China aims at establishing a national trading system by 2030, which would include all renewable power producers.

This duplication of generating capacity increases electricity infrastructure investment, thus increasing required return on investment and consumer electric rates.

most of the growth was seen in energy sustainability, digital transformation, renewable energy, and electrification of transportation.

Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said that when taking all solar and wind generation in account, the country added a whopping 101 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity in 2021.
