Wind turbines use blades to collect the wind's kinetic energy. Wind flows over the blades creating lift (similar to the effect on airplane wings), which causes the blades to turn.
Hydropower remains China's largest source of clean electricity, contributing 13% in 2024. The share of wind and solar combined reached 18%, just ahead of the global average of 15% and above its neighbours Japan (11%) and South Korea (6%).
