From January to October, power generation was 7,333 billion kwh, up 4.4% year on year.

In terms of varieties, in October, the growth rate of thermal power and solar power accelerated, the growth rate of hydropower fell, the growth rate of nuclear power changed from increase to decrease, and the decline rate of wind power expanded. Among them, thermal power increased by 4.0%, 1.7 percentage points faster than September; hydropower increased by 21.8%, 17.4 percentage points lower than September; nuclear power decreased by 0.2%, 6.7 percentage points lower than September; wind power decreased by 13.1%, 11.5 percentage points higher than September; Solar power increased by 15.3%, 8.5 percentage points faster than in September.

 

Note

1. Explanation

of indicators Average daily output of products: It is calculated by dividing the total output of industrial enterprises above designated size published in the current month by the calendar days of the month.

2. The statistical caliber of the output data in the statistical scope

report is all industries above the scale, and its statistical scope is industrial enterprises with annual main business income of 20 million yuan or more.

As the scope of industrial enterprises above designated size changes every year, in order to ensure that the data of this year is comparable to that of the previous year, the figures of the same period used to calculate the year-on-year growth rate of various indicators such as product output are consistent with the statistical scope of enterprises in this period, and there are differences in caliber with the data published in the previous year.

3. Data source

The import data comes from the General Administration of Customs, of which the October 2023 data is the express data.

4. Natural gas unit conversion relationship: 1 ton equals about 1,380 cubic meters.
