Notes: 1. The source of the above statistics is the National Energy Administration and the National Bureau of Statistics。
2. From May 2018 onwards, industries are classified in accordance with the "Notice on the revision of the regulations for classifications of the three industries (2012) (NBS [2018] No. 74)" and data has been adjusted accordingly. In order to ensure data comparability, the data for the previous period has been reclassified according to the same standard。
3. Data for "Completed investment in power grid construction projects" is major power generation companies investment data。
4. Data for newly installed capacity of thermal power includes emergency reserves for peak regulation capacity。
