Description

China Total Social Electricity Consumption is compiled and published by the National Energy Administration (NEA). This indicator measures the short-term changes in total electricity consumption across the country and serves as an important benchmark for observing economic activity and industrial demand. A higher monthly growth rate is generally seen as a positive signal of increased economic activity, whereas a lower or negative growth rate may indicate economic slowdown or reduced industrial activity.

According to the latest data, the month-over-month (MoM) growth rate of China's total electricity consumption in August 2026 fell to -0.65% from 15.8% in the previous month, mainly dragged down by weather factors. However, driven by the strong growth of EV charging/battery swapping and internet data services, the year-over-year (YoY) growth rate maintained positive, indicating that the economic electricity consumption structure is ushering in a high-tech transformation.
