China is moving to leadership in wind energy

In China in 2018, managed set of 9.46 GW. This is about half the capacity of wind farms in the UK — one of the industry leaders. In 2018, the introduction of new capacity by almost 23% higher than in the first seven months of last year.

In the first half of 2018 in China put into operation of 24.3 GW of solar power plants. The total capacity of solar generation has increased to 154.5 GW.

China in 2018 set as many batteries, how many in all previous years combined. So, at the beginning of 2018 in China was only 389 MW of installed capacity of energy storage systems. And until August 2018 in the country launched another 340 MW of new capacity.
