Asia Pacific New Energy Capacity Hits Record
In the first half of 2025, Asia Pacific added over 120GW of solar PV capacity, up 28% year-on-year; added wind capacity exceeded 45GW, up 15% year-on-year. The Asia Pacific region continues to lead global new energy development.
China Solar Market Boom
China added over 75GW of solar capacity in H1, with distributed solar accounting for over 40%. Large-scale wind-solar base projects are accelerating, with utility-scale solar projects in Northwest and North China connecting to the grid at scale.
Offshore Wind Rapid Development
Offshore wind projects in China, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea and other Asia Pacific countries are being commissioned intensively. China added over 8GW of offshore wind capacity, maintaining its position as the global leader in cumulative installations.
Southeast Asia Market Emerges
Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries are experiencing rapid growth in solar and wind markets. Vietnam added over 5GW of solar capacity in 2025, while Thailand launched a large-scale renewable energy auction program.
Industry Chain Coordinated Development
The Asia Pacific solar and wind industry chain is becoming increasingly complete. China's solar module and wind turbine equipment exports continue to grow, driving coordinated development of the regional new energy industry chain and reducing overall installation costs.
