EcoChina | From Gobi to sea: wind power forms cornerstone of China's green transition

BEIJING, Jan. 25 (Xinhua) -- China is the undisputed global powerhouse in wind energy. From the Gobi to the sea, wind power forms a cornerstone of the country's transition toward a cleaner and more sustainable development model.

For 15 consecutive years, China has ranked first worldwide in installed wind power capacity. By the end of November 2025, its total installed capacity had exceeded 600 million kilowatts, far exceeding that of any other nation, official data show.

With vast onshore wind farms across its northern and western regions and rapidly expanding offshore projects along the eastern coastline, China's wind energy not only provides clean electricity to millions of households but also plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions.

Beyond its borders, China has actively shared its green achievements. During the 2021-2025 period, the wind power and photovoltaic products China exported helped reduce around 4.1 billion tons of carbon emissions in other countries, official data show.

Bolstered by the world's largest renewable energy system, ongoing technological innovation and strong policy support, China is poised to continue international cooperation in advancing the global transition to a green, low-carbon future, contributing to the shared vision of a clean and beautiful world.
