China is on track to double its wind and solar power capacity and reach its 2030 clean energy targets five years early, a new report has found.
The country is expected to produce 1,200 GW of solar and wind energy by 2025 if all prospective plants are built and commissioned, according to the study from Global Energy Monitor.
Solar capacity in China is now bigger than the rest of the world combined. Its onshore and offshore wind capacity has doubled since 2017, roughly equal to the combined total of the other top seven countries, according to the report.
