China's total electricity output in April 2021 was about 623 terawatt-hours. Since 1998, the volume of monthly power generation had increased six-fold. This increase was necessary to fuel China's economic rise and satisfy the demands of the higher standard of living. From the graph, it became also apparent that not only the monthly output increased but also the extent of seasonal fluctuations grew. Around the year 2008 and 2009, there was a small dip in power generation. This was the result of the world financial crises when global demand decreased and impacted the Chinese manufacturing sector.
