By 2025, China is projected to install 2.8 billion kilowatts of wind power generation capacity. This forecast was released on May 28 by the National Energy Administration during a press conference. The report highlights that through the “Wind Power Improvement Plan,” there will be a significant increase in the development of wind power, including the rapid construction of offshore wind farms, advancements in deep-sea wind power development, and the promotion of new energy distribution. The plan aims to enhance the supply of renewable energy and strengthen energy resources.
The National Energy Administration’s director, Zhang Jianhua, indicated during the press conference that by 2024, the expected capacity for wind power generation is set to reach 3.7 billion kilowatts, showcasing an upward trend in capacity growth. This includes the establishment of key wind power projects and the implementation of deep-sea wind power trials. The total planned offshore wind power capacity is projected to be 26 million kilowatts, with a focus on integrating new energy technologies and promoting offshore wind power technology.
The Energy Law is set to be implemented, with revisions to the Renewable Energy Law aimed at accelerating the adoption of green energy. China is committed to establishing a new energy system, emphasizing the rapid development of new energy projects and the establishment of efficient energy supply systems. By 2025, during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, China aims to achieve its carbon peak target while working towards the construction of a new energy system.
The report forecasts that by 2025, the planned capacity for hydropower generation will be approximately 500 million kilowatts, with large-scale hydropower capacity reaching around 900 million kilowatts. Additionally, the anticipated capacity for pumped storage hydropower is expected to be around 800 million kilowatts, with traditional hydropower capacity projected between 4000 million and 5000 million kilowatts. The new hydropower generation capacity is also set to incorporate 8000 million kilowatts of additional capacity from wind power.
The National Energy Administration’s design guidelines highlight that the new energy system being developed aims to promote the efficiency of energy generation while facilitating the rapid construction of new energy supply infrastructures. This includes enhancing high-voltage power transmission systems and integrating intelligent energy networks, which will contribute to the fast-paced advancement of renewable energy resources.
In summary, China’s renewable energy sector is poised for significant growth, with a focus on offshore wind power, hydropower, and other renewable sources. The strategic goals set for 2025 indicate a strong commitment to expanding renewable energy capabilities and achieving sustainability targets.
