Tracking China’s Overseas Renewable Energy Investment in Q1 2026

The report represents the first quarterly tracking study based on the Database of Chinese Overseas Renewable Energy Investment (D-CORE) and covers 129 Chinese overseas renewable energy project activities recorded during the first quarter of 2026, with a combined installed capacity of 36.3 GW.

Compared with the same period in 2025, when 93 projects totaling 27.5 GW were recorded, project numbers increased by 39% while total capacity rose by 32%. This growth not only reflects the strong momentum of China’s overseas renewable energy investment, but also aligns closely with the policy orientation of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan, which identifies international clean energy cooperation as a strategic priority.

Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, Power Sector Debt, and Gradual Coal Phase-Out—Designing an Innovative Bilateral Financing Mechanism

Pakistan’s power sector is currently under substantial financial stress. Structural mismatches among capacity payments, long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), underutilized generation assets, and the expansion of renewable energy mean that coal phase-out is no longer solely a climate issue—it is also closely tied to power system costs and legacy asset restructuring. Against this backdrop, this article examines how coal phase-out could serve as an entry point for both debt relief and energy transition. It further explores whether Article 6.2 can convert emissions reductions from coal retirement into results-based international finance, thereby creating a new financing channel for coal phase-out compensation, clean energy substitution, and asset transition.
