China’s wind and solar energy additions eclipse coal in historic first

China is undergoing a transformative shift in its energy landscape. For the first time ever, wind and solar energy have as of June this year collectively eclipsed coal in capacity, according to the latest data from the country’s National Energy Administration (NEA). Rystad Energy’s analysis forecasts that by 2026, solar power alone will surpass coal as China's primary energy source, with a cumulative capacity exceeding 1.38 terawatts (TW)—150 gigawatts (GW) more than coal.
