China’s renewables boom enters new phase as industrial transformation takes centre stage

Agora analysis highlights China’s clean energy shift towards system integration and industry. The new Five-Year Plan should further grid flexibility, demand-side response and industrial electrification to sustain emission cuts and enhance energy security.

Press release from Agora Energiewende

Berlin & Beijing, 17 June 2026. China’s ability to deliver sustained emission reductions now depends on translating its rapid renewable energy expansion into industrial transformation, according to a new analysis by Agora Energy China and Agora Energiewende.
