National Bureau of Statistics: In July, the output of raw coal from industrial enterprises above designated size was 340 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 10.1%.

Energy Production Situation in July 2026 In July, the production of raw coal in the above-scale industries (hereinafter referred to as "above-scale industries") fell year-on-year, the production of crude oil turned from a decline to an increase, natural gas production remained stable, and electricity production was steady and orderly. I. Production and Related Situations of Raw Coal, Crude Oil, and Natural Gas Raw coal production decreased year-on-year. In July, the output of raw coal in above-scale industries was 340 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 10.1%; the average daily output was 11.07 million tons. From January to July, the output of raw coal in above-scale industries was 2.7 billion tons, a year-on-year decrease of 2.9%. Crude oil production turned from a decline to an increase. In July, the output of crude oil in above-scale industries was 18.27 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 0.8%, compared to a decline of 0.5% in June; the average daily output was 589,000 tons. From January to July, the output of crude oil in above-scale industries was 127.69 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 0.9%. The decline in crude oil processing narrowed. In July, the processing volume of crude oil in above-scale industries was 53.11 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 15.8%, with a narrowing of 1.9 percentage points compared to June; the average daily processing volume was 1.713 million tons. From January to July, the processing volume of crude oil in above-scale industries was 396.96 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 6.5%. Natural gas production remained stable. In July, the output of natural gas in above-scale industries was 21.4 billion cubic meters, a year-on-year decrease of 0.9%; the average daily output was 690 million cubic meters. From January to July, the output of natural gas in above-scale industries was 154.3 billion cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 1.2%. II. Electricity Production Situation Electricity production in above-scale industries was basically stable. In July, electricity generation in above-scale industries was 943.9 billion kilowatt-hours, a slight year-on-year decrease of 0.1%; the average daily generation was 30.45 billion kilowatt-hours. From January to July, electricity generation in above-scale industries was 5,698.5 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 3.0%. By type, in July, thermal power in above-scale industries turned from an increase to a decrease, hydropower growth accelerated, nuclear power and CECEP Solar Energy generation growth slowed down, and wind power turned from a decline to an increase. Among them, thermal power in above-scale industries decreased by 3.5% year-on-year, compared to a growth of 0.5% in June; hydropower in above-scale industries increased by 6.7%, with a growth acceleration of 1.9 percentage points; nuclear power in above-scale industries grew by 6.6%, with a slowdown of 1.9 percentage points; wind power in above-scale industries increased by 4.5%, compared to a decline of 5.6% in June; and CECEP Solar Energy generation in above-scale industries increased by 5.6%, with a slowdown of 8.6 percentage points.
