Is the main power generation mode in China still relying on thermal power?

At present, the main types of power generation in China are hydropower and thermal power. Geothermal energy, nuclear energy, solar energy and wind energy are new energy sources being studied and developed.

Mainly based on thermal power generation, its power generation accounts for more than 70% of the total power generation.

Although China is rich in hydropower resources, limited by economic and technical factors, hydropower only accounts for about 20% of the total power generation.

With the shortage of fossil fuels, more and more attention has been paid to nuclear power generation. However, due to the Fukushima incident, China did not continue to build nuclear power projects for technical and safety reasons.

By the end of 20 13, the installed capacity of power generation in China is about 65.438+0.23 billion kilowatts, which is expected to rank first in the world, including 280 million kilowatts of hydropower, 860 million kilowatts of thermal power, 65.438+0.478 million kilowatts of nuclear power, 75 million kilowatts of wind power and 6 million kilowatts of solar energy.
