China's coal-fired power generation accounted for less than 50% of total electricity generation in the first half of 2026 for the first time, according to the National Energy Administration. This marks a significant milestone in China's shift towards cleaner energy. Renewable energy sources, including wind and solar, generated about 24.6% of total electricity, with natural gas and nuclear making up the rest. However, despite the decreasing share, analysts predict that China's coal consumption may increase due to growing energy demand.
