China’s installed power generation capacity has exceeded 900 million kilowatts after a reactor under the second phase of Ling’ao Nuclear Power Plant began operations in Guangdong Province recently:

According to the Chinese National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), it took China 38 years to raise its power generating capacity to 100 million KW in 1987 from 1.85 million KW when the new China was founded in 1949.

Before topping the key mark of 900 million KW, China lifted its electricity generating capacity to 500 million KW in 2005.
