The government\u2019s target for additional renewable energy installations by 2025 is 200 GW, which I believe is still a conservative estimate. The potential for renewable energy development in China by 2025 far exceeds this target, and the actual installed capacity will most likely surpass it.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIn particular, developed provinces in the eastern region, where the energy demand is high, are well-positioned to accelerate the deployment of distributed photovoltaic projects. This will enable these provinces to reduce their reliance on coal power earlier.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWith increased renewable energy capacity, it is increasingly possible that by 2025, renewable sources will meet all new electricity demand. This paves the way for China\u2019s power sector to achieve peak emissions by 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>ENDS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>For media enquiries please contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Qilin Liu, Greenpeace East Asia, Beijing, (<a href=\"mailto:qilin.liu@greenpeace.org\">qilin.liu@greenpeace.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace International Press Desk, pressdesk.int@greenpeace.org, +31 20 718 2470 (24 hours)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beijing &#8211; According to China Electric Power News, 14 out of China\u2019s 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities now have new energy sources dominating their power generation structures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":8770,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"p4_og_title":"","p4_og_description":"","p4_og_image":"","p4_og_image_id":"","p4_seo_canonical_url":"","p4_campaign_name":"","p4_local_project":"","p4_basket_name":"","p4_department":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[100],"p4-page-type":[14],"class_list":["post-8769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-climate-energy","tag-renewable-energy","p4-page-type-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/eastasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/eastasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/eastasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/eastasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/eastasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8769"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/eastasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8769\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8775,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/eastasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8769\/revisions\/8775"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/eastasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/eastasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/eastasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/eastasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8769"},{"taxonomy":"p4-page-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/eastasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/p4-page-type?post=8769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
