Are China's coal projects still a good investment in ?
The Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) and Global Energy Monitor (GEM) have released their H2 biannual review of China’s coal projects, which finds that coal is still holding strong despite skyrocketing clean energy additions in .
How does China's coal power expansion compare with global trends?
China’s coal power expansion contrasts with global trends. While China continues to add new capacity, the global coal fleet outside China shrank by 9.2 GW in , reinforcing China’s dominant role in shaping the future of coal power. China now accounts for 93% of global construction starts for coal power in .
How big is China's energy storage capacity?
According to CNESA data, the capacity of independent energy storage stations planned or under construction in China in the first half of was 45.3GW, accounting for over 80% of all new energy storage projects planned or under construction.
How many electrochemical storage stations are there in China?
In terms of developments in China, 19 members of the National Power Safety Production Committee operated a total of 472 electrochemical storage stations as of the end of , with a total stored energy of 14.1GWh, a year-on-year increase of 127%.
How much electricity does China generate a year?
China now generates over 3,300 TWh of clean electricity a year, sufficient to power India, the world’s third-largest electricity consumer, which used just over 2,000 TWh in . Meanwhile, the share of coal generation has decreased steadily, from nearly 80% in the mid-2000s, to around 70% in the mid-2010s, and further to 54.8% in .
Does China's Energy Strategy resemble 'energy addition'?
Although renewable powers have been deployed at an unprecedented pace, coal power has remained firmly in place, often limiting renewables integration and full utilisation. As a result, China’s energy strategy increasingly resembles ‘energy addition’, rather than a fundamental shift toward clean energy and away from coal.
