total installed capacity for grid-connected wind and solar (including distributed projects) reached 1,120 GW by the end of March 2024, accounting for 37% of the country's total power generation capacity. Projections suggest that wind and solar capacity may exceed coal power capacity in 2024, as coal currently represents 39% of total capacity.
- Despite rapid growth, China faces significant grid challenges. The grid relies heavily on coal power to manage the intermittency of renewables; for example, 30% of the planned capacity in the second batch of 'wind and solar bases' is coal power, including 28 GW of new coal power. Additionally, power transmission from the north and northwest to the center and southeast is limited by the slow construction of ultra-high voltage (UHV) lines, leading to rising curtailment rates. In March 2024, the national average solar curtailment rate exceeded the 5% warning line set in 2018.
