January 2, 2025— A newswire website "New Energy Era (www.newenergyera.com)" has been officially launched today to provide latest news and insider interpretations about China’s energy policies and technologies for global audiences.
The“New Energy Era”website has been jointly established and operated by N.L. EnerTech Ltd., an energy industry watcher in China, and People of Asia for Climate Solutions (PACS), a non-profit climate advocate group in the Philippines. The writing and editing teams of New Energy Era are composed of experienced energy writers and climate communicators from both countries with extensive networks of energy policy makers, companies, and analysts in China.
“China is the world’s largest producer and exporter of clean energy technologies, including wind turbines, solar panels, and energy storage systems. These accomplishments highlight China’s critical role in driving the global energy transformation,”said Xiaojun Wang, PACS Executive Director. “However, there has been a big information gap. Global audiences want to see timely factual news and accurate interpretations directly from China's energy sector,”Wang added, explaining the reason behind the initiative.
The topics on the website range from renewable energies such as wind and solar, but also storage and grid, as well as heavy energy consumer sectors such as steel. The daily bite-size news updates and regular in-depth interviews with energy industry insiders will provide important insights into China's role in the global energy transition.
As of late 2024, China's installed wind and solar capacity has surpassed 1.35 billion kilowatts (1,350 gigawatts), including 510 gigawatts of wind power and 840 gigawatts of solar power, making it the largest globally. China's wind and solar capacity under construction stands at 339 gigawatts, more than double the combined total of all other countries. With more than 50% of the world's new renewable energy capacity, China is driving technological innovation, reducing costs, and fostering international collaborations to accelerate the adoption of clean energy worldwide. Over the past decade, China's innovation and manufacturing scale have driven a 60% reduction in global wind energy costs and an 80% drop in solar energy costs.
Through this newswire service website, PACS aims to provide an essential resource for non-Chinese readers to understand China's energy trends with accessible, authoritative information for those interested in collaborating with China's renewable energy industry and climate financing efforts, and contributions to global sustainability.
