Li Yucheng, the head of the National Energy Administration of China, has emphasized that China is now a global leader in renewable energy development. His remarks were made during the 2025 Renewable Energy Conference, which took place from October 16 to 18 in Shanghai.
According to Li, China has already positioned itself as a frontrunner in the global renewable energy sector, particularly in solar and wind energy applications. By mid-2025, the country is expected to significantly increase its renewable energy generation capacity, helping to meet the rising demand for electricity while reducing its reliance on carbon-based energy sources. The share of renewable energy in China’s total energy generation is projected to reach 40% by that time.
Li pointed out that China has been actively promoting energy transition through a combination of regulatory measures, innovation in technology, and financial support for green energy initiatives. The country aims to achieve substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, targeting a decrease of 7% to 10% over the next decade, with a goal of 30% reduction by 2035.
Furthermore, the government is committed to enhancing the efficiency of renewable energy technologies, with solar energy costs reduced by 89% and wind energy costs by 70% over recent years. This has made renewable resources more accessible and affordable, contributing to a sustainable energy future.
As China continues to lead in renewable energy, it is also focusing on international cooperation to strengthen its position in this sector. Li expressed optimism about future collaborations with other countries and the potential for shared technological advancements.
In conclusion, the ongoing efforts towards achieving sustainability in energy production are expected to not only support domestic energy needs but also contribute significantly to global efforts in combating climate change. The upcoming 2025 Renewable Energy Conference will further highlight these initiatives and reinforce China’s commitment to a greener future.
