China Targets Clean Energy at 30 Percent of Power Generation by 2030

China released its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) announcing clean energy will rise to 30 percent of power generation, up from 22 percent today. Non-fossil energy will become the main power source by 2030, exceeding 50 percent.

China has released its energy development plan for 2026-2030, setting ambitious clean energy targets. The government aims to increase clean energy from the current 22 percent to 30 percent of total power generation by 2030. Non-fossil energy will represent 25 percent of total energy consumption, with wind and solar capacity exceeding 50 percent of installed power generation. By 2030, non-fossil energy will become the primary source of electricity, accounting for over 50 percent of power supply. The plan emphasizes strengthening national energy security, advancing green and low-carbon transition, and enhancing technological self-reliance. Additionally, China will conduct intensive energy conservation and emissions reduction upgrades in heavy industry between 2026 and 2028. Industry experts view these targets as realistic and achievable, potentially driving significant optimization of Chinas energy structure.
