China’s renewable-power grid challenge in the AI race
Bloomberg says official figures suggest roughly 9% of potential wind and solar output went unused in 2026’s first half.
TLDR
Bloomberg reports that China’s wind and solar buildout is outpacing its ability to get power where it’s needed, even as regions with surplus electricity become AI data-center hubs. The report points to transmission lines, storage and changes to electricity trading as ways to use more of that power. BloombergNEF estimates China will need $3.9 trillion in grid investment through 2049.
