China's installed capacity of offshore wind power ranks first in the world

According to the recently released "World Energy Blue Book: World Energy Development Report (2022)", China's installed capacity of renewable energy power generation has exceeded 1 billion kilowatts, and the installed capacity of offshore wind power ranks first
in the world.
It is estimated that by 2025, the electricity consumption of China's emerging industries will account for about 20%
of the electricity consumption of the whole society.
Before 2030, China's installed coal power capacity may reach a peak
of 1.
26 billion kilowatts.

The Blue Book predicts that global electricity demand growth will slow between 2023 and 2024, and renewable energy will account for more than
32% of the world's total electricity supply by 2024.
Among them, most of the power supply growth from 2021 to 2024 will be in China, accounting for about half
of the total net growth.

China's current power demand growth rate is much higher than the global level, some high-speed development of emerging industries have the characteristics of high energy consumption, 24-hour uninterrupted operation, such as 5G base stations, data centers and other new infrastructure power consumption, the vigorous development of the semiconductor industry, the transformation of the steel industry, etc.
will also promote the growth of
electricity consumption in the whole society.
Under the "dual carbon" goal, the manufacturing process of photovoltaic generator sets also shows the characteristics
of high energy consumption.
The Blue Book predicts that by 2025, the electricity consumption of China's emerging industries will account for about 20%
of the electricity consumption of the whole society.

China's renewable energy generation is growing
steadily.
Data show that by the end of 2021, China's installed capacity of renewable energy power generation reached 1.
063 billion kilowatts, accounting for 44.
8% of the total installed capacity of power generation, of which the installed capacity of wind power exceeded 300 million kilowatts, and the installed capacity of offshore wind power ranked first
in the world.
In 2021, China's renewable energy power generation reached 2.
48 trillion kWh, accounting for 29.
8% of the entire society's electricity consumption; Nuclear power also maintained a good growth trend, with the number of operating units nationwide increasing by 8.
2% year-on-year and installed capacity increasing by 7.
1%
year-on-year.

At present, energy storage technology is gradually maturing and moving towards application, and clean energy, nuclear energy, etc.
are accelerating development
.
The Blue Book predicts that coal power will still be the main force of China's power structure before 2025, and by 2030, China's installed coal power capacity may reach a peak of 1.
26 billion kilowatts
.
Subsequent until 2060, coal will become an emergency energy supply, and the steady and orderly reduction of coal power will be promoted, which will help the stability of China's power system and reduce social and economic risks
