China's total installed power generation capacity reached approximately 3.04 billion kilowatts at the end of May, marking a 14.1 percent increase from a year ago, according to data from the National Energy Administration. The country is on track to surpass its 2023 record levels of wind and solar deployment, with solar capacity up 29% and wind up 21% for January to May. In May alone, China added 19 GW of solar power, significantly outpacing the United States, which added 2.4 GW. Additionally, China's state-owned CHN Energy Investment Group has launched a marine facility that integrates wind power generation with fish farming. China has also completed its highest-altitude 220-kilovolt power transmission and transformation project, crossing the Kunlun Mountains of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The China Renewable Energy Engineering Institute anticipates substantial growth in operational renewable energy projects this year. A major solar installation in the Kubuqi desert, with 4.4 million solar panels, is expected to generate 4TWh/yr and aid in reverse desertification.
May update to China's power grid show Solar & wind installations continue to expand @ faster pace than last yr w/ thermal dropping noticeably Electricity generation is up 8.8% YoY Thermal generation up 10% YoY We need to get to a pt of minimal thermal increase to really start… https://t.co/dGZlbIrmwI

China is adding solar power at an even faster rate than last year. 🇨🇳 Solar capacity added in May: 19 GW 🇺🇸 Solar capacity added in May: 2.4 GW We need permitting reform ASAP to keep up. https://t.co/a2uQjbPh7E
India to add 15.4GW of new coal power capacity in FY25, the most in 9 years, as rapid growth drives higher electricity demand. Renewables growth outpaced, but storage issues limit clean power expansion @CoalNewswire
Wonderful! China is on track in 2024 to beat its incredible 2023 record levels of wind and solar deployment. Solar is up 29% and wind up 21% for January to May. Indeed, wonderful! Thread below by the great @laurimyllyvirta is recommended. https://t.co/SvqcfUAzop
