The latest data for the third quarter of 2026 in China shows that total electricity consumption in September reached 899.7 billion kWh. This is a decline from the record high of 1,033.2 billion kWh in the previous month, but still maintains a year-on-year growth of 1.2%. Among them, residential electricity consumption declined due to weather factors, but power demand for charging and battery swap services as well as internet data services was strong, with year-on-year growth rates both exceeding 30%, indicating that new economic drivers are gradually becoming the new engines for electricity consumption growth.
