On June 16th, the National Bureau of Statistics released the energy production situation for May 2026. In May, the production of raw coal in large-scale industries (hereinafter referred to as large-scale industries) remained at a high level, while crude oil production showed stable growth, natural gas production slightly decreased, and electricity production increased. Specifically, the production of raw coal remained at a high level. In May, the production of raw coal in large-scale industries was 4.0 billion tons, a decrease of 1.7% year-on-year; with a daily average production of 12.81 million tons. From January to May, the production of raw coal in large-scale industries was 19.8 billion tons, a decrease of 0.3% year-on-year. The original text for May 2026 energy production situation is as follows: In May, the production of raw coal in large-scale industries remained at a high level, crude oil production showed stable growth, natural gas production slightly decreased, and electricity production increased. I. Production and related information of raw coal, crude oil, and natural gas: - Raw coal production remained at a high level. In May, the production of raw coal in large-scale industries was 4.0 billion tons, a decrease of 1.7% year-on-year; with a daily average production of 12.81 million tons. From January to May, the production of raw coal in large-scale industries was 19.8 billion tons, a decrease of 0.3% year-on-year. - Crude oil production showed stable growth. In May, the production of crude oil in large-scale industries was 18.57 million tons, an increase of 0.5% year-on-year; with a daily average production of 0.99 million tons. From January to May, the production of crude oil in large-scale industries was 91.31 million tons, an increase of 1.1% year-on-year. - Crude oil processing showed a larger decrease. In May, the processing of crude oil in large-scale industries was 53.72 million tons, a decrease of 9.1% year-on-year; with a daily average processing of 17.33 million tons. From January to May, the processing of crude oil in large-scale industries was 29.28 million tons, a decrease of 2.2% year-on-year. - Natural gas production slightly decreased. In May, the production of natural gas in large-scale industries was 21.7 billion cubic meters, a decrease of 2.2% year-on-year; compared to an increase of 1.9% in April. With a daily average production of 7.0 billion cubic meters. From January to May, the production of natural gas in large-scale industries was 111.7 billion cubic meters, an increase of 1.7% year-on-year. II. Electricity production situation - The growth rate of electricity production in large-scale industries accelerated. In May, the electricity generation in large-scale industries was 7.843 trillion kilowatt-hours, an increase of 4.2% year-on-year; with a daily average generation of 2.53 trillion kilowatt-hours. From January to May, the electricity generation in large-scale industries was 39.129 trillion kilowatt-hours, an increase of 3.6% year-on-year. - In terms of different types of electricity generation, in May, the growth rate of thermal power in large-scale industries slowed down, while hydropower, CECEP Solar Energy generation accelerated, nuclear power, and wind power transformed from decline to growth. Specifically, thermal power in large-scale industries increased by 2.1% year-on-year in May, a decrease of 1.0 percentage points compared to April; hydropower in large-scale industries increased by 13.0%, an increase of 0.8 percentage points compared to April; nuclear power in large-scale industries increased by 5.0%, compared to a decrease of 8.7% in April; wind power in large-scale industries increased by 0.5%, compared to a decrease of 5.0% in April; CECEP Solar Energy generation in large-scale industries increased by 12.1%, an increase of 5.0 percentage points.
