China’s total electricity consumption reached a milestone in 2025, surpassing 10 trillion kilowatt-hours for the first time, the National Energy Administration (NEA) announced on Saturday.
Total power use in China hit 10.4 trillion kilowatt-hours last year, representing a year-on-year increase of 5 percent, according to NEA data.
This volume also makes China the first country to surpass the 10-trillion-kWh mark in annual power use, more than doubling that of the United States and exceeding the combined power consumption of the EU, Russia, India, and Japan, said the NEA.
