2025 electricity generation in terawatt-hours; United States plus EU is combined.
Electricity generation compares China with the combined United States and European Union benchmark in 2025, measured in terawatt-hours. The graphic uses Ember rows for China, the United States and the EU, then combines the two benchmark rows. China generated 10,579.7 TWh, about 1.45 times the combined United States and EU value of 7,317.1 TWh. The gap between China and the combined benchmark was 3,262.6 TWh.
| Rank | Entry | Value | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | China | 10,579.7 | 2025 |
| 2 | United States + European Union | 7,317.1 | 2025 |

Evidence: Supports same-source annual electricity generation rows by geography, fuel, unit and year.
The EU label is Ember's aggregate EU geography. The result is a benchmark comparison, not a world ranking.
China, United States and EU 2025 total generation rows were selected from Ember and the U.S.-plus-EU benchmark was formed by adding the two benchmark rows.
China, the United States and EU rows all use Ember 2025 TWh total-generation values. The combined benchmark is same-year and same-unit.
