Core Viewpoint - The development of renewable energy in China has achieved significant advancements in scale, proportion, marketization, and quality during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, contributing to energy security and low-carbon transformation, while also providing a model for global energy transition [2][17]. Large-Scale Leap - The total installed capacity of renewable energy in China has crossed 2.1 billion kilowatts, accounting for nearly 60% of the national total, with wind and solar power reaching 1.68 billion kilowatts, surpassing thermal power capacity [4][5]. - The annual new installed capacity of wind and solar power has increased from "ten million kilowatt level" during the "13th Five-Year Plan" to "one hundred million kilowatt level," with new installations reaching 290 million kilowatts in 2023 and 350 million kilowatts in 2024 [4][5]. - Distributed solar power installations have reached 497 million kilowatts, over six times the level at the end of 2020, making up about 45% of total solar power installations [5]. High Proportion Leap - Renewable energy's share in total energy consumption has significantly increased, with renewable energy generation reaching 3.47 trillion kilowatt-hours in 2024, which is 2.5 times that of 2020 [8][9]. - The role of renewable energy has shifted from a supplementary role to a core component of the energy structure, with significant upgrades in power transmission and grid management systems to accommodate renewable energy [9]. High-Quality Leap - China has established itself as a global leader in renewable energy technology, with significant advancements in hydropower, offshore wind, and solar energy technologies, leading to a competitive advantage in the international market [11][12]. - The cost of wind and solar energy has decreased by approximately 60% and 80% respectively over the past decade, facilitating the global adoption of renewable energy [12]. - New applications and business models for renewable energy, such as "photovoltaic+" and green hydrogen production, are emerging, contributing to economic growth and social progress [12]. Market-Oriented Development - A comprehensive policy framework for renewable energy development has been established, enhancing market participation and ensuring high-quality development through regulatory reforms [14][15]. - The green certificate system is being improved, with a significant increase in the issuance and trading of green certificates, reflecting the growing recognition of the environmental value of renewable energy [16]. - Innovative regulatory approaches are being implemented to ensure the healthy development of the renewable energy sector, utilizing advanced technologies for better oversight [16].
