BEIJING, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- China's power generation surged at a rapid pace in July, the National Bureau of Statistics said Thursday.
Power generation by the country's major electricity production enterprises rose 2.5 percent year on year to 883.1 billion kilowatt-hours last month, with the growth rate 0.2 percentage points higher than in June.
In the first seven months combined, the power generation went up 4.8 percent compared to a year earlier.
