China solidified its position as the world's renewable energy leader as official data reveals wind power generation by industrial enterprises above designated size surpassed 1 trillion kilowatt-hours in 2025. This milestone comes as installed wind capacity reached 640 million kilowatts by year-end – equivalent to powering over 200 million households annually – accounting for 16% of the nation's total energy mix.
The achievement marks 15 consecutive years of global leadership in wind energy infrastructure development. Analysts attribute this growth to sustained investments in Xinjiang's Gobi Desert projects and coastal offshore wind farms, which have become engineering marvels attracting international attention.
Looking ahead to 2026, energy authorities plan to accelerate renewable expansion with targets to add 200 million kilowatts of combined wind and solar capacity. This ambitious roadmap aligns with China's dual carbon goals while creating new opportunities in green technology and sustainable infrastructure development across Asia.
