How big is China's Wind power?

This is roughly four times the global average for capacity under construction (9%). China’s wind capacity follows a similar rate of growth as solar, according to Global Energy Monitor’s Global Wind Power Tracker, with over 590 GW in prospective phases — nearly 530 GW of onshore capacity and 63 GW of offshore capacity.

Can a solar-wind system meet future energy demands?

Accelerating energy transition towards renewables is central to net-zero emissions. However, building a global power system dominated by solar and wind energy presents immense challenges. Here, we demonstrate the potential of a globally interconnected solar-wind system to meet future electricity demands.

How big is China's offshore wind powerhouse?

Of this, 510 GW is already under construction, primed to be added to China’s 1.4 TW solar and wind capacity already in operation. As of March 2025, China has emerged as the world’s offshore wind powerhouse — growing from under 5 GW in 2018 to 42.7 GW in 2025 (50% of global capacity).

How much solar power does China have?

China leads global utility-scale solar capacity for projects in announced, pre-construction, and construction phases. According to Global Energy Monitor’s Global Solar Power Tracker, China has over 709 GW 1 of prospective solar capacity, representing over one-third of planned solar capacity worldwide in 2025.
