China has reportedly stopped publishing data that expose the challenges faced by the country as it expands renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, only sharing average utilization for all sources in the most recent report. The previously published figures showed reduced solar panel usage due to overloaded networks causing shutdowns during peak generating hours, indicating struggles to manage excessive generation during peak hours. Despite being a global leader in renewable energy deployment, China is facing hurdles in balancing supply and demand, particularly in ensuring proper utilization of solar panels amid rapid expansion.
