China Emerges as Global Renewable Energy Champion

Jan 23, 2024


In a recent analysis by French media, it has been highlighted that China has taken significant strides to become a leading force in the global renewable energy sector. The report, titled "How Did China Become the Champion of Renewable Energy?" was published on January 15 by Radio France Internationale.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), 2023 witnessed a remarkable surge in global renewable energy capacity, with a 50% increase compared to 2022. Notably, China played a pivotal role in driving this historic growth, firmly establishing itself as a green powerhouse.

China's landscape now boasts vast photovoltaic (PV) solar farms situated in rural areas and deserts in the northern and western regions. Some of these solar farms are so expansive that they cover an area equivalent to 20 football fields and, when viewed from above, resemble giant pandas. Additionally, the country's renewable energy sources include numerous onshore and offshore wind turbines, along with an extensive array of solar panels installed on industrial facilities and residential rooftops.

Aurelien Sanz, a climate diplomacy expert at the Third Generation Environmentalism Institute based in Brussels, emphasized China's leadership role, stating, "Over the past decade, China has become the world's foremost producer of wind and solar equipment, as well as the largest investor in renewable energy. It is also the country experiencing the most robust growth in wind and solar power generation. In 2023, the number of solar panels deployed in China was equivalent to the global total from the previous year."

The Chinese government recognized the economic potential of solar and wind energy early on. Approximately 15 years ago, China initiated the development of the solar panel industry chain. Initially focused on exporting these products due to the high cost of solar power generation at that time, the strategy evolved over time.

Hami Bahar, an analyst at the International Energy Agency and the lead editor of the "2023 Renewable Energy" annual market report, explained, "Fifteen years ago, the Chinese government strategically decided to subsidize the solar panel industry to boost capacity. As technology and experience increased, the scale of solar panel production in China expanded rapidly, accompanied by a significant decrease in prices. Only then did China start installing solar panels domestically."

This trend is also evident in the wind energy sector, where factories producing turbines and components are operating at full capacity.

While China's production of renewable energy equipment and installed capacity has rapidly increased, the challenge now lies in integrating these facilities, mostly located in remote and uninhabited northern and western regions, into the national grid to supply power to major cities in the east.

As the United States and Europe strive to catch up in the clean energy competition, they find themselves relying on Chinese industries to drive their own energy transition efforts. China's dominance in renewable energy manufacturing and deployment marks a significant development in the global pursuit of sustainable and clean energy solutions.
