China added almost twice as much utility-scale solar and wind power capacity in 2023 than in any other year. By the first quarter of 2024, China’s total utility-scale solar and wind capacity reached 758 GW, though data from China Electricity Council put the total capacity, including distributed solar, at 1,120 GW.
China's overall power generation capacity grew by 13.9% over the course of 2023 to reach a total of 2919 GW. Alongside new solar projects, the country's wind power generation capacity jumped by 20.7%, the data showed.
Over January-March 2024 alone, China added another 45.74 GW of new solar capacity (up from 12.08 GW the previous year) and 15.5 GW of wind, according to the National Energy Administration (NEA) of China. This brings more confidence that the renewable capacity surge in 2023 will continue.
Thanks to the unprecedented solar capacity growth in 2023, a record-breaking 473 GW of renewable power capacity was built worldwide – a 54% increase from 308 GW in 2022. The strong growth in 2023 brought the world closer to achieving the ambitious goal of tripling renewable capacity by 2030.
