China’s solar generating capacity is expected to surpass coal for the first time this year, according to the country’s top electricity industry group, marking a milestone in the country’s long-standing effort to build a cleaner power system. The nation, which has been massively building out clean electricity, is on track to get about half of its installed generating capacity from solar and wind by the end of the year, the China Electricity Council said in a report on Monday. Coal’s share is expected to slide to about one third of the total even amid a building boom. MAGA
