BloombergNEF: clean energy investment in developing nations slumps as financing in China slows; coal burn surges to record high

Green Car Congress

NOVEMBER 26, 2019

New investment in wind, solar, and other clean energy projects in developing nations dropped sharply in 2018, largely due to a slowdown in China. This is due to wind and solar projects generating only when natural resources are available while oil, coal, and gas plants can potentially produce around the clock. thousand in 2017.
