By 2025, it is projected that the installed capacity of wind power in China will reach 2.8 billion kilowatts, representing a 21% decrease compared to 2024. Among these, onshore wind capacity is expected to decline by 28%!
As of May 29, 2025, the wind power capacity is projected to reach 2.8 billion kilowatts, marking a 21% decrease from the previous year. The onshore wind capacity is expected to drop by 28% during this period.
The China Renewable Energy Development Report 2024, released by the National Energy Administration on January 21, 2025, indicates that by the end of 2024, the cumulative installed capacity of wind and solar power will reach approximately 52,068 million kilowatts and 88,666 million kilowatts, respectively. For 2024, the projected new installed capacity for wind power is about 7,925 million kilowatts, while solar power is expected to reach approximately 27,717 million kilowatts, bringing the total to 3.56 billion kilowatts.
According to projections, the total installed capacity of wind power in 2025 is expected to decrease by 21% compared to the 3.56 billion kilowatts anticipated for 2024, with onshore capacity seeing a reduction of 28%. These figures also reflect the challenges and restrictions faced by the renewable energy sector in the future.
As such, the National Energy Administration has emphasized the need for ongoing efforts to promote the development of renewable energy, focusing specifically on enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of energy generation and consumption strategies.
The ESG Rating Center will provide support for 14 ESG services, including guidance, reporting, training, and consultation, aimed at integrating ESG concepts into corporate practices and improving performance in sustainable development.
By 2025, the estimated total installed capacity for wind power generation is projected to be around 2.8 billion kilowatts, with substantial advancements in renewable energy contributing to increased energy supply.
In summary, the anticipated reduction in wind power capacity by 2025 calls for strategic planning and investment in new energy sectors, particularly in offshore wind and solar energy, to ensure steady growth and sustainability in China’s energy landscape.
