NEWS: China is building 74% of all current solar and wind projects, report says

According to Global Energy Monitor, China is responsible for 74% of all utility-scale solar and wind under construction—510 GW out of 689 GW globally. (FT)

  • The renewables push is helping meet rising demand from electric transport and heavy industry, with clean power supplying almost a quarter of China’s electricity in Q1. 

  • Worth noting: The buildout comes alongside a surge in coal projects, highlighting the country’s dual-track approach to energy security and climate.
