China has scaled back its five-year plan for renewable energy, setting a target for renewable power generation to account for more than 50% of additional electricity consumption over 2021-25, down from a previous goal of two-thirds.
In March 2021, Li Chuangjun, director of the Department of New Energy and Renewable Energy Sources of the National Energy Administration, said renewables would make up two-thirds of the increase in electricity consumption through 2025.
