China topping the world table in renewable power

摘要

China currently leads the world in new renewable energy power installations and investments into the country's renewable energy infrastructure. These notable gains are being delivered despite the nation's current economic transition and industrial overcapacity, says a recent renewable energy industry report. Current data in the Global Status Report, from the UN-backed Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century, says that China led the worlds investments into hydropower, wind power and solar power. Direct investments into Chinas renewable energy sector during 2014 were $83.3 billion. This high level of investment compares most favorably with the $62.2 billion invested by the country during 2013.
