We were struck that five of the six of the stories headlining\u00a0 this morning’s Clean Technology Bulletin, put out by Barclays Capital’s Vishal Shah, were about China. For us this is\u00a0 yet another, all-be-it informal, indication of the country’s emergence as a renewable energy leader.<\/span><\/p>\n Also, the bulletin’s five Chinese-focused stories are on solar generation.<\/p>\n The bulletin<\/a> leads with ReneSola pulling the plug on its Dynamic Green Energy acquisition; It follows with a story on Chinese solar panel maker Yingli Green Energy’s stated goal to cut solar photovoltaic power cost to less than 1 yuan\/kWh by 2010; Third on the list is a story on a Chinese-lead effort to produce cheaper silicon-based panels. There is then a story on China’s solar company CNPV Solar Power, entering into a long-term sales agreement with Galip Solar of Germany. The fifth story on the bulletin is on Chinese solar PV maker Solarfun Power plan to increase production from 550 megawatts to 700 megawatts by April 2010. The final story on the bulletin is not Chinese. It focuses on New Mexico utility PNM.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n How important of a player is China in the green energy sector?\u00a0 Well, for starters\u00a0the country plans to spend $220 billion in clean energy over the next two years and the country’s renewable energy market is estimated by some to be worth as much as $1 trillion a year<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/greenenergyreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Picture-31.png\" "\\"Picture")
