The new energy generation accounts for 13.8 percent of the country’s total electricity consumption. It is basically equivalent to the amount of electricity consumption in China’s homes in the same period.

China remains the world leader for total installed capacity of wind and solar power, and this year China became the world leader in installed capacity of offshore wind power.
