In 2024 alone, China invested $625 billion in clean energy – 31% of the global total – with major expansions in storage and grids. That money doubled wind and solar capacity in China between 2021 and 2024 to 1,400 GW and tripled battery storage to nearly 95 GW. . China's approach to renewable energy buildout combines large-scale investment, technological innovation and market reform. China is installing more renewables than any other economy, but that rollout is not without its challenges. ” The report shows that China's massive investments in solar, wind, storage, and electrification are cutting fossil fuel use at home while sending clean tech. . The stark contrast in construction rates illustrates the active nature of China's commitment to building renewables projects. Utility-scale solar and wind power capacity in construction, by country Utility-scale solar and wind power capacity in the top ten countries broken down by status, in. . President Xi Jinping recently increased China's wind and solar installations target to 3,600 GW by 2035, equal to 42% of the global total by that point. But while the number is huge, it is a relatively modest goal given the pace of growth to date.
