In September 2020, China’s President Xi Jinping told the U.N. General Assembly that the country is aiming to be carbon-neutral by 2060. In December he set a 2030 wind and solar capacity goal of 1,200 gigawatts, up from around 450 GW today. The publication of China’s 14 th five-year plan, covering 2021-2025, is expected this month. It will likely include more details on the first stages of this path to net-zero carbon. On Monday the nation’s grid company released its plan to make this happen. The State Grid Corporation of China is the world’s largest utility company. As of 2020, it was responsible for the transmission of that 450 GW of installed wind and solar power. Tripling that in a decade will be quite a challenge.
