China's non-fossil fuel energy sources now exceed 50% of its total installed electricity generation capacity, state media outlet Xinhua said on Monday, citing an official at state planner the National Reform and Development Commission.
Undeniably good news. Hopefully their electricity consumption figures follow suit soon. I know they’re working on enhancing transmission and energy storage to make sure that renewable production doesn’t go to waste.
The per capita electricity consumption will likely increase in the coming years, but compared to developed nations it is still low. Developing storage tech will be important for everyone as wind and solar are so weather dependent. Hope they figure it out, China’s development of solar production has already been a boon to cheaper solar panels in the world.

Yeah, I’ve heard somewhere that the hardest (and most expensive) part of electricity is transmission and storage.
