中国国家能源局公布的数据显示[1]，今年前6个月煤电发电量占总发电量的49.7%，首次低于50%[1]。同期可再生能源发电量占全部发电量的41.2%，首次超过四成[1]。
风电和太阳能发电装机容量合计达到19.5亿千瓦，较上年同期增长16.8%[1]。这两类能源的发电总量突破1.2兆千瓦时，约占全社会用电量的四分之一[1]。截至2025年底，中国可再生能源总装机容量达到23.4亿千瓦[1]。其中风电和太阳能累计并网装机首次超过18亿千瓦，相当于约82个三峡电站的总装机容量[1]。
China's National Energy Administration announced a significant milestone in the country's energy transition, with coal-fired electricity generation accounting for 49.7% of total power output in the first half of the year—marking the first time this share has dropped below 50% [1]. Renewable energy generation reached 41.2% of overall electricity production, also surpassing the 40% threshold for the first time [1].
The shift reflects rapid expansion in wind and solar capacity. Combined installed capacity for wind and solar power reached 1.95 billion kilowatts, representing a 16.8% increase compared to the same period last year [1]. These two sources generated over 1.2 trillion kilowatt-hours, equivalent to approximately one-quarter of total national electricity consumption [1]. By the end of 2025, China's total renewable energy installed capacity reached 2.34 billion kilowatts [1], with cumulative grid-connected wind and solar installations for the first time exceeding 1.8 billion kilowatts—a capacity roughly equivalent to 82 Three Gorges Dam facilities combined [1].
