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 "Completed investment in electric power projects" is from completed investment by large power companies as included in the CEC Power Industry Statistics；
5. Where there are whitespaces in the above table, it indicates that the statistical data was either below the minimum unit of reporting used in this table, or unknown, or not available。
