China's National Energy Administration recently released data showing that total social electricity consumption in May rose by 5.3% year-on-year to 449.2 billion kWh, marking a significant rebound from the previous period of declining growth rates. This represents an increase of 0.7 percentage points compared to April, signaling a positive shift in energy demand.
In April, total electricity consumption had grown by 4.6%, while in March it reached 7.2%. February saw an even higher growth rate of 13.7%, though this trend began to slow down in subsequent months. The May figures suggest that industrial activity is gradually recovering, with industrial electricity use rising by 5.5%—a 1.7 percentage point increase from April. This indicates that the sluggish growth in the real economy may be temporarily stabilizing.
Looking at the cumulative data for the first five months of the year, total national electricity consumption reached 1,163.8 billion kWh, reflecting a 5.2% year-on-year increase. Among the sectors, the primary industry saw a decline in electricity use by 5.8%, while the secondary industry experienced a 5.1% rise. The tertiary sector recorded a 6.4% increase, and urban and rural residents' electricity consumption also grew by 6.4%.
In terms of power supply capacity, China added 29.36 million kilowatts of new generation capacity from January to May, including 8.35 million kilowatts from hydropower and 13.04 million kilowatts from thermal power. These figures highlight ongoing efforts to meet growing energy demands.
A range of key economic indicators, such as the manufacturing PMI, export volumes, fixed asset investment, retail sales, and electricity consumption, have all shown signs of improvement. This suggests that China’s economy is gradually recovering under the influence of targeted “micro-stimulus†policies.
Electricity consumption has long been regarded as one of the so-called "Li Keqiang Index," a set of indicators used by Premier Li Keqiang to assess regional economic health. He has often relied on electricity usage, new loan issuance, and railway freight volume to gauge economic performance.
The importance of electricity consumption as an economic indicator was formally recognized in the 2014 government work report, which set a target of achieving a 7.5% annual increase in total social electricity consumption. This underscores the significance of energy data in understanding broader economic trends.
Laboratory Centrifuge
A laboratory centrifuge is a piece of equipment used to separate components of a mixture based on their density and size. It works by spinning samples at high speeds, which creates a centrifugal force that causes the heavier components to move to the bottom of the tube or container. The lighter components remain at the top or in the supernatant.
Laboratory centrifuges are used in various fields such as biology, chemistry, and medicine. They can be used for DNA extraction, protein purification, cell separation, and blood analysis. They are essential tools in research and diagnostic laboratories.
We have Mini Centrifuge,Low Speed Centrifuge etc.
