China lost a quarter of the wind and solar power it generated in the first half of this year because its grid had no room for it, wasting enough electricity to run the United Kingdom or Mexico for more than a year.
The country turned away 360 terawatt hours (TWh) between January and June, 49 per cent more than the same period last year, according to a report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air and Global Energy Monitor.
