🇨🇳 China installed 464 GW of solar capacity in the 12 months to June☀️. That's more than the total EU solar capacity as of 2024 (338 GW) and DOUBLE the total US solar capacity (229 GW). in just 12 months.

Why do we need renewable targets?. Great op-ed by my colleagues @KatyeAltieri and @CleanPowerDave on the need for and merit of setting targets for wind, solar, grid etc.

Our regularly updated wind and solar capacity dataset is now also accessible in our API ⚡. More things on monthly capacity installations coming soon 👀.

This truly shows the speed of China's electricity demand growth and more recently electrification:. In July 2015, China's electricity demand exceeded 500 TWh for a single month for the first time . exactly 10 years later, in July 2025, it crossed 1000 TWh! 🤯. 2x in a decade

Check out the excellent report by my colleagues Libby Copsey and Matt Ewen out today:

We've made all of this data openly available and added cell and wafer exports to our @ember_energy China solar PV export explorer

Cells and wafers now make up over 40% of China's panel product capacity exports with the share of cells doubling since 2022. The downstream market of module/panel manufacturing is diversifying and building up in other countries, but those markets still need cells.

NEW | China's solar panel exports to the world are consolidating, but there's a new game in town: Solar cells 🇨🇳☀️. Panel exports have been flat for over a year, but cell exports have now reached a capacity equivalent of 76 GW for the last 12 months, driven by exports to India

Sometimes you wonder how @SecretaryWright will look back on this in 10 years (maybe even on the board of an energy company building wind). These people claim to think from “first principles” and I guess it’s true, but the first principle is Donald Trump, not physics or economics.

Here's what the August 6th at 7:15 PM looked like just four years ago. - Batteries at 5.7% (28% in 2025).- Imports at 15% (1.2% in 2025).- Gas at 46% (38% in 2025). California now has massively reduced import (and gas) reliance in the evening.

Yesterday, California reached a new record for battery output, surpassing 11 GW for the first time. At 7:15 PM, California's grid scale batteries discharged 11.17 GW, meeting 28.2% of grid power demand ⚡️. California is enjoying midday solar power in the evening ☀️

Batteries are the ultimate multitool of the energy transition. They can deliver services far beyond just shifting supply and price arbitrage. Some, like frequency regulation and emergency support directly replace existing, less responsive and more expensive technologies.
