竞相登顶：中国(2023)

China has established global leadership in renewable energy, with utility-scale solar capacity of 228 GW and wind capacity exceeding 310 GW as of Q1 2023. The country is pursuing an ambitious target of over 1,200 GW of combined wind and solar capacity by 2030, supported by the '14th Five-Year Plan' and the development of massive 'wind-solar bases' in desert regions. While integrating these sources through ultra-high voltage (UHV) transmission and new energy storage technologies, China continues to utilize coal-fired power as a 'bottom-line' guarantee for grid stability, which may hinder the complete phase-out of fossil fuels.

• As of the first quarter of 2023, China's utility-scale solar power operational capacity reached nearly 228 GW, accounting for 52% of the global total and 75% of Asia's capacity. The top three provinces for solar capacity are Shanxi, Xinjiang, and Hebei.
• China's total wind power capacity (onshore and offshore) exceeded 310 GW by Q1 2023, with Inner Mongolia, Hebei, and Xinjiang leading in onshore capacity. Offshore wind capacity reached 31.4 GW, representing approximately 10% of total wind capacity and surpassing the total offshore capacity of Europe.
• The strategy for large-scale renewable energy involves creating 'wind-solar bases' in desert, Gobi, and wasteland areas. A 2022 plan aims for 455 GW of total capacity by 2030, with 200 GW to be completed by 2025. These bases often pair renewables with new coal-fired plants to ensure power stability, with some projects targeting a renewable-to-coal capacity ratio of 2:1 or 3:1.
