Notes
  1. Components of the National Power Consumption Series Index
    The National Power Consumption Series Index, abbreviated as CNECI (China National Electricity Consumption Index), covers the total industry electricity consumption, as well as electricity consumption in agriculture/forestry/animal husbandry/fishery, manufacturing, and services sectors. The total industry electricity consumption reflects the overall power consumption of all primary, secondary, and tertiary industries; electricity consumption in agriculture/forestry/animal husbandry/fishery, manufacturing, and services sectors reflects the power consumption in these three major fields. In addition, several representative categories or industries are selected within the manufacturing and services sectors: the manufacturing sector includes four high-capacity energy-intensive industries, high-tech and equipment manufacturing, and consumer goods manufacturing; the services sector includes transportation/warehousing and post, information transmission/software and IT services, accommodation and catering, and charging and swapping services. All index data is sourced from the industry statistics of the China Electricity Council (CEC).
  2. Index Periodicity and Base Period
    The monthly series index is compiled on a monthly basis, with 2020 as the fixed base period (set to 100 for all indicators) to reflect the cumulative changes of relevant indicators since the "14th Five-Year Plan". For indicators such as electricity consumption that reflect a specific time period, the data of the corresponding month in the base year is used as the base period. To smooth out abnormal or random fluctuations in the actual statistical data, the monthly data of the fixed base year is not directly adopted from the statistical data but assigned using the weighted average method. Considering that some statistical indicators in power consumption are updated with the current period values when calculating the current period values, the index for the same month of the previous year is also updated synchronously when calculating the latest index each month (the index for the same month of the previous year is adjusted based on the revision of the corresponding statistical indicators).
  3. Index Calculation
    First, the indicator values are standardized (current value divided by base value). For the composite index, the exponential weighting method is used for comprehensive evaluation. The basic formula for the exponential weighting method is: Composite Index S = ΣPi * Wi. Where Pi is the evaluation value of the i-th sub-indicator after standardization, and Wi is the weight value of the i-th sub-indicator. The product of the value and the corresponding weight Wi gives the score of the sub-indicator. The scores of all sub-indicators are calculated and then summed to obtain the composite index.
  4. Explanations of Relevant Indicators
  5. The total industry electricity consumption is the sum of the electricity consumption of the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries. The agriculture/forestry/animal husbandry/fishery electricity consumption refers to the electricity consumption of the primary industry (excluding agricultural, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery professional and auxiliary activities). The services electricity consumption refers to the electricity consumption of the tertiary industry.
  6. The four high-capacity energy-intensive industries include chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing, non-metallic mineral products manufacturing, black metal smelting and rolling processing, and non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing.
  7. The high-tech and equipment manufacturing includes pharmaceutical manufacturing, metal products manufacturing, general equipment manufacturing, specialized equipment manufacturing, automotive manufacturing, rail/ship/aerospace and other transportation equipment manufacturing, electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing, computer/communication and other electronic equipment manufacturing, and instrument manufacturing.
  8. The consumer goods manufacturing includes 农副 food processing, food manufacturing, wine/beverage and refined tea manufacturing, tobacco products manufacturing, textile manufacturing, textile and garment/clothing manufacturing, leather/fur/feather and their products and footwear manufacturing, wood processing and bamboo/wood/rattan/brown/grass products manufacturing, furniture manufacturing, paper and paper products manufacturing, printing and recording media reproduction, and cultural, educational, artistic, sports and entertainment goods manufacturing.
