China more than doubled the amount of solar capacity it installed in the first nine months of the year even though sales of electricity from some projects was halted because of congestion on the distribution grid.
The nation added 9.9 gigawatts of solar power in the period through Sept. 30 compared with 3.79 gigawatts a year earlier, according to data from the National Energy Administration released Tuesday. A 10th of the nation’s solar capacity sat idle during the period.
