In August 2026, China's tertiary industry electricity consumption was 185.2 billion kWh, a significant decline from 215.5 billion kWh in July. Although typhoons and heavy rainfall reduced electricity demand for air conditioning, new business formats such as internet data services and battery charging and swapping services still demonstrated strong growth. It is expected that as the autumn off-peak electricity consumption season approaches, subsequent attention should be directed toward the boosting effect of the fourth-quarter peak consumption season on electricity usage.
