In 2025, China achieved new milestones in the development of wind and solar power generation. Firstly, the country saw a nationwide increase of over 430 million kilowatts in newly installed wind and solar power capacity (including 120 million kilowatts of wind power and 318 million kilowatts of solar power), marking a year-on-year growth of 22.0% and hitting a new historical high. The cumulative grid-connected installed capacity of wind and solar power reached 1.84 billion kilowatts, accounting for 47.3% of the total, historically surpassing thermal power. Secondly, the "green content" of electricity consumption continued to increase. In 2025, the nationwide wind and solar power generation increased by 25% year-on-year, accounting for 22% of total electricity generation, effectively driving the proportion of renewable energy in electricity generation to nearly 40%.

Since the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan, China's new energy sector, represented by wind and solar power, has witnessed an unprecedented development. The cumulative installed capacity has reached 3.4 times that of the end of 2020. The contribution of this transformation has become increasingly prominent, with the electricity share increasing by more than 12 percentage points. China has successfully accomplished all the goals and tasks outlined in the 14th Five-Year Plan, achieving large-scale and high-proportion leapfrog development. This has laid a solid foundation for achieving carbon peaking by 2030 and meeting the voluntary contribution targets by 2035 as scheduled.
