China's on-grid solar power capacity will rise 200 percent year-on-year to 10 gW by the end of this year, the National Energy Administration said in an online statement on Wednesday.
The share of thermal power generation capacity is predicted to drop to 69.6 percent from the 71.5 percent at the end of 2012.
The share of hydropower will be 22.5 percent, on-grid wind power 6.1 percent and nuclear power will have a 1.2 percent share.
In a move to cut air pollution and boost the share of non-fossil fuels in its power structure, the world's second-largest economy has stepped up efforts to meet its goal of a 16 percent cut in energy consumption per unit of GDP by 2015.
For the first 10 months, the installed capacity of new energy and renewable energy in China hit 35.95 million kW, double the figure during the same period a year ago, according to the NEA.
