China has taken solar power to the open sea by building the world's largest floating solar plant, and it's already changing how renewable energy can be deployed where land is scarce. The massive project, called HG14, is located about 8 km off the coast of Dongying in Shandong. . The panels are cooled by sea air and receive extra reflected sunlight from the water, they generate 5-15% more power than similar systems on land. HG14 exemplifies how offshore setups multiply efficiency via natural cooling. Covering an area of 1,223 hectares in the Shandong province, the project uses 2,934 photovoltaic panels on platforms that are each 60 meters (196 feet) in length and 35 meters (114. . On July 2, China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec) announced the commissioning of China's first industrial-scale offshore floating photovoltaic (PV) project.

China installed a record 315 GW (AC) of new solar capacity in 2025, lifting cumulative installed PV capacity to 1. 2 TW and pushing non-fossil power sources past thermal generation for the first time. China's National Energy Administration (NEA) released its 2025 power sector statistics on Jan. 28. . How China overcomes market, financing and systemic challenges holds lessons for other economies investing in renewables. China is the world's largest energy consumer and greenhouse gas emitter – it is also undergoing one of the most ambitious energy transitions in history. Guided by its goals of. . Note: NEA considers utility-scale solar to include projects of at least six megawatts of installed alternating current capacity.
