China's electricity consumption has surged due to rapid growth in data services and electric vehicles, while the country also made significant strides in clean energy adoption.

Chinese electricity consumption in the data services industry and for charging and battery services soared in the first half of 2024, driven by technology and electric vehicles, data from the China Electricity Council has shown. Power consumption in data centers, big data, and cloud computing jumped by 33% between January and June compared to the same period of 2023, according to the data cited by China Daily.

4%, driven by the services and industrial sectors, the International Energy Agency IEA said in its Electricity Mid-Year Update report earlier this month. Electricity consumption per capita in China already exceeded that of the European Union at the end of 2022 and is set to rise further, the agency said.
