Latest data shows that the YoY growth rate of China's total electricity consumption shortage in July 2026 reached 13.04%, a significant jump from 0.26% in June. This highlights that electricity supply and demand are facing immense pressure amid the expansion of AI data centers and surging electricity consumption in high-tech manufacturing. Although photovoltaic installed capacity hit a new record, the intermittent nature of power generation keeps the short-term risk of power shortages high.
