China is undertaking an energy-building boom unlike anything the world has ever seen, as Beijing seeks to ensure supply for power-hungry facilities that are key to dominating emerging industries of the future.
The nation added 543 gigawatts of new capacity across all technologies last year, according to data from the National Energy Administration on Wednesday. That’s 12% more than all the power plants combined in India as of the end of 2024. The generation China has added since the end of 2021 is also larger than the entire US system.
