Wind is China’s largest source of electricity after coal and hydropower, delivering 9.4% of the total electricity supply in 2023. However, oil and gas usage will continue to rely on imports. Natural gas consumption will remain high with 2050 consumption marginally below 2023 levels and 58% being imported.
