China's urban and rural residential electricity consumption in April 2026 (Q2 2026) was reported at 99.20 billion kWh. Due to the end of spring heating, it showed a seasonal decline from the previous value of 117.20 billion kWh, but still maintained a year-on-year growth of 6.0%. The growth rate of total societal electricity consumption expanded synchronously, with surging demand from charging and battery swap services as well as internet data services, indicating that the upcoming summer peak will pose a new round of tests for the power grid.
