China plans to connect at least 200 gigawatts of new solar and wind power capacity to its grid between 2025 and 2027. This is according to a new „Action Plan for Optimizing Grid Control Capacity“ from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). The plan states that curtailment, meaning the shutdown of renewable energies during peak production phases to protect the power grid, will be reduced to less than ten percent of capacity, a slight increase from the previous target of five percent.
