China Focus: China ramps up power trading to deliver greener, safer energy supply
Xinhua | English | News | Dec. 10, 2025 | Climate Change
China is rapidly expanding its power trading market to enhance energy affordability and sustainability. In 2025, approximately 23,900 industrial and commercial enterprises in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, participated in market-based electricity purchases, enabling cost reductions and a shift toward cleaner energy sources. Local businesses, such as the Xuzhou Shanshan Outlet Plaza, have seen monthly electricity bill savings exceeding 70,000 yuan and improved their sustainability profile by sourcing renewable power from wind and hydropower plants located thousands of kilometers away.
The establishment of a unified national power market in 2025 facilitates the transmission of renewable energy from resource-rich western regions—like wind and solar from the northwest and hydropower from Yunnan and Sichuan—to energy-intensive eastern and central industrial zones. With a trans-provincial transmission capacity of 370 million kilowatts as of November 2025, China is balancing regional disparities in energy supply and demand effectively. Jiangsu Province, for example, has seen green power trading increase sharply from 1.37 billion kilowatt-hours in 2021 to 20.34 billion kilowatt-hours in 2024, significantly reducing coal consumption and carbon emissions.
China’s green power trading growth aligns with its carbon peak goal by 2030 and carbon neutrality target by 2060. Wind and solar capacity expanded at an average annual rate of 28 percent to 1.68 billion kilowatts by mid-2025. Green certificates, digital identifiers of renewable electricity generation, surged to nearly 5 billion issued by the end of 2024, marking a twentyfold annual increase. Key sectors such as energy, chemicals, electronics, and manufacturing are driving demand for renewable energy, supported by market mechanisms that improve the integration of intermittent renewables, reduce waste, and enhance energy security nationwide.
