2. Transformer capacity includes converter capacity; in 2014 the State Grid company recalculated DC converter capacity statistics for corresponding voltage levels of ± 800 kV and ± 660 kV。
3. Starting 2014, the State Grid Corporation statistics exclude production and consumption of power from captive power plants; 2013 values for power supply and demand, as well as line losses have been recalculated according to this new metric。
4. The installed capacity of biomass power was 10.3 GW by the end of 2014, producing 4,740 GWh over 2014。
