上半年中国煤电发电量占比首次低于50%

中国今年上半年能源结构发生重要转变。1煤电发电量为2.5万亿千瓦时，占全社会总发电量的49.7%，首次低于50%。1与此同时，可再生能源发电量近2万亿千瓦时，占比首次超过40%，达到41.2%。1其中，风力和光伏发电量合计1.25万亿千瓦时，同比增长9.3%，占全社会用电量的24.6%。1

可再生能源对电力增长的支撑作用显著。1上半年可再生能源新增发电量1598亿千瓦时，覆盖了全社会用电量增量的61.9%。1这一成果标志着中国长期推进非化石能源发电替代工作取得了阶段性进展。1

China's energy structure reached a historic milestone in the first half of 2026, as coal-fired power generation dropped below the 50% threshold for the first time. 1 Coal power produced 2.5 trillion kilowatt-hours, accounting for 49.7% of total electricity generation, marking a significant shift in the country's power mix. 1 Meanwhile, renewable energy surged to capture 41.2% of all electricity generation, with output reaching nearly 2 trillion kilowatt-hours and growing approximately 9% year-over-year. 1

Wind and solar energy continued their robust expansion, generating a combined 1.25 trillion kilowatt-hours in the first half of the year, up 9.3% compared to the same period last year, and representing 24.6% of society-wide electricity consumption. 1 Renewable energy sources covered 61.9% of the growth in total electricity demand, contributing 159.8 billion kilowatt-hours of the increment. 1 These developments represent a major phase in China's long-term transition toward non-fossil fuel energy sources as the primary driver of electricity generation. 1
