China's coal use flatlines as solar generation jumps 40%

SolarNews Brief

China's coal use flatlined in 2025 while solar generation rose 40% and storage capacity jumped 81%. The story is a major market signal because China remains the largest driver of global solar deployment and power-system flexibility demand.

China's coal consumption remained flat in 2025 as solar generation rose 40% year on year and wind power increased 13%, according to Asian Power's summary of the Energy Institute review. The report also notes 315 GW of new solar capacity in 2025 and an 81% rise in energy storage capacity between 2024 and 2025.
