AI Data Insight

China's total society power deficit YoY growth rate dropped to -0.297% in June 2026 (Q2), significantly improving from the previous value of 15.2561% and turning from positive to negative. Although AI and high-tech manufacturing boosted overall electricity demand, the tight power supply and demand situation was significantly alleviated in the early stage of the peak summer season, thanks to the coordinated supply guarantee of coal power and wind/solar green power.
