True but misleading, the capacity factor keeps falling across their entire fleet of coal power plants. They aren’t installing grid sufficient storage to load follow and don’t have huge natural gas supplies thus load following coal power plants.
Total coal use was 82.4 exajules in 2013 and 82.5 exajules in 2019. It’s increased since then, but nothing like the number of power plants they have added. https://www.statista.com/statistics/265491/chinese-coal-consumption-in-oil-equivalent/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/265491/chinese-coal-cons...
