This trend
Executive summary – Electricity 2024 – Analysis
Falling electricity consumption in advanced economies restrained growth in global power demand in 2023. The world''s demand for electricity grew by 2.2% in 2023, less than the 2.4% growth observed in 2022. While China, India and numerous countries in Southeast Asia experienced robust growth in electricity demand in 2023, advanced economies posted substantial declines
A Comprehensive Analysis of the Power Demand–Supply Situation
The analysis shows that in 2020, China''s electricity generation and consumption increased by 0.9 and 1.3 percent annually, respectively, producing capacity of power plants increased by 5.6 GW, coal consumption of power supply decreased by 4.3 g/kWh, power generation projects investment increased by 51.6 billion RMB, power grid

6 FAQs about [Relationship between China s solar power generation and electricity consumption]
Why does China have a low solar power generation rate?
The Northeast China has lower theoretical PV power generation mainly due to the high latitude, low solar radiation and low land use, while the lower value of the East and Central China are mainly because of thicker clouds cover and higher temperature.
Is China a leader in solar power?
With its total installed capacity of solar PV surpassing that of the United States in 2013 and Germany in 2015 (15, 16), China has maintained its leading global position in terms of not only the deployment of solar power but also the manufacture of PV modules.
How much solar power will China have in 2020?
With addition of 48.2 GW in 2020, China’s installed capacity of solar PV rose to 253.4 GW (12), far ahead of a target of 105 GW set for 2020 in the 13th 5-y plan (17). The large-scale installation of solar power both globally and in China has promoted improvements in PV conversion efficiencies and reductions in generation costs.
Why is solar power a problem in northwest China?
Most of the solar power in Northwest China is generated inutility-scale solar power plants, which led to power production that exceeded the targeted level in recent years. At the same time, the local demand for electricity was not growing enough to match with the rise of power supply.
What is the growth rate of power consumption in China?
During the first three quarters of 2021, the annual growth rate of total power consumption in east, central, west, and northeast China was 2965.1 TWh, 1156.9 TWh, 1710.8 TWh, and 332.3 TWh, respectively. The growth rates in the four regions were 13.6%, 13.8%, 12.1%, and 8.2%. Average growth rates for two years were 7.8%, 6.5%, 8.7%, and 4.4%.
How does power market reform affect electricity consumption in China?
In addition, in the process of power market reform in China, different regions such as eastern, central and western regions have different degrees of growth. The eastern region is moving faster, and the central and western regions are moving slower, so electricity consumption may have different effects at these regional levels.
