China doubles down on coal with rapid roll-out of new railway track to the world’s largest deposit​

• 257km line from Zhundong open pit to Urumqi will increase the mine’s transport capacity to more than 100 million tonnes a year

China’s solar increased 33.7% in the 1st quarter of 2023, while coal increased 1.8%​

June 26, 2023

China’s solar increased by 33.7 % in the first quarter, while coal power increased at 1.8%. Solar now has a cumulative 430 GW online, almost half of China’s cumulative total of coal power plants; 1,130 GW.

The latest quarterly report by the China Electricity Council titled Operational Situation of Electric Power Industry from January to March 2023 indicates that solar (inclusive of both PV and CSP) grew at 33.7% year on year since 2022.​

[Ed: SolarPACES has been alerted to a mistranslation of the original Chinese, now corrected in this revised news item.]
“…Solar power generation now totals 430 million kilowatts (430 GW) (of which, photovoltaic power generation and solar thermal power generation added in the first quarter were 42,522 and 670,000 kilowatts, respectively), a year-on-year increase of 33.7%.”

The Top 5 Solar Countries in the World (2024)​

China- 430 GW​

China’s solar prowess is staggering. With a whopping 430 GW solar capacity (As of April 2023), the country is the largest producer of solar energy in the world.[/b] In the first six months of 2022, the nation has deployed more than 30.88 GW of Solar PV systems. Moreover, it has set goals to install 108 GW of solar power this year. The nation is also the largest manufacturer of solar equipment. According to reports, China has invested over 50 billion USD, in new PV supply capacity since 2011. This figure is ten times greater than the amount invested by the entire continent of Europe in the same industry.
China’s share in all manufacturing phases of solar panels exceeds 80%. Today, subsidy-free solar power has become cheaper than coal in China. In addition, the country has set ambitious goals for the future.
In its 14th Five-Year Plan released in June 2022; China has targeted that 33% of electricity generated in 2025 will come from renewables.[/SIZE]

The United States of America- 141.8 GW (3% compared to China's 33%)​

Japan- 84.9 GW

This is very sad, we are only adding 1 minute of battery powered electricity to the grid.

Thank you for this very bad news.

An easy claim to make for a state that imports energy and produces a very tiny amount of energy.

Abuafuk's ideas are all proven false. We can simply look at how the government gives 60% of the cost to all solar and wind projects/corporations and how the corporations then give part of our money back as campaign donations.

Aba fuc can not show us anywhere in the USA where the price of electricity has gone down.

Traditional sources of electricity cost 30$ per mwh, green energy costs, $200 per mwh.


Anything different is only temporary government policy dictating the price.

Tumble in storage battery costs to boost shift to renewables, says IEA​

April 25, 2024

LONDON, April 25 (Reuters) - An expected sharp fall in battery costs for energy storage in coming years will accelerate the shift to renewable energy from fossil fuels, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Thursday.

While renewable energy by itself is already much cheaper than coal and gas-fired plants, weather can interrupt solar and wind power and must be paired with energy storage systems to provide reliable sources of energy.

The total capital costs of battery storage are due to tumble by up to 40% by 2030, the Paris-based watchdog said in its Batteries and Secure Energy Transitions report.

"The combination of solar PV (photovoltaic) and batteries is today competitive with new coal plants in India," said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol.

"And just in the next few years, it will be cheaper than new coal in China and gas-fired power in the United States. Batteries are changing the game before our eyes."......

I am no longer going to report posts as this one as Moderation is so Poor there are no consequences for daily immature OCD Grudge TROLLS like you save deleting your post which would rob me of bumping my thread back to the top.
You should not even be here... as of 5 years ago.
So here ya go.

Given the supply and demand situation for lithium they should expect a sharp price increase. You'll see.

And what do you bozo's attribute the steep rise and fall to? Demand or supply?

Where is all this electricity going to go and how is it going to get there? I work for a large electric utility company. We can barely keep up with the solar coming online in our area. We’re having to build circuits specifically for solar sites because we can’t take the load on our distribution feeders. Unless this stuff can be generated it high voltage - 65 to 124KW and sent along Transmission infrastructure, it’s going to be a waste.

When every solar and wind farm has battery storage and surplus capacity to charge said battery storage then it can be considered comparable to other technologies. Until then, **** off.
