China's energy transition is entering a deeper phase where clean electricity, led by wind, solar, and battery storage, is starting to displace coal power and fossil fuels across power generation and industrial sectors. In 2025, clean power met all demand growth for electricity, causing coal generation to decline for the first time in a decade, while electrification is advancing across manufacturing and transport.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

China's shift away from coal stabilises the market for clean energy suppliers and reveals new industrial opportunities for electrification technology makers. You need to align your business with Chinese clean tech demand or risk missing the largest energy transformation underway.
