China's installed power generation capacity exceeds 4 billion kilowatts

China's total installed power generation capacity reached 4.01 billion kilowatts by the end of May 2026, the National Energy Administration (NEA) said Thursday, noting that the figure put China at the top of the world by this measure.

Non-fossil energy has emerged as a major driver of the growth, accounting for 62 percent of total installed capacity by the end of May, up from 25 percent in 2010, the NEA said.
