By the end of September 2026, China's combined wind and solar installed capacity officially topped 2 billion kilowatts. Solar capacity reached 1.31 billion kW, up 16.5% year on year, while wind power reached 700 million kW, rising 20.4%. This milestone anchors renewable energy as the backbone of China's powergrid, while driving tech upgrades across the entire supply chain.

Alongside generating more green power, China is stepping up energy conservation across the board – from upgrading factory equipment and constructing energy-efficient buildings to expanding electric buses and green transit. As the 31st session of the Conference of the Parties (COP31) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change convenes to push for real-world climate delivery, China's proven renewables and energy-saving track record provide a practical blueprint for the low-carbon transition across the Asia-Pacific and the world.
