China just finalized its energy roadmap for the years 2026–2030. The State Council, along with the National Development and Reform Commission and National Energy Administration, is set to add over 370GW of new wind and solar capacity by 2030. 🚀
This plan is about more than just installing gear. It focuses on building massive solar projects in deserts and upgrading how the power grid moves electricity. The State Council also released the 15th Five-Year Carbon Peaking Action Plan to help guide this shift. By 2030, the country expects total renewable energy consumption to reach about 1.8 billion tonnes of standard coal equivalent.
The targets are quite specific when compared to the recent past. The plan calls for a 17% reduction in CO2 emissions per unit of GDP compared to 2025 levels. It also aims to boost non-fossil energy use to 25% of the total energy mix.
A massive pivot to green energy infrastructure.
Can the grid really handle such a rapid transformation?
