CHN Energy reports record year for renewable capacity

CHN Energy Investment Group is on track to step up investment in renewable energy and clean utilization of coal this year, after the group's renewable energy installed capacity hit a record high in 2024.

Last year, the company's newly installed and operational capacity of renewable energy surpassed 30 million kilowatts for the first time in history, company spokesman Huang Qing said during a news conference in Beijing on Thursday.

Renewable energy now accounts for over 40 percent of the company's total installed capacity, with the overall scale doubling compared to the end of the 13th Five-Year (2016-20) Plan, and achieving the 14th Five-Year (2021-25) Plan target one year ahead of schedule, said Huang.
