China's installed power generation capacity to exceed 3.6 billion kilowatts in 2025
China aims to increase its total installed power generation capacity to over 3.6 billion kilowatts by 2025, as announced by the National Energy Administration. The country plans to maintain crude oil output at over 200 million tonnes and add over 200 million kilowatts of new energy power generation capacity. By 2025, China’s total electricity generation is expected to reach 10.6 trillion kilowatt-hours. The proportion of non-fossil energy power generation capacity is expected to increase to around 60 percent, with non-fossil energy making up around 20 percent of total energy consumption. Zhang Xing, the administration’s spokesperson, emphasized the need for strengthening research and development in key energy technology equipment and advancing energy system reforms.
