China Electric Power Sector Report 2021-2025

Coal power still has a towering presence in China’s electricity generation, but the share of nuclear and renewable energy keeps increasing as the country is changing course towards a cleaner energy mix. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the share of coal-fired capacity in China’s total installed capacity will decrease from 58% in 2016 to 32% by 2040 and the installed low-carbon capacity, led by hydropower, wind and solar photovoltaics (PV), will account for 60% of total capacity by 2040. In 2019, China ranked first globally in terms of installed power generation capacity, consumption and power grid scale. Domestically, the country is undergoing a reform towards market-based electricity transactions.​
