Hey energy fans! 🌍🔥 Let's talk about how China is crushing it in the renewable energy game!
Official data just out shows that China's utilization rates for wind and solar power have stayed above 95% this year! 🎉 That's right, the world's green powerhouse isn't just adding renewable energy capacity—it's making sure it's used efficiently.
By the end of 2024, China's installed wind power capacity reached a whopping 510 million kilowatts, while solar power capacity hit an incredible 840 million kilowatts. 🌬️☀️
In just the first seven months of 2024, wind and solar power generated a massive 1.05 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity, making up about 20% of the country's total electricity generation. That's a serious boost for clean energy! 💡⚡
China's new energy industry has been on a rocket ship ride 🚀 in recent years, with double-digit annual growth. Since 2013, wind power capacity has grown sixfold, and solar power capacity has surged more than 180 times! 🤯
Get this: China's annual new installations make up over 40% of the global total. Talk about leading the way in green development! 🌿🌎
At the national energy work conference held on Sunday, Chinese authorities doubled down on their commitment to green energy. They pledged to ramp up efforts to develop and utilize wind and solar power, pushing for a green and low-carbon transformation. ♻️🌱
But that's not all! China also plans to deepen international energy cooperation, especially in green energy, and actively participate in global energy governance. Looks like the future's bright—and green! ✨💚
Stay tuned, because the energy revolution is happening now, and it's electrifying! ⚡🙌
