Relevant parties have leveraged the national unified electricity market system to strengthen power interconnections. On Friday, the total maximum transmitted power across inter-provincial, inter-regional, and inter-grid channels reached 263 million kilowatts, and on Tuesday, the total reached a new high of 278 million kilowatts, the NEA said in a statement on Tuesday.

　　According to NEA data, electricity consumption rose 3.7 percent year-on-year to 898.1 billion kilowatt-hours in June, up 3.7 percent year-on-year. By sector, the high-tech and equipment manufacturing industry consumed 112.1 billion kilowatt-hours in the month, an annual increase of 10.3 percent.

　　Lin Boqiang, chair professor and dean of the China Institute for Studies in Energy Policy of the School of Management at Xiamen University, told the Global Times on Wednesday that robust growth in electricity has reflected the resilience of the Chinese economy, with a transportation sector featuring mass adaptation of new-energy vehicles and electrification across industries.

　　Lin said that even as summer power demand fluctuates, China"s power system has enough leeway to cope with any peaks in the coming months, as the country"s coal-fired plants still have redundant power capacity of some 20 percent.

　　China reached a climate milestone in 2025 as its additional renewable energy entirely covered the country"s growing power needs. This marked the first time that green energy alone had supported all additional energy demand driven by economic growth, Xinhua reported in June.

　　Qian Jing, vice president of Jinko Solar, a Chinese solar giant, told the Global Times that building a self-reliant, controllable, and sustainable energy system is not only about addressing climate change, but also about national energy security, independence, and economic competitiveness.
