China’s clean-energy equipment output rises sharply
At a clean-energy equipment conference in Deyang, Sichuan, Chinese industry leader Xu Niansha said China’s clean-energy equipment supply is growing.
In the first half of 2026, output of nuclear power generator sets rose 92% from a year earlier, while hydro and wind power equipment output grew 51.9% and 11.5%.
Since the start of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan, the industry has developed rapidly, and the country’s hydro, wind, solar and biomass power capacity has ranked first worldwide for several years.
Exports of transformers, electrical control equipment and solar products also increased, and Chinese equipment now reaches more than 200 countries and regions.
Xu said the industry is at a key point in its shift to higher-quality growth and must use research and new technologies to upgrade.
The goal is to strengthen innovation and competitiveness as China builds its energy system and competes internationally.
China’s output of nuclear, hydropower and wind power generating units rose sharply in the first half of 2026.
Production of nuclear power generating units increased 92.0% year on year, hydropower units rose 51.9%, and wind power units rose 11.5%.
Xu Niansha, head of the China Machinery Industry Federation, gave the figures at the 2026 World Clean Energy Equipment Conference in Deyang, Sichuan.
Exports of transformers, electrical control devices and photovoltaic products also increased in the first half of the year.
China’s clean-energy equipment exports reached more than 200 countries and regions.
