Why wind and solar power is going to ‘waste’ in China in the global energy crisis
China is experiencing a significant waste of renewable energy from wind and solar power due to inflexible grid management that prioritizes coal power plants. This reliance on fossil fuels for baseload power hinders the expansion of clean energy, leading to a situation where renewable capacity is underutilized. The situation is exacerbated by rising energy demand, pushing China to revert to fossil fuels despite its growing renewable infrastructure, thereby increasing exposure to global energy supply disruptions.
