In May alone, China's installations of wind and solar energy reached record levels with 93 GW of solar and 26 GW of wind capacity, equating to the electricity output of Poland. China has been aggressively building renewable energy infrastructure, achieving a total solar photovoltaic capacity that surpasses 1,000 GW, which is half of the global total. This surge came amid tensions in US-China climate negotiations, with past withdrawals from environmental agreements highlighting contrasting approaches to clean energy among the two nations.
China installed 93 GW of solar capacity last month—almost 100 solar panels every second—and wind power installations reached 26 GW, indicating a rapid growth in renewable energy.
Between January and May, China added 198 GW of solar and 46 GW of wind, generating sufficient power to match Indonesia or Turkey's total consumption.
