We learned from the State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Co., Ltd. that on July 31, the highest electricity consumption load of the Jiangsu Power Grid set a new historical record, breaking 160 million kilowatts for the first time, reaching 160.9 million kilowatts. In the first half of this year, the electricity consumption of the entire Jiangsu community reached 427.859 billion kilowatt-hours, an increase of 5.57% over the previous year. The growth rate was 2.25 percentage points higher than the same period in 2025. Ruan Wenjun, director of the marketing department of the State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Co., Ltd., said that since the beginning of summer, hot weather has driven the concentrated release of air conditioning loads, which has become a direct cause of the electricity consumption load of the Jiangsu power grid rising. Looking more closely, while the air conditioning load is rising rapidly, it is 6.3 percentage points lower than the peak load in 2025. The main reason is that electricity consumption in industries such as computer communication equipment manufacturing, charging and switching services, and Internet data services increased strongly. The load increased by 8.4%, 57.8%, and 26.5%, respectively.
