According to data released by the National Energy Administration on the 23rd, the total electricity consumption in September was 888.6 billion kilowatt hours, a year-on-year increase of 4.5%. From the perspective of different industries, the electricity consumption of the primary industry reached 12.9 billion kilowatt hours, a year-on-year increase of 7.3%; The electricity consumption of the secondary industry was 570.5 billion kilowatt hours, a year-on-year increase of 5.7%; The electricity consumption of the tertiary industry reached 176.5 billion kilowatt hours, a year-on-year increase of 6.3%; The daily electricity consumption of urban and rural residents was 128.7 billion kilowatt hours, a year-on-year decrease of 2.6%. In the first three quarters, the total electricity consumption of the whole society reached 776.75 billion kilowatt hours, a year-on-year increase of 4.6%. From the perspective of different industries, the electricity consumption of the first, second, and third industries increased by 10.2%, 3.4%, and 7.5% respectively year-on-year; The electricity consumption of urban and rural residents increased by 5.6% year-on-year. Jiang Debin, Deputy Director of the Statistics and Intelligence Department of the China Electricity Council, analyzed that the total electricity consumption in the first, second, and third quarters of this year increased by 2.5%, 4.9%, and 6.1% year-on-year, respectively, and the year-on-year growth rate showed a quarterly upward trend. In July and August, the scale of electricity consumption in the whole society remained high and the growth rate was fast. On the one hand, this was due to multiple rounds of high temperature processes driving the maximum electricity load in the whole society to repeatedly reach new highs. On the other hand, it was due to the continuous and timely strengthening of macro policies, and the national economy continued to develop steadily under pressure. The series of policies have significantly boosted the growth rate of electricity consumption in the second industry in the third quarter. ”Jiang Debin introduced that in the third quarter, the contribution rate of electricity consumption in the secondary industry to the growth of electricity consumption in the whole society was 51%, which was the main driving force for the growth of electricity consumption in the whole society in the third quarter. In the third quarter, the electricity consumption of high-tech and equipment manufacturing industry increased by 9.5% year-on-year, which was 4.3 percentage points higher than the average growth level of manufacturing industry in that quarter, forming a new driving force for electricity consumption growth. Among them, the automobile manufacturing industry, electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing industry, general equipment manufacturing industry, railway/ship/aerospace and other transportation equipment manufacturing industry all achieved double-digit growth in electricity consumption, leading the growth rate. The electricity consumption of the service industry maintains stable and rapid growth. In the third quarter, the electricity consumption of the tertiary industry increased by 8.3% year-on-year. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, charging piles, 5G and other new infrastructure construction, the information transmission/software and information technology service industry, wholesale and retail industry saw rapid growth in electricity consumption in the third quarter, with year-on-year growth rates of 18.3% and 11.7%, respectively.
