CHINA generated more electricity from clean energy resources in November amid efforts to boost the use of non-fossil fuel energy sources.
Electricity generated from clean energy soared 20.3 percent from a year earlier to 74.8 billion kilowatt-hours in November, the China State Electricity Regulatory Commission said.
Last month, hydropower grew 19.4 percent from a year earlier, while nuclear power rose 22.9 percent. Wind power jumped 54.2 percent annually, the commission said yesterday.
Meanwhile, China consumed 887 billion kwh of clean power in the first 11 months of the year, or 20.2 percent of the total on-grid power during the period, the commission said.
The share represents an increase of 3.3 percentage points from the amount recorded at the same time last year.
Hydropower generation capacity rose by 13.12 million kilowatts from January to November, while wind power generation capacity gained by 8.22 million kilowatts, the commission said.
Authorities plan to raise the share of non-fossil fuels used for primary energy use to 11.4 percent by the end of 2015 to cut emissions, a government white paper said.
