2020 ultra low carbon sources GWh: Hydro: 1,355,200, Wind: 466,500, Nuclear: 366,200, Solar: 261,100
That’s an increase from 2019 of Wind: 15.1%, Solar: 16.6%, Hydro: 4.1%, Nuclear: 5% https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_China
Coal is still king, but it fell from 81% of total electricity in 2007 down to 62% in 2020 mostly due to renewables not nuclear.
They haven't started their transition yet.
