Core Insights - China's experience demonstrates that a highly industrialized nation can successfully achieve an energy transition, contingent upon the government's ability to formulate and implement coherent policies [2][5] - China is not only reshaping its own energy future but also the global energy landscape, leading the clean energy revolution by reducing the costs of core clean energy equipment, thereby creating more opportunities for other countries [2][5] Clean Energy Investment and Demand - In 2024, 81% of China's new electricity demand will be met by clean power, significantly higher than the average of 52% over the previous five years [3] - By the first half of 2025, clean energy is expected to satisfy all of China's new electricity demand, with clean energy investment reaching $625 billion in 2024, accounting for about one-third of global investment [3] - In the first three quarters of 2025, China's renewable energy capacity additions reached 310 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 47.7%, representing approximately 84.4% of total new capacity [3] Global Impact and Export - China currently supplies over 80% of the world's photovoltaic components and 70% of wind power equipment, with photovoltaic exports increasing from 66.6 gigawatts in 2019 to nearly 240 gigawatts in 2024 [3] - In 2024, China's clean energy products are projected to reduce carbon emissions in importing countries by approximately 1% [4] Energy Transition Necessity - The necessity to move away from fossil fuels is widely accepted, yet action is often delayed; accelerating the transition is seen as the best way to achieve energy security and affordability [5] - Countries are urged to seize the current momentum of energy transition and leverage the continuously declining prices of clean energy to build a cleaner and more resilient future [5]
