What is China's Wind power capacity?

1 All solar capacities are reported in MWac. China’s wind capacity follows a similar rate of growth as solar, according to Global Energy Monitor’s Global Wind Power Tracker, with over 590 GW in prospective phases — nearly 530 GW of onshore capacity and 63 GW of offshore capacity.

How big is China's solar & wind pipeline?

China is fast-tracking a 1.3 TW pipeline of utility-scale solar and wind projects. Of this, 510 GW is already under construction, primed to be added to China’s 1.4 TW solar and wind capacity already in operation.

How big is China's offshore wind powerhouse?

Of this, 510 GW is already under construction, primed to be added to China’s 1.4 TW solar and wind capacity already in operation. As of March 2025, China has emerged as the world’s offshore wind powerhouse — growing from under 5 GW in 2018 to 42.7 GW in 2025 (50% of global capacity).

How much wind power does China have in 2024?

This is in addition to China’s already operating 1.4 TW of solar and wind capacity, nearly 26% of which (357 gigawatts (GW)) came online in 2024. Though only a small portion of China’s overall renewable capacity, China’s offshore wind fleet contributes over 50% of the overall offshore wind capacity in construction worldwide.

Where is wind power generation data stored?

Wind power generation data are in the wind_farms folder, which includes six Microsoft Excel files. The real-time power generation and weather conditions are recorded in these files. The basic information about each wind farm is listed in Table 1.

How big is China's solar capacity?

About 161 GW (23%) of prospective capacity is in announced phases, while 261 GW (37%) is in pre-construction phases. China's construction capacity exceeds 40%, as 287 GW has broken ground. This is roughly four times the global average for capacity under construction (9%). 1 All solar capacities are reported in MWac.
