CHINA'S electricity consumption may increase 7 percent this year as government policies aimed at stabilizing economic growth take effect, the State Electricity Regulatory Commission has said.
Demand may rise to 5.1 trillion kilowatt-hours, according to a report on the regulator's website. Power use should accelerate toward the end of the year. The pace of growth compares with 5.5 percent in the first half and 11.7 percent in 2011, according to data from the National Energy Administration. The northeast and northwest will have surplus power, while the eastern, northern, southern and central regions may face shortages during peak periods.
