China has dominated global wind power capacity for 15 consecutive years, cementing its role as a renewable energy leader. New data reveals the country added over 57.84 million kilowatts of wind power capacity in 2024 alone – enough to power cities the size of Paris 20 times over! 🏙️⚡
With total installed capacity now at 580 million kilowatts (15.7% of national energy output), wind accounts for 10.1% of China's electricity consumption. "This isn't just about numbers – it's about rewriting the rules of energy," says Qin Haiyan of the Chinese Wind Energy Association.
🌍 Global Green Ambitions
Chinese wind tech is going worldwide, with turbines exported to 57 countries and 7 manufacturers building overseas factories. Meanwhile, China aims to hit 3.6 billion kilowatts in wind/solar capacity by 2035 – that's like adding 600 Eiffel Towers worth of clean energy infrastructure annually! 🗼♻️
The roadmap? 120 million kilowatts of new wind capacity yearly from 2026-2030, targeting 5 billion kilowatts by 2060. As Qin puts it: "We're not just chasing targets – we're building the blueprint for a carbon-neutral future." 📈🌱
