Fresh data from China’s National Energy Administration paints a vivid portrait of renewable dominance: 2.0947 billion green energy certificates issued in 2025, surpassing 2.9 billion in cumulative impact. Announced Thursday, this achievement celebrates the fruitful integration of wind, solar, and other clean sources into the national energy mix.
Tradable certificates numbered 1.893 billion, with December contributing 211 million—71.32% of which were market-ready. Trading volumes hit 930 million across the country, encompassing 250 million from dedicated green power initiatives.
Functioning as electronic vouchers, each certificate guarantees 1,000 kWh of renewable electricity, streamlining verification for consumers, businesses, and regulators alike. The system’s efficiency has sparked a trading boom, channeling investments into cutting-edge projects.
As coal’s reign wanes, these certificates emerge as linchpins in China’s sustainability blueprint. They empower precise measurement of green progress, spur competition, and attract global partnerships. With 2025’s records in hand, the path forward gleams with potential for exponential growth in clean energy deployment.
