On August 15, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed that in July, power generation was 846.2 billion Kwh, a year-on-year increase of 3.6%, and the growth rate was 0.8-percentage-points faster than that in June, with an average daily power generation of 27.30 billion Kwh.

On August 15, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed that in July, power generation was 846.2 billion Kwh, a year-on-year increase of 3.6%, and the growth rate was 0.8-percentage-points faster than that in June, with an average daily power generation of 27.30 billion Kwh. From January to July, the power generation was 5,013 billion Kwh, a year-on-year increase of 3.8%. In terms of varieties, in July, the growth rate of thermal power, nuclear power, and solar power generation fell, the decline rate of hydropower narrowed, and the growth rate of wind power turned from negative to positive. Among them, thermal power increased by 7.2% YoY, and the growth rate down 7.0 percentage points MoM; hydropower decreased by 17.5%, and the decline rate down 16.4 percentage points MoM; nuclear power increased by 2.9%, and the growth rate down 10.9 percentage points MoM; wind power increased 25.0%, an MoM decrease of 1.8%; solar power generation increased by 6.4%, and the growth rate was 2.4 percentage points slower than that in June.

A leading petrochemical plant halted one production resumption line yesterday, and today another line started producing LDPE. In the short term, the enterprise's production schedule will maintain parallel production of one high-pressure material line and one PV material line. After this line adjustment, the plant's PV material output scale has contracted somewhat.

On August 31, 2026, the Huaneng Shaanxi Shenmu 100,000 kW PV power generation project achieved full-capacity grid connection, marking that the installed capacity of Huaneng Shaanxi New Energy Branch exceeded 3 million kW. Since the commencement of the Shenmu project, in the face of multiple challenges such as frequent windy and sandy weather in northern Shaanxi, complex terrain and landforms, constrained construction conditions, and tight schedule periods, all builders have united their efforts, overcome difficulties, and pursued excellence. They strictly implemented safety production and quality control requirements, scientifically coordinated construction plans, optimized construction process flows, and orderly advanced key tasks including booster station construction, solar panel mounting bracket installation, module laying, collector line installation, and equipment debugging and calibration. Through refined management, standardized construction, and regularized problem-solving, they efficiently resolved various difficulties and bottlenecks during the construction process, steadily advanced the project construction progress, and successfully completed the perfect conclusion from first grid connection to full-capacity grid connection, fully demonstrating Huaneng's speed, Huaneng's responsibility, and Huaneng's quality.
