China has hit a major renewables milestone, with wind and solar generating 26% of the country’s electricity in April.
That’s the first month on record where the two technologies have together supplied more than a quarter of demand.
The record-breaking month, revealed by global energy think tank Ember, beats the previous high of 23.7% set just weeks earlier in March.
Solar output alone hit 96TWh – a new monthly record – while wind contributed 13.6% and solar 12.4% of total generation.

Last year, China added 333GW of new solar – more than the rest of the world combined – and it’s on track to outpace that figure again.
In the first three months of 2025 alone, 72GW of new solar capacity was installed, up 18% on the same period last year.
