China Solar Lobby Says Slower Growth Marks Sustainable Shift
China's solar lobby said the sector is on a more sustainable track after solar installations fell 66% in the first half of 2026.
2026年上半年光伏新增装机量下降66%后，中国光伏行业协会表示，行业走向更加可持续的发展轨道。
The China Photovoltaic Industry Association (CPIA) declined to update its 2026 installation forecast at its annual conference in Ningbo on Thursday, breaking from its usual practice. The association previously forecast 180 gigawatts to 240 gigawatts of new solar additions this year, far below last year's record 315 gigawatts.
7月23日，中国光伏行业协会在宁波举行的会议上打破惯例，没有更新国内2026年新增装机预测。该协会此前预测今年新增太阳能装机为180吉瓦至240吉瓦，远低于去年创纪录的315吉瓦。
The slowdown came after China introduced new rules requiring wind and solar projects to sell electricity at market-based prices instead of fixed government tariffs. China added 72 gigawatts of solar capacity in the first six months of 2026, down from 212 gigawatts a year earlier.
此前中国出台新规，要求风能和太阳能项目以市场价格而非政府固定电价出售电力，这导致装机放缓。2026年前六个月，中国新增太阳能装机72吉瓦，低于去年同期的212吉瓦。
"Installations so far this year are a return to rationalization and normalization after last year's rush," Wang Bohua, former secretary-general of the CPIA, said in a keynote speech at the conference.
中国光伏行业协会原秘书长王勃华在会议上发表主旨演讲时表示：“今年以来的装机量是去年抢装潮后的理性回归和正常化。”
Despite the near-term slowdown, China's renewable energy ambitions remain unchanged. The country on Thursday released its renewable energy plan for the 15th Five-Year Plan period, targeting a 53% increase in renewable energy consumption over the next five years and aiming to make intermittent wind and solar power more reliable sources of electricity.
尽管近期增速放缓，但中国可再生能源的雄心没有改变。中国周四发布《可再生能源发展“十五五”规划》，目标在未来五年内将可再生能源消费量提高53%，并力求使间歇性的风能和太阳能成为更可靠的电力来源。
