In August 2026, the cumulative industrial power consumption in China's secondary industry reached 5,063.2 billion kWh, continuing to climb from 4,488.0 billion kWh in July. The single-month industrial power consumption grew by approximately 1.82% year-on-year, roughly in sync with the growth rate of total electricity consumption of the whole society. As the pressure of "meeting peak summer demand" eases and the cross-regional power transmission reform is launched, the future industrial power consumption structure will accelerate its transition towards refinement and greening.
