China will add another 11 nuclear reactors that would add 11 GWe of electricity over the next two years.

Afterwards, there is a gap in China's development of nuclear power. Only two nuclear reactors are scheduled to come online from 2021 to 2024.

China currently has the third most nuclear power of any country. They are behind the USA which has about 100 GWe and 800 TWh of nuclear power and France which has about 62 GWe and 382 TWh of nuclear power.

Based upon China's operation of nuclear reactors they will generate about 6.75 TWh per GWe of nuclear plant. This means about 303 TWh from 45 GWe. This same amount of per GWe of nuclear plant would mean 378 TWh from 56 GWe of nuclear power.
