China Targets 50% Non-Fossil Power by 2030

 

China has set a 2030 target for 50% of its power generation to come from non-fossil sources under the 15th Five-Year Plan for Building a New Energy System. The plan was jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration in June 2026.
China’s Energy Mix Targets



China’s non-fossil share of power generation stood at 41% in 2025, and the new target raises it to 50% by 2030. The plan also sets a target for non-fossil sources to account for 25% of total energy consumption by 2030, compared with 14% in 2025.

Installed Capacity and Storage Goals

Wind and solar power are expected to exceed 50% of China’s total installed power generation capacity by 2030, up from about 47% at the end of 2025. The plan targets non-pumped hydro energy storage capacity of 300 GW and pumped-storage hydropower capacity of 160 GW by 2030, compared with 62 GW in 2025.

Hydrogen, Nuclear Power and Grid Flexibility

China has set a target of 2 million tonnes per year of renewable-energy-based hydrogen production by 2030. Nuclear capacity is targeted at 110 GW by 2030, up from 62 GW in 2025. The plan also projects adjustable vehicle-to-grid charging capacity of about 50 GW and around 40 million charging facilities by 2030.
