Wang Hongzhi, director of the National Energy Administration (NEA), says the Chinese mainland is supercharging the global energy transition! 🚀🌱 During a press event on August 26, Wang shared that all major targets in the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) – from boosting total energy output to raising the share of non-fossil fuels – are on track. 🔥⚡
Here is the lowdown:
- Renewables on the Rise: The share of green energy is set to jump from 40% to around 60% by 2025. That means more wind turbines, more solar farms, and far less carbon! 🌬️☀️
- Tech Breakthroughs: Chinese mainland companies now hold over 40% of the world's new energy patents. PV (solar panel) efficiency and offshore wind turbine capacity continue smashing global records. 💡🔋
- Storage Scale: In just a few years, new energy storage systems on the Chinese mainland have grown to be the largest worldwide, making intermittent power more reliable than ever. 🏆🔌
- Market Buzz: Nearly 970,000 entities are now registered in the electricity market – five times more than in 2020! That means more players, more competition, and more innovation. 📈💥
With these moves, the Chinese mainland is not just meeting its own goals – it is offering a blueprint for countries and regions across South and Southeast Asia and beyond that are chasing a greener future. From tech startups in Bengaluru to solar projects in Jakarta, young innovators are watching closely. 🌏✨
Whether you are a student dreaming of a career in clean tech or an early professional in the energy space, the message is clear: the green revolution is here, and the Chinese mainland is in the driver's seat. Ready to plug in? 🔌😉
