Clean energy sources account for approximately one-third of China's power production. In 2022, approximately 14.88 percent of total electricity generated originated from hydropower plants. This was a decrease compared to the previous year as rainfall near major rivers had been lower than average. Nevertheless, the clean energy share has continuously increased over the period of consideration, with particular growth of solar and wind power.
