Beijing: China, a leader in clean energy, produces more than one-fifth of its electricity from wind and solar power.

According to Thai News Agency, Chinese state media reported that by 2025, China will see a new record high in newly installed wind and solar power generation, accounting for 22 percent of all electricity produced in the same year.

China's official Xinhua news agency, citing data released today from the National Energy Administration, reported that China's newly installed wind and solar power generation capacity exceeded 430 million kilowatts last year, marking a 22 percent increase from 2024, and setting a new record. This development brings the cumulative total of wind and solar power generation capacity to 1.84 billion kilowatts, which accounts for 47.3 percent of the total electricity generation capacity. Wind and solar power contributed to 22 percent of the total electricity produced that year.

Previously, on January 9, US President Donald Trump made a statement during a campaign to attract energy executives to invest in Venezuela. He claimed that China primarily exports wind turbines and uses very little of them for domestic electricity generation. Experts have countered this claim, stating that China is the world's leading producer of wind power, generating 992 trillion watt-hours by 2024, which represents 40% of global wind power production. Furthermore, they emphasize that most of the wind turbines manufactured in China are installed domestically, with only a small portion being exported.
