Reas that again. I did!
From Australia’s ABC News: China will “meet its end-of-2030 target by the end of this month — or 6.5 years early.” Their storage: pumped hydro and battery.

At what cost to the natural environment?
Thanks, still an interesting development
Also reduced greenhouse emissions.
I was thinking more in terms of where wind / solar arrays will go. Here in the Uk you would need planning permission and permissionj from the land owner, I get the impression in china if the goverment decide to do X it just does it, so in this case find land put solar panels on.
This in some cases can have an impact, I think there is evidence that livestock (e.g sheep) can live / graze side by side with solar farms, and in fact they keep the grass trimmed while doing so.
It is however really encouraging they are makingj prpgress here with moving to renewables.
