Summary/Abstract: The transformations in the Chinese energy sector since the start of the twenty-first century have generated considerable interest globally, not only at the scientific and expert level, but also from a practical perspective from a practical business and international cooperation perspective. In this regard, the paper traces the sector’s evolution and presents the specificities of the country’s energy profile through the prism of latest data. Beyond the look at the fossil fuel segment, the focus is on the renewable energy dimension. Special attention is paid to emblematic projects in this sphere, which also highlight PRC’s innovative potential in the energy field. Additionally, the far-reaching ambitions to further deploy renewable energy capacity are discussed in relation to the energy ventures launched for future implementation, which should contribute to generating green growth.
