THAT WAS EASY:
China on track to triple its terawatt-scale wind and solar target (Joshua S Hill, 5 April 2023, Renew Economy)
The research arm of American banking giant Goldman Sachs has concluded that China is currently on track to generate almost three times more power from wind turbines and solar panels than the government has targeted.According to a report published by Goldman Sachs in late March, combined capacity from China's solar and wind energy sector will reach 3.3 terawatts (TW) by 2030.This far outstrips the Chinese government's current target of 1.2TWh.The conclusion from the report is that, with such an accelerated pace for wind and solar deployment, China could become energy self-sufficient by 2060.
So by 2035.
