APAC Energy Buzz: China’s blue skies need green clouds
Report summary
US Big Tech has been decarbonising for a decade, demanding that grids provide more clean power and accelerating investment in renewables. Could China’s Big Tech have the same impact in their home market? There is no doubt that the scale of these companies mirrors their US rivals, but unlike in the US, the transformation of China’s generation mix is being driven by top-down policy, not changing corporate and consumer demand. Chinese Big Tech is now working towards greener clouds, but it is China’s push for blue skies that is making this happen.
