Thermal, hydro, nuclear, wind and solar output; TWh, 2023–2025, preliminary.
China’s electricity generation is compared across five sources from 2023 through 2025. The comparison contains thermal, hydro, nuclear, wind and solar output in TWh. Thermal generation remained the largest source at about 6,327.2 TWh in 2025. Solar generation roughly doubled from 584.2 TWh in 2023 to 1,173.2 TWh in 2025.

The figures are preliminary. Thermal power follows the source definition, which includes electricity generated from coal, oil, gas, residual heat and pressure, waste incineration and biomass.
Each official source figure is converted from 100 million kilowatt-hours to terawatt-hours using the exact factor 0.1. The five source categories and their annual order are retained.
Every row uses the same official source family, annual periods, original unit and generation-source definitions; the TWh conversion is uniform.
