Difference between producers and exporters

Interestingly, none of the top producers of electricity at a global level appears as one of the exporters. In fact, the top producers are:

1. China – 7,503 TWh
2. US – 4,401 TWh
3. India – 1,559 TWh
4. Russia – 1,118 TWh
5. Japan – 1,036 TWh

China is by far the world’s largest producer of electricity. Not casually, China has ramped up its share in renewable energy sources over the past few years and currently holds the largest share of wind and solar power technologies.
