China's power generation in September 2026 (Q3) reached 829.356 billion kWh, falling sharply by 12.1% compared to August as the summer peak electricity demand ended. Although official base-adjusted figures show a slight year-on-year decrease, clean energy sources such as nuclear and solar power delivered high double-digit growth, indicating that the overall energy structure transition and the foundation of industrial demand remain solid.
