my country's wind power and solar power installed capacity account for about half of the world's total installed capacity of new energy.

China News Service, Beijing, October 26 (Reporter Ruan Yulin) "my country's wind and solar power installed capacity has ranked first in the world for many years in a row. The 2 billion kilowatt installed capacity accounts for about half of the world's total installed new energy capacity, demonstrating my country's firm determination and remarkable results in coping with climate change and promoting energy transformation." Liu Zhiqiang, deputy director of the Planning and Development Department of the China Electricity Council, said on the 26th.

Official data shows that as of the end of September 2026, my country's total installed wind power and solar power generation capacity exceeded 2 billion kilowatts, reaching 2.01 billion kilowatts, marking that my country's new energy development has reached a new historical level.

Liu Zhiqiang said that from the perspective of installed capacity structure, the total installed capacity of wind power and solar power has exceeded 2 billion kilowatts, which means that the dominant position of new energy in my country's power installed structure has been further consolidated, and the construction of a new power system with new energy as the main body has made phased progress.

From the perspective of power supply, the installed capacity of 2 billion kilowatts provides more sufficient green power guarantee for economic and social development. The power supply structure continues to be optimized, and the green and low-carbon transformation has achieved remarkable results.

From the perspective of industrial development, this achievement further consolidates my country's leading advantage in the global new energy industry chain, strongly supports the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industries such as new energy material research and development, equipment manufacturing, and intelligent operation and maintenance, drives regional economic development and employment growth, and injects strong momentum into the cultivation of new productivity.

Liu Zhiqiang said that under the guidance of energy powers and the new round of NDC goals, my country's new energy development will still maintain a strong momentum. In the future, with the continuous improvement of the system's ability to regulate resources, the continuous improvement of the power market mechanism, and the continuous breakthroughs in consumption and utilization technology, new energy will achieve qualitative improvements on the basis of scale expansion, gradually realize safe and reliable replacement of traditional energy, and provide solid support for the realization of the "double carbon" goal.
