How this measure is built
- Definition
- The share of the world's newly installed wind power and solar photovoltaic capacity installed in China.
- Measure
- One slice of Capacity additions ( form: share, segment: wind and solar pv ) . New electricity generation or storage capacity added to the grid. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- 1 figure is a projection, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
