Installed clean energy capacity tops 1b kilowatts
    2021-11-23  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

CHINA’S installed capacity of renewable energy power generation reached 1.002 billion kilowatts (kWs) at the end of October, doubling that at the end of 2015, data from the National Energy Administration shows.

The figure represents 43.5 percent of the country’s total installed power generation capacity, increasing 10.2 percentage points from the end of 2015, according to the data.

The installed hydropower capacity stood at 385 million kWs, and the installed wind power capacity surged 30.4 percent year on year to 299 million kWs while solar power capacity rose 23.7 percent to 282 million kWs, data showed.

China’s installed capacity of wind, solar, biomass and hydropower generation continued to rank first globally, the administration said.

China aims to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. The country is promoting green and clean energy amid its transition to a low-carbon economy. In July, a national carbon market started online trading with 2,162 power generation companies taking part.

On Nov. 8, the People’s Bank of China said it had provided low-cost loans for financial institutions through a carbon-reduction supporting tool, with a one-year lending rate of 1.75 percent.

On Nov. 17, the country said it will put in place a 200 billion yuan (US$31.32 billion) targeted relending program to support the clean and efficient use of coal.

The proportion of coal in China’s total energy consumption dropped from 72.4 percent in 2005 to 56.8 percent in 2020, according to a white paper on the country’s low-carbon policy. (SD-Xinhua)
