Target Achievement Year
All major targets set in the plan are expected to be met, including 3.5 billion kW installed capacity and 6 trillion kWh annual generation.
GEM/CREA curtailment report published
Global Energy Monitor and CREA publish estimates showing 26.1% of China's combined wind and solar output was rejected, using weather-adjusted data.
Plan Officially Rolled Out
China's National Development and Reform Commission and National Energy Administration jointly issue the 15th Five-Year Plan for renewable energy development.
NEA reports official H1 curtailment rates
The NEA states 8.6% of solar and 9.1% of wind output was curtailed in the first half of 2026, far below independent estimates.
China curtails 360 TWh in first half of 2026
China rejects 360 TWh of wind and solar output from January to June, up 49% year over year, per GEM/CREA. India curtails 8.13 TWh of solar in the same quarter.
NEA halts monthly provincial curtailment data
China's National Energy Administration stops publishing monthly curtailment data by province, reducing transparency around grid performance.
China rejected 360 TWh of wind and solar output in the first half of 2026 — a 49% jump — as transmission bottlenecks and coal-friendly supply contracts force grids to shed clean power. With curtailment now spreading to India, Australia, and Japan, vast zero-carbon generation is being left unused even as China's coal generation rebounds.

The newly released 15th Five-Year Plan outlines massive renewable energy expansion, setting a 2030 target of 3.5 billion kW total installed capacity and 6 trillion kWh annual generation, with wind and solar alone exceeding 2.8 billion kW. This plan accelerates the global energy transition and positions China to potentially peak emissions earlier.
