Renewable energy capacity to expand

East China's Jiangsu province, the country's manufacturing heartland, will see its renewable energy consumption rise to over 15 percent of the province's total energy consumption by 2025, according to a recently released plan for renewable energy development. The province's installed capacity of renewable energy is expected to exceed 66 million kilowatts by 2025, accounting for over 34 percent of the province's total installed power-generation capacity. Of the province's total renewable energy capacity, the installed photovoltaic power capacity will reach over 35 million kilowatts, while the wind power capacity will exceed 28 million kilowatts by 2025. Jiangsu plans to build offshore wind power bases in its eastern coastal areas to meet the demand for clean energy.
