Last year, the scale of newly installed renewable energy capacity in China exceeded the total of other regions worldwide. The country is expected to remain an indispensable force driving the development of the global renewable energy industry, it said. Countries worldwide are lagging in their actual actions to achieve the goal of doubling global renewable energy capacity by 2030. The installed capacity of renewable energy saw record growth last year, said IEA's senior energy analyst Heymi Bahar. According to the agency, Chinese investments in energy remained extremely strong, accounting for one-third of clean energy investments worldwide and an important share of China's overall GDP growth.
