In 2012, for the first time, China increased its wind power production more than its coal power production!

  • Coal power production rose by 0.3%, an addition of roughly 12 terawatt hours (TWh) more electricity.
  • Wind power rose by about 26 TWh. This increases China's wind energy to 100TWh, putting it in third place after coal and hydro, and larger than nuclear in fourth place.
