Note: 1. Source of data is the NEA, and publicly available statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics。
2. From May 2018 onwards, the division into three industries was adjusted in accordance with the “Notice of the National Bureau of Statistics on amending the regulations for the determination of the three industries (2012) (NBS (2018) No. 74). To ensure comparability of data, statistics for the same period last year was recalculated in accordance with this new 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。
