China Curtails More Renewables as Record Additions Stress Grid

Bloomberg.com · last updated

More wind and solar power is going to waste in China as record additions of turbines and panels in recent years continue to strain the grid.

About 6.2% of wind power and 6.1% of solar power were curtailed in the first two months of the year, an agency under the National Energy Administration said in a report. Over the same period in 2024, just 4% of wind and 4.3% of solar were unable to be used.
