On February 7, according to the latest data from the National Energy Administration, by the end of December 2023, the national renewable energy power generation capacity reached 151.6 billion kilowatts, accounting for 51 of the country's power generators9%。This figure accounts for nearly 40% of the world's renewable energy power generators, demonstrating China's significant advantages and strong strength in the field of renewable energy.
In 2023, China's new installed renewable energy capacity will reach 30.5 billion kilowatts, accounting for 82 percent of the country's new installed power generation capacity7%, which is much higher than the rest of the world. Globally, China accounts for more than half of the world's new installed capacity, a figure that exceeds the rest of the world combined. This shows that China has reached the world's leading level in the speed and scale of development in the field of renewable energy.
In addition to the growth of installed capacity, China's renewable energy generation has also shown explosive growth. In 2023, the country's renewable energy generation will be close to 3 trillion kWh, accounting for 1 3 of the total electricity consumption of the whole society. Behind this figure is China's strong strength and huge potential in the field of renewable energy power generation. At the same time, it also provides solid support for China's energy structure adjustment and green development.
In terms of investment, in 2023, the country's major renewable energy power generation projects will complete an investment of more than 769.7 billion yuan, accounting for about 80% of the total investment in power projects. This figure shows that China's investment in renewable energy is increasing, which provides a strong guarantee for the rapid development of the renewable energy industry.
In addition, China has a strong presence in the manufacture of key components for renewable energy. In 2023, the output of key components such as wind turbines will account for more than 70% of the global market, and the output of photovoltaic polysilicon, silicon wafers, cells and modules will account for more than 80% of the global market. This shows that China has a strong competitive advantage in all aspects of the renewable energy industry chain, not only leading the world in terms of installed capacity and power generation, but also dominating key technologies and equipment.
These data fully prove China's firm determination and strong measures to promote the development of renewable energy. With the continuous development of China's economy and the optimization and upgrading of its industrial structure, the renewable energy industry is expected to become an important engine to promote the high-quality development of China's economy. At the same time, China's leading position in the field of renewable energy has also made a positive contribution to global green development, providing valuable experience and reference for countries around the world.
