About this Dataset
China recorded 14.2 % of total final energy consumption in 2023. That is unchanged on the previous period. Across 1990–2023 the series ranges from 11.6 in 2013 to 34.4 in 1990.
This page tracks renewable energy as a share of total final energy consumption in China from 1990 to present. The renewable energy transition is reshaping energy costs, regulatory risk, and decarbonisation timelines.
Data sourced from UN SDG Global Database (IEA/IRENA/UNSD) via its public REST API. Values use harmonised methodology intended for cross-country comparison.
Frequently Asked Questions
This page tracks renewable energy as a share of total final energy consumption in China from 1990 to present. The renewable energy transition is reshaping energy costs, regulatory risk, and decarbonisation timelines. It is published by UN SDG Global Database (IEA/IRENA/UNSD) and updated annually.
The most recent observation covers 2023. UN SDG Global Database (IEA/IRENA/UNSD) typically publishes this series with a lag of several months after the reference period. The series runs 1990–2023 (34 observations).
The series peaked at 34.4 % of total final energy consumption in 1990 and reached its lowest recorded value of 11.6 in 2013. The latest reading of 14.2 in 2023 is unchanged on the previous period.
