China's power consumption down in April

China's power consumption decelerated in April due to slowing industrial activities.

The National Energy Administration announced that energy consumption rose 3.7 percent year-on-year to 389.9 billion kWh in April, down 3.3 percentage points from that in March.

For the first four months, electricity consumption increased 6 percent from a year ago to 1.56 trillion KWh, said the NEA.

But China's industrial production weakened sharply in April, with industrial value-added output up 9.3 percent year-on-year after taking into account inflation, marking the lowest pace in nearly three years.

During the January-April period, electricity consumption by primary industries decreased 4.2 percent year-on-year to 26.7 billion kWh, power used by secondary industries expandedby 3.7 percent to 1.13 trillion kWh, while the tertiary industries consumed 181.7 billionkWh of electricity, up 12.5 percent from a year ago.

On the other hand, residential electricity consumption increased 15.4 percent from a year earlier to 217.6 billion kWh.
