China will produce 6.7 percent more electricity this year to meet an expected increase in demand from factories and households, the government said.
China, the world's second-largest energy user, will generate 1,750 billion kilowatt-hours of power in 2003 as the country's economy is expected to grow 7 percent, the State Economic & Trade Commission said in a report. China's hydropower plants may generate less electricity this year as drought cuts water flow during the dry season, it said.
