Clean power surges recast energy mix

Electricity generated from new energy sources by China's two major utilities, State Grid Corporation of China and China Southern Power Grid Company Ltd, surged during the January-May period.

The surge is in line with China's efforts to reconstitute its overall energy mix.

State Grid, China's main power supplier that runs the majority of the nation's electricity distribution networks, saw its new-energy power generation reach 187.1 billion kilowatt-hour during the first five months of this year, a year-on-year increase of 41 percent.
