2. Beginning in May 2018, the division of the three industries was adjusted in accordance with the "Notice of the National Bureau of Statistics on Amending the "Regulations on the Classification of the Three Industries (2012) "NBS [2018] No. 74). To ensure comparability, data for the same period last year have been similarly adjusted。
3. [Note from China Energy Portal]: The 105 MW installed capacity for biomass power in 2018 in an obvious error, present in the source data. Earlier bulletins reported 14,888 MW installed capacity by year end 2017 (link), and 3,050 new capacity over 2018 for a total of 17,810 MW by year end 2018 (link).
