The latest data shows that the month-on-month (MoM) growth rate of China's primary industry electricity consumption in August 2026 plummeted to -20.12%, cooling significantly from 1.20% in July. This decline is mainly attributed to frequent typhoons and heavy rainfall in August, which substantially reduced agricultural irrigation demand. However, overall societal electricity consumption is being strongly supported by tertiary industries such as new energy and computing power.
