China's energy landscape undergoes a remarkable shift as wind and solar power eclipse coal for the first time, signaling a significant transformation towards cleaner energy sources and reduced carbon emissions.
China is undergoing a transformative shift in its energy landscape. For the first time ever, wind and solar energy have as of June this year collectively eclipsed coal in capacity, according to the latest data from the country’s National Energy Administration NEA. Rystad Energy’s analysis forecasts that by 2026, solar power alone will surpass coal as China 's primary energy source, with a cumulative capacity exceeding 1.38 terawatts TW—150 gigawatts GW more than coal.
Solar energy will be central to this transformation, with advancements in supply chains, infrastructure and capacity additions set to surpass coal in future energy production.
