China's Q1 2026 power generation of industrial enterprises above designated size was most recently reported at 8025.0 100-million kWh, retreating from Q4 2025's 8586.0 100-million kWh due to seasonal factors. However, the industrial value-added during the same period grew by 5.7% year-on-year, exceeding market expectations. Within the power generation structure, solar and hydropower both demonstrated double-digit growth, providing a solid green baseload for industrial recovery. Looking ahead, the expansion of high-tech manufacturing will support short-term power consumption, but attention must be paid to medium-term challenges brought by real estate weakness and geopolitical risks.
