Published by

China's total electricity output in March 2025 was about 778 terawatt-hours. Since 1998, the volume of monthly power generation has increased significantly. This increase was necessary to fuel China's economic rise and satisfy the demands of the higher standard of living. From the graph, it also became apparent that not only the monthly output increased, but also the extent of seasonal fluctuations grew. Around the year 2008 and 2009, there was a small dip in power generation. This was the result of the world financial crises, when global demand decreased and impacted the Chinese manufacturing sector.
