YTD (2025 Nov), China produced electricity generation equipments of 327 GW.
In 2024, that figure was 284 GW.
In 2023, that figure was 234 GW.
Much of this is exported.
But this shows the industrial power – the ability to add new power capacity.
This scale is similar to Japan’s installed base.
Total generating capacity in Japan came to 318.6 GW at the end of fiscal 2022. This consisted of 47.5% thermal power (15.9% coal, 24.8% LNG, and 6.8% oil), 10.4% nuclear power, 15.4% hydro, and 26.0% renewables (excluding hydro).
This is more than many countries installed electricity capacity.
