China's power production growth slowed in June 2021, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). In June 2021, China's absolute power generation capacity reached 686 billion kilowatt-hours, up 7.4 percent year on year and 14.5 percent over the same period in 2019, with a two-year average increase of 7.0 percent, with a daily average of 22.87 billion kilowatt-hours.
In June, thermal power, nuclear power and solar power all grew rapidly, while the growth rate of hydropower turned from positive to negative, while wind power fell. Thermal power grew by 10.1% year on year, with a two-year average growth of 7.7% based on June 2019. Hydropower decreased by 5.6 percent, with a two-year average increase of 0.5 percent; Nuclear power grew by 12.9%, with a two-year average growth of 13.3%; Wind power grew by 12.4%, with a two-year average growth of 14.1%; Solar power grew 12.5 percent, a two-year average of 9.1 percent.
Specifically, in June, the country's absolute thermal power generation capacity was 481.3 billion kilowatt-hours, up 10.1% year on year, 4.5 percentage points higher than that in May. Absolute hydropower generation capacity was 114.2 billion kilowatt-hours, down 5.6% year on year. Nuclear power generation was 35.9 billion kilowatt-hours, up 12.9% year on year, or 2.7 percentage points higher than that in May. The absolute wind power generation capacity was 38.6 billion kilowatt-hours, up 12.4% year on year, or 8.3 percentage points lower than that in May. The absolute solar power generation capacity was 16.1 billion kilowatt-hours, up 12.5 percent year on year, 3.8 percentage points higher than that in May.
In month-on-month terms, power generation in June increased by 38.2 billion kilowatt-hours, up by 5.9%. Thermal power generation increased by 30.6 billion kilowatt-hours from the previous month, up 6.79%; Hydroelectric power generation increased by 18.6 billion kilowatt-hours from the previous month, up 19.46%; Nuclear power generation increased by 1.6 billion kWh from the previous month, with an increase of 4.66%; Wind power generation decreased by 12.1 billion kilowatt-hours, down 23.87%; Solar power generation fell by 500 million kilowatt-hours, down 3.01 percent.
From January to June 2021, China's absolute power generation capacity reached 3,871.7 billion kilowatt-hours, up 13.7% year on year, and 11.2 percentage points lower than that in the previous 5 months.
Of this, the country's absolute thermal power generation capacity was 2,826.2 billion kilowatt-hours, up 15% year on year and 1 percentage point lower than that in the previous 5 months. Absolute hydropower power generation capacity was 482.7 billion kilowatt-hours, up 1.4% year on year, 2.4 percentage points lower than that in the previous 5 months. Nuclear power generation was 195.1 billion kilowatt-hours, up 13.7% year on year, or 0.2 percentage points lower than in the previous 5 months. The absolute wind power generation capacity was 281.9 billion kilowatt-hours, up 26.6 percent year on year, 0.1 percentage point lower than the previous 5 months. The absolute solar power generation capacity was 85.8 billion kilowatt-hours, up 9% year on year and 1.1 percentage points higher than that in the first 5 months.
