Core Viewpoint - China is set to establish the world's largest and fastest-growing renewable energy system by the end of 2025, with total installed capacity reaching 2.34 billion kilowatts, increasing the share of renewable energy from 40% to approximately 60% during the 14th Five-Year Plan period [1][2]. Group 1: Development Speed and Capacity - By 2025, the combined installed capacity of wind and solar power will exceed that of thermal power for the first time, increasing from 530 million kilowatts in 2020 to 1.84 billion kilowatts, marking a historic leap across 13 billion-level milestones [2]. - New energy storage capacity will surpass 100 million kilowatts, accounting for over 40% of the global total, enhancing the stability of wind and solar power generation [2]. Group 2: Green Energy Consumption - The annual trading volume of renewable energy green certificates will exceed the total of previous years, accelerating the establishment of mechanisms for green energy consumption [2]. - Nearly 40% of the total electricity consumption in China is now green electricity, meaning that for every 10 kilowatt-hours consumed, nearly 4 kilowatt-hours are from renewable sources [2]. Group 3: Structural Optimization and Innovation - The optimization of energy supply structure is ongoing, with significant advancements in the renewable energy sector during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, including the establishment of large-scale wind and solar bases [2][3]. - The reform and innovation of energy systems and mechanisms, such as the improvement of green certificate trading mechanisms and market-oriented pricing for renewable energy, are effectively stimulating demand for green electricity [3]. - China has built the largest and fastest-growing renewable energy system globally, contributing significantly to the global low-carbon transition, with exports of wind and solar products helping to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 4.1 billion tons in other countries [3].
