According to the National Energy Administration (NEA), the combined installed capacity of solar and wind reached approximately 1,840 GW by the end of 2025, accounting for over 47% of the nation's total power capacity and overtaking thermal power for the first time in history. . In a landmark development for China's energy landscape, 2025 marked the first time solar power generation eclipsed wind energy. This historic transition stems from the aggressive expansion of photovoltaic (PV) systems, fueled by a staggering 80% reduction in global panel costs over the last ten. . Note: NEA considers utility-scale solar to include projects of at least six megawatts of installed alternating current capacity. Utility-scale solar power capacity in China reached more than 880 gigawatts (GW) in 2024, according to China's National Energy Administration. Rapid solar capacity expansion overwhelms the grid, PV manufacturers compete for market shares, and then large target markets slap import tariffs on Chinese PV products, taking off their competitive edge. So there is a lot of uncertainty in the. .
