Report: Renewables a major part in power generation by 2025

Renewable power generation capacity in China is expected to continue climbing in the next decade, with installed renewable energy, including wind, solar and hydro power, to account for more than half of the country's total generation capacity by 2025, a recent report said.

Renewable energy is expected to become a major part of capacity expansion for China's energy and power consumption by 2025 and account for more than 50 percent of the country's total installed power capacity, the China renewable energy development report 2020 released by the China Renewable Energy Engineering Institute said.

The increase in the renewable energy consumption will account for around half of the increments in primary energy consumption by the end of 2025 in the country, it said.
