State-owned power company China Three Gorges Renewables Group will build an 8 GW solar farm as part of a nearly $11 billion integrated energy project.

great, but why are they still building 4GW of coal too?
Because they’re still a developing country with a relatively low baseline power supply per capita (half that of the US).
Isn’t most power consumed by industry rather than residential?
Yes. That means Chinese households actually consume less than this graph indicates. In other words, because China’s economy is more manufacturing heavy, this graph makes it look more “developed” than it actually is.
