China's installed electricity generation capacity from renewable energy sources had surpassed 1,400 GW by the end of October this year, showed data from the National Energy Administration.

 

By end-October, China's renewable capacity totaled 1,404 GW, rising 20.8% year on year, which accounted for 49.9% of the country's total installed capacity.

 

This includes hydropower capacity 420 GW (conventional 370 GW, pumped-storage 50.04 GW), solar power capacity 404 GW, photovoltaic power 536 GW, and biomass 44 GW.

 

Total installed renewable capacity in China is expected to exceed 1,450 GW by the end of 2023, including over 1,000 GW of wind and photovoltaic power, as the country strives to reach peak carbon neutrality, according to the NEA.

 

From January-October, the newly-added power generation capacity from renewable power reached 191 GW, increasing nearly 100 GW compared with the same period last year, soaring 90.8% year on year, which represented 76.4% of the total newly-added capacity.

 

This included newly-added hydropower capacity 8.44 GW, wind power capacity 37.31 GW, photovoltaic power 142 GW and biomass 2.32 GW.

 

The newly added wind and photovoltaic power capacity will exceed 200 GW by the end of 2023, said the NEA.

 

China's power generation from renewable energy accumulated to 2,330 TWh in the first ten months this year, accounting for 31.8% of the total, including 980.5 TWh of hydropower, 696.8 TWh of wind power, 489.8 TWh of photovoltaic power and 164 TWh of biomass.

 

It is expected that renewable energy power generation will reach 3,000 TWh by the end of this year, accounting for about one-third of China's electricity consumption.
