In a testament to its green revolution, China released over 2.9 billion green energy certificates in 2025, fresh figures from the National Energy Administration reveal. This impressive tally—precisely 2.0947 billion—highlights the explosive growth in renewable energy adoption across the world’s most populous nation.
Breaking it down, 1.893 billion were tradable certificates, enabling robust market dynamics. December saw a whopping 211 million issued, with tradable shares hitting 71.32%. Nationwide trading volume soared to 930 million, incorporating 250 million from green power operations.
What exactly are these certificates? They’re electronic trackers for renewable electricity, equating one certificate to 1,000 kWh of clean power. This system not only certifies green production but also fuels a thriving marketplace that drives efficiency and innovation.
The numbers paint a clear picture: China’s energy landscape is shifting decisively toward sustainability. With renewables now powering more homes and industries, these certificates are key to transparent tracking and corporate green claims. As 2025 closes, this progress sets the stage for amplified renewable capacity, aligning with ambitious national goals for a cleaner future.
