China’s Renewable Energy Breakthroughs

China has maintained robust growth momentum in its renewable energy development since the beginning of 2024, with its total installed green energy capacity exceeding 1.6 billion kilowatts, as new breakthroughs are achieved continuously to provide strong impetus for green development.

A million-kilowatt offshore photovoltaic project has recently commenced construction in the Bohai Sea. Over a dozen of construction vessels are laying more than two million solar panels across some 1,333 hectares on the sea surface.

Upon completion, the solar panels will be generating an estimated 1.78 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity each year, while the space underneath will be utilized for aquaculture, which is expected to bring in an annual income of about 3.77 million U.S. dollars.
