On December 11, Chengdu broke through the 100 billion kilowatt-hour mark in annual electricity sales for the year 2025, with a year-on-year increase of 6.78%. It has become the first provincial capital city in the central and western regions to achieve both annual total electricity consumption and electricity sales exceeding 100 billion, marking a milestone in Chengdu's 120-year history of electricity use.

Electricity consumption serves as a barometer of economic performance. According to data from the Chengdu Municipal Statistics Bureau, the GDP for the first three quarters of 2025 reached 1,822.69 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 5.8%. The synchronized growth of electricity consumption and the economy demonstrates the city's strong development momentum.

This momentum is driven by industrial upgrading, the expansion of new quality productive forces, and citizens' green lifestyle. From industry to innovative investment, and green consumption, the breakthrough in electricity consumption behind the 100 billion mark is a vibrant and thriving Chengdu.

On the production side, the industrial foundation is solid. The production lines of Chengdu Silan Semiconductor are operating at full capacity, with order fulfillment reaching a new high and expected electricity consumption growth exceeding 37%. Chengdu has formed two trillion-level industrial clusters in electronic information and equipment manufacturing, with industrial electricity consumption increasing by 37.9% over five years.

On the investment side, new drivers are activated. The output of the SVOLT Energy Technology Co., Ltd. has significantly increased, leading to a notable rise in electricity consumption. Chengdu focuses on emerging industries such as next-generation information technology and high-end equipment manufacturing, with project implementation driving electricity consumption growth. The Tianfu Data Center Cluster has a computing power of over 8000P, resulting in a substantial increase in electricity use.

On the consumption side, green living is upgrading. The sales of new energy vehicles account for more than half, with Chengdu having 1.08 million new energy vehicles, 527,000 charging piles, and a significant increase in charging volume. The operational mileage of rail transit has exceeded 700 kilometers, increasing electricity consumption for the subway. Green electricity is widely applied, and new consumption models have boosted electricity consumption growth.

Chengdu's electricity growth focuses on both 'quantity' and 'quality', with the proportion of clean electricity exceeding 85%. From industry to new productive forces, from investment to consumption, the breaking of the 100 billion mark in both electricity consumption and sales showcases Chengdu's high-quality economic development and its future 'momentum'.
