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 % of total final energy consumption in 2013 to 34.4 % of total final energy consumption in 1990.
This page tracks renewable energy as a share of total final energy consumption in China. 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. 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 % of total final energy consumption in 2013. The latest reading is 14.2 % of total final energy consumption in 2023. That is unchanged on the previous period.
