Texas Got 18 Percent of Its Energy from Wind and Solar Last YearRobert Fares
China has fast-tracked its green drive in recent years, bringing a boom in development within the new-energy sector, with a world-beating installed capacity. Electricity derived from wind and solar energy has accounted for 11.7 percent of China's total power generation. The sector has basically ...
In the first seven months of 2024, wind and solar power generation totaled 1.05 trillion kilowatt hours, accounting for roughly 20 percent of China's total electricity generation. China's new energy industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, maintaining a double-digit annual growth rate...
In Inner Mongolia, approximately 31.8 percent of the total population consists of farmers and herders like Li. Since their homes were not connected to the central heating system, they had to primarily rely on coal-fired heaters. To reduce air pollution, the region earmarked 160 million yuan (ab...
The figure far exceeds the second-ranked nation, the United States, which is building a total of just 40 GW, the report said. It said China has broken ground on a third of new wind and solar capacity it has announced to date, compared to a global average of ju...

“Solar is producing 15 percent of total energy right now,” Joshua Rhodes, a research scientist at the University of Texas at Austin, said on a sweltering day in the state capital last week, when a larger-than-usual share of power was coming from the sun. So far this year, abo...
According to the NEA, newly installed capacity of renewable energy, including solar and wind, reached 152 million kW last year, or 76.2 percent of the country's total newly added installed energy capacity. The administration vowed to further step up ...
