CCTV says new clean power is expected to cover all demand growth by 2030

The projection and who reported it

China Central Television reported China is expected to meet every increment of electricity demand through 2030 with additional clean-energy generation. The outlook comes from the Academy of Macroeconomic Research, which is part of the National Development and Reform Commission, the country's leading economic planner. CCTV characterized the finding as an expectation drawn from the institute's report.

Where output stands now

Citing the institute, CCTV reported that renewable sources produced over 3 trillion kilowatt hours from January to September, contributing more than 40 percent of nationwide electricity during that period. Put differently, the figures represent the year's first nine months. The figure underscores how large a role cleaner power already plays in the overall mix.

Wind and solar's trajectory

The institute's report adds that wind and solar already account for a big share of new capacity added, and they are steadily shifting into major power providers. It also notes that wind and solar are steadily evolving into principal contributors to electricity production. By 2030, they are expected to be the main contributors to any additional electricity supply.
