Russian media: China's sunshine and wind are more powerful than fossil fuels!
Media such as Russia's "Observer News" published articles on April 26.
China's energy regulatory agency said on Friday that for the first time in history, renewable energy generation exceeded that of coal, natural gas, and oil-fired power plants by the end of March.
By the end of March 2025, the installed capacity of solar and wind farms reached 1,482 GW, surpassing the total capacity of power plants fueled by coal, natural gas, and others.
China remains one of the few countries still building new coal-fired power plants, but at the same time, in recent years, the number of newly established facilities in this sector has reached record levels as the use of renewable energy accelerates.
Russian media pointed out: Just getting renewable energy to the grid is still a problem. According to Reuters, despite an increase in its share in China's energy balance, it has not increased proportionally in the power grid, and network companies still prefer electricity supplied by power plants operated with fossil fuels.
The State Energy Department reported on Friday that only 22.5% of the electricity delivered to consumers in the first quarter was wasted, nearly half of the wind and solar energy.
This is really a problem, why is half of the wind and solar energy wasted?
