By the first quarter of 2024, China''s total utility-scale solar and wind capacity reached 758 GW, though data from China Electricity
Most are individual photovoltaic power stations, but some are groups of co-located plants owned by different independent power producers and with separate transformer connections to the grid.
Wind and solar now account for 37% of the total power capacity in the country, an 8% increase from 2022, and widely expected to surpass coal capacity, which is 39% of the total right now,
China accounted for over 60% of these renewable installations, with 278 GW of new solar capacity and 80 GW of new wind capacity. Renewable installations were also steady in the EU
