The latest data shows that China's total electricity consumption in Q3 (July) of 2026 increased by 1.7% YoY, completely flat compared to the previous reading. A detailed breakdown indicates strong performance in high-tech manufacturing and charging/battery swapping services, effectively offsetting the decline in residential electricity consumption caused by weather factors. In the short term, new productive forces will continue to support electricity demand, but in the medium term, macro risks regarding overall domestic demand and grid absorption capacity still warrant attention.
