China's Economic Information Daily (via MNi):
- China's electricity usage growth rate of around 1% to 2% in 2016
- Forecast from the China Electric Council
- Usage was up 0.5% y/y in 2015
- Up 3.8% growth in 2014
- Citing power consumption growth accelerated slightly so far in January, largely a result of cold weather
-
China Electric Council is an industry association
-
An electricity growth rate of 1 to 2% seems quite low given the official China GDP growth forecasts of a gazillion bazillion percent or whatever number they've pulled from Xi Jinping's ... hat this week.
