Solar power has surpassed coal as China’s leading source of installed electricity capacity, marking a significant shift in the country’s energy landscape. The milestone reflects rapid growth in renewable development, supported by large investments in photovoltaic projects and grid infrastructure. Coal remains important for meeting electricity demand, but its share of total capacity is being challenged by expanding clean-energy installations. China’s changing power mix could influence emissions, energy security, technology markets, and efforts to accelerate transition away from fossil fuels.
