On July 14, the China Electric Power Enterprise Federation released the “China Electric Power Industry Annual Development Report 2026”. The report shows that in 2025, the country's electricity consumption was 10.4 trillion kilowatt-hours, an increase of 5.0% over the previous year. The scale of electricity consumption is more than double the annual electricity consumption of the United States, which is equivalent to the sum of the United States, India, Russia, Japan, Brazil, and Canada, which rank second to seventh in the world in terms of annual electricity consumption, which means that China, as a supereconomy, has moved into an era of clean, low-carbon, convenient and intelligent electrification. Among them, in July and August 2025, the electricity consumption of the entire country's society continuously exceeded 1 trillion kilowatt-hours, exceeding the annual electricity consumption of Germany and France, setting the world's highest monthly electricity consumption record for a single country, reflecting China's strong power supply guarantee capacity and stable operation control capabilities in response to the concentrated outbreak of huge cooling loads in hot weather.
