I think these numbers are approximately correct for China 2025:
Generation additions
Source TWh
Solar 436
Wind 254
Nuclear 21
Total 711
Demand growth
Growth 684
FF saving 27
So that's about 3-6 coal plants that can be closed (they average 50% capacity)
Clean power deployment is growing faster than electricity demand (even as China electrifies more things) so this should be the start of the FF replacement.
@Tallish_Tom For what area are we talking about?
China (actually, I am not sure on the nuclear number, found it hard to find progress figures).
@Tallish_Tom Surprising numbers, in how low they actually are I mean. China is currently on 10,000 TWh electricity in total and growing hard. I think it could easily double before 2050. And they *are* putting in all effort that should make the West jealous. It puts in perspective how long the road before us still is.
True, but the curves are diverging now, so it will accelerate.

Not as fast as we want now but faster in the end. No complacency but more hope
