Ember reports that in 2024 clean generation met 84% of China’s electricity demand growth, and in 2025 it exceeded demand growth, cutting fossil fuel use by 2%. This marks a tipping point where new renewables not only keep up with rising demand but actively displace fossil generation.
— If China’s power mix is now reducing fossil use, it accelerates the timing of a global fossil‑fuel peak and reshapes climate, trade and energy security strategies.
