In June, 796.3 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity were generated by industrial enterprises above the designated size, up by 1.7 percent year on year, a growth rate of 1.2 percentage points higher than that in May, with an average daily electricity generation of 26.54 billion kilowatt-hours. From January to June, 4.5371 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity were generated by industrial enterprises above the designated size, up by 0.8 percent year on year, with a year-on-year increase of 1.3 percent in average daily electricity generationafter adjusting for calendar effects.

From the perspective of energy sources, in June, the growth rate of thermal power and wind power generated by industrial enterprises above the designated size moderated; the decline in hydropower generation narrowed; the growth rate of nuclear-power and solar power generation accelerated. Among them, the thermal power generated by industrial enterprises above the designated size increased by 1.1 percent year on year, with a growth rate of 0.1 percentage points lower than that in May; the hydropower generated by industrial enterprises above the designated size decreased by 4.0 percent, with a decline narrowing by 10.3 percentage points compared to May; the nuclear-power generated by industrial enterprises above the designated size increased by 10.3 percent, with a growth rate of 3.6 percentage points higher than that in May; the wind power generated by industrial enterprises above the designated size increased by 3.2 percent, with a growth rate of 7.8 percentage points lower than that in May; the solar power generated by industrial enterprises above the designated size increased by 18.3 percent, a growth rate of 11.0 percentage points higher than that in May.

Annotations:

1. Explanatory Notes

Average daily product output: It is calculated by dividing the total output of industrial enterprises above the designated size announced in that month by the calendar days in that month.

2. Statistical Coverage

The statistical caliber of the output data in the report is the industrial enterprises above the designated size, and the statistical scope involves industrial enterprises with an annual main business revenue of 20 million yuan and above.

Because the scope of industrial enterprises above the designated size changes every year, to ensure that this year's data is comparable with the previous year's, the cumulative figures for the same period last year used to calculate year-on-year growth rates for product output and other indicators are consistent with the statistical scope of enterprises in the current period. There may also be a discrepancy in statistical coverage between the data released this year and last year.
