Industry Overview
China has built the world’s largest and most comprehensive new energy industrial cluster, with its installed capacity of photovoltaic and wind power ranking first globally for consecutive years. New energy vehicles, along with lithium batteries and photovoltaics, are collectively known as the “new three essentials,” becoming the core hallmark of green transformation and industrial collaboration.
Photovoltaic industry
China dominates the global photovoltaic industry chain, with polysilicon, silicon wafers, cells, and modules accounting for over 80% of production capacity, demonstrating significant technological and cost advantages. Large-scale photovoltaic bases spread across the Gobi Desert in the northwest and mountainous areas in the southwest serve not only as clean energy projects but also as distinctive industrial tourism landscapes.
Wind power base
Onshore and offshore wind power installations consistently rank first in the world, forming wind power corridors with capacities of tens of millions of kilowatts in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu, Hebei, and other regions, while offshore wind power clusters are rapidly emerging. The manufacturing and operation systems for wind turbines are mature, and green energy corridors combine ecological value with industrial aesthetics.
New Energy Vehicle Industry Chain
With a complete industrial chain ranging from power batteries, motor control systems to vehicle manufacturing, it ranks first globally in production, sales, and exports, featuring comprehensive smart connectivity, battery swapping, and charging infrastructure. It serves not only as a benchmark for transportation revolution but also as a key window to experience China’s intelligent manufacturing and green mobility.
