The latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on June 16 showed that electricity production in China's industrial enterprises above designated size grew steadily. In May, the power generation of industrial enterprises above designated size was 737.8 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 0.5 percent, and the growth rate was 0.4 percentage points slower than that in April; the daily power generation was 23.80 billion kilowatt-hours. From January to May, the power generation of industrial enterprises above designated size was 3,726.6 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 0.3 percent. Excluding the number of days, the daily power generation increased by 1.0 percent year on year.
By type, in May, thermal power generation in industrial enterprises above designated size turned from decline to growth, the decline in hydropower expanded, and the growth rates of nuclear power, wind power, and solar power generation slowed down. Among them, thermal power generation in industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 1.2 percent year on year, down 2.3 percent in April; hydropower generation in industrial enterprises above designated size decreased by 14.3 percent, and the decline was 7.8 percentage points wider than that in April; nuclear power generation in industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 6.7 percent, and the growth rate was 5.7 percentage points slower than that in April; wind power generation in industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 11.0 percent, and the growth rate was 1.7 percentage points slower than that in April; solar power generation in industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 7.3 percent, and the growth rate was 9.4 percentage points slower than that in April.
Specifically, in May, the absolute thermal power generation in the country was 461.5 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 1.2 percent; hydropower generation was 99.1 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year decrease of 14.3 percent; nuclear power generation was 38.4 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 6.7 percent; wind power generation was 91.7 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 11.0 percent; solar power generation was 47.1 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 7.3 percent.
From January to May, the power generation of industrial enterprises above designated size was 3,726.6 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 0.3 percent.
By type, from January to May, the absolute thermal power generation was 2,444.8 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year decrease of 3.1 percent; hydropower generation was 400.1 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year decrease of 2.5 percent; nuclear power generation was 196.9 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 11.5 percent; wind power generation was 474.2 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 11.1 percent; solar power generation was 210.5 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 18.3 percent.
