[China’s photovoltaic power generation installed capacity has historically surpassed coal power and has become the power supply category with the largest installed capacity] September 1st, as of the end of July this year, China’s photovoltaic power generation installed capacity reached 1.286 billion kilowatts, including 704 million kilowatts of centralized photovoltaics and 582 million kilowatts of distributed photovoltaics. The installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation exceeded that of coal power for the first time, becoming the power source category with the largest installed capacity in China. (The installed capacity of coal power is 1.285 billion kilowatts) In July this year, the newly installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation was 13.73 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 43%. From January to July this year, the cumulative newly installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation was 85.65 million kilowatts, a year-on-year decrease of 62% (mainly affected by the rush for installation from January to May 2025, with a higher base in the same period); photovoltaic power generation reached 802.4 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 15.5%, exceeding the growth rate of electricity consumption in the entire society by 10.8 percentage points; photovoltaic power generation accounted for 13% of the electricity consumption in the entire society, an increase of 1.7 percentage points from last year's level. In recent years, photovoltaic power generation installed capacity and power generation have continued to maintain a rapid growth trend, and their role in ensuring power supply and promoting energy transformation has become increasingly prominent.
