Hey there! 🌟 Guess what? China has been super busy boosting its power generation. By the end of October, China increased its total power capacity by 14.5% compared to last year! That’s like adding a whole bunch of new power plants to keep the lights on. 💡
But here’s the coolest part: China is going big on renewable energy! 🌞🌬️ Solar power capacity shot up by an amazing 48%, reaching about 790 million kilowatts. That’s like having millions of solar panels soaking up the sun’s energy! And wind power? It’s up by 20.3%, now reaching about 490 million kilowatts. Imagine all those giant wind turbines spinning in the breeze!
From January to October, big power companies in China invested around 718.1 billion yuan (that’s about $99 billion!) in new power projects. That’s a lot of money! They’ve also spent over 450.2 billion yuan improving the power grid, which is the network that brings electricity to homes and schools.
In the first three quarters of 2024, China added over 200 million kilowatts of new renewable energy capacity. That’s more than 80% of all the new power they added! 🌱
China is working hard to reduce carbon emissions, which are gases that can harm our planet. 🌍 They’ve built the world’s most comprehensive plans to cut down on these emissions. In fact, they’ve reached their wind and solar power goals more than six years early! That’s like finishing your homework way before it’s due. 📚✨
Isn’t it exciting to see countries making big steps to protect our environment?
