China wasting large amounts of power as captured clean energy hits bottlenecks, report says
China is wasting a significant amount of clean energy generated from wind and solar power, with enough excess electricity produced in the first half of the year to meet all new electricity demand. This is happening because the country's power grid is struggling to absorb the surge in clean energy production, leading to bottlenecks that are causing a rebound in coal-fired generation. The wasted clean energy is a concern for the environment and the economy, as it highlights the need for improved infrastructure and grid management to support the transition to renewable energy sources.
