Study: Nation first in new renewable power installations

A United Nations-backed organization said on Wednesday that China again led the world in new renewable power capacity installations last year, as well as investment in renewable energy.

China accounted for almost two-thirds of developing country investment in renewable power and fuels in 2014, according to the Global Status Report by the UN-backed Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century.

The gains came despite the nation's economic transition and industrial overcapacity, said experts.
