In September 2026, China's industrial power consumption reached 575.1 billion kWh, retreating from the previous value of 606.5 billion kWh in August due to seasonal factors, but still maintaining a year-on-year growth rate of 1.8%. Within the overall data, the power consumption of high-tech and equipment manufacturing industries performed remarkably with a 4.6% year-on-year increase, offsetting the drag from traditional industries and weather factors. Going forward, driven by AI computing power and new energy vehicle infrastructure, power demand from new business models is expected to continue serving as a key support for macroeconomic transformation.
