Data show that the country’s high electricity consumption in July, in addition to some summer heat factors, also reflects the relatively strong industrial production. On July 14, the national daily electricity consumption set a new historical record. The East China and Central China regional power grids and 11 provincial-level power grids including Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang hit a record high. On July 15, the daily consumption of the six coastal power plants hit the highest level in history.
