Note：1. Power production, total electricity consumption and generation capacity data are industry statistics totals from the China Electricity Council。
2. Wind and solar power generation and generation capacity statistics are for grid-connected capacity。
3. Due to differences in statistical standards, confirmation of moment of grid connection, and other reasons, there are certain discrepancies in data on total and newly installed generation capacity。
4. Data for Xinjiang Autonomous Region based on statistical collection methods used by the Xinjiang Electric Power Company。
5. Completed investment data are projects included in the CEC power industry statistics for large power companies。
