The growth rate of China's power production slowed down in May 2021, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said.
In May 2021, China's absolute power generation capacity was 647.8 billion kWh, up 7.9 percent year on year and 12.6 percent over the same period in 2019, with a two-year average growth of 6.1 percent. The average daily power generation capacity was 20.9 billion kWh.
In May, the growth rate of thermal power fell, the growth rate of hydropower and nuclear power accelerated, the growth rate of solar power increased from the decline to the increase, and wind power maintained rapid growth. Thermal power grew by 5.6% year on year, with a two-year average growth of 7.3% based on May 2019. Hydropower increased by 12.1%, with a two-year average decrease of 3.3%; Nuclear power grew by 10.2%, with a two-year average growth of 12.2%; Wind power grew by 20.7%, with a two-year average growth of 12.7%; Solar power grew 8.7 percent, a two-year average of 7.9 percent.
To be specific, in May, China's absolute thermal power generation capacity was 450.7 billion kilowatt-hours, up 5.6% year on year, 6.9 percentage points lower than that in April. Absolute hydropower generation capacity was 95.6 billion kilowatt-hours, up 12.1% year on year, or 8.8 percentage points higher than that in April. Nuclear power generation was 34.3 billion kilowatt-hours, up 10.2% year on year, or 5 percentage points higher than that in April. The absolute wind power generation capacity was 50.7 billion kilowatt-hours, up 20.7% year on year, or 0.4 percentage points lower than that in April. Absolute solar power generation was 16.6 billion kilowatt-hours, up 8.7 percent year on year, compared with a 6.4 percent decline last month.
In month-on-month terms, power generation in May increased by 24.8 billion kilowatt-hours, up 3.98%. Thermal power generation decreased by 1 billion kilowatt-hours, down 0.22%; Hydroelectric power generation increased by 18 billion kilowatt-hours, up 23.2 percent from the previous month. Nuclear power generation increased by 1.9 billion kilowatt-hours from the previous month, up 5.86%; Wind power generation increased by 3.7 billion kWh from the previous month, up 7.87%; Solar power generation increased 2.2 billion kilowatt-hours from the previous month, up 15.28%.
From January to May 2021, China's absolute power generation capacity reached 3,177.2 billion kilowatt-hours, up 14.9% year on year and 1.9 percentage points lower than that of the previous 4 months.
Among them, the country's absolute thermal power generation capacity was 2,341.7 billion kilowatt-hours, up 16% year on year and 2.9 percentage points lower than the previous 4 months. Absolute hydropower power generation capacity was 368.5 billion kilowatt-hours, up 3.8% year on year, or 2.7 percentage points higher than the previous 4 months. Nuclear power generation was 159.2 billion kilowatt-hours, up 13.9 percent year on year, or 1 percentage point lower than the previous 4 months. The absolute wind power generation capacity was 238.2 billion kilowatt-hours, up 26.7% year on year, or 1.5 percentage points lower than the previous 4 months. The absolute solar power generation capacity was 69.5 billion kilowatt-hours, up 7.9 percent year on year and 0.3 percentage points higher than the previous 4 months.
