On 8th, the National Energy Board released data show that the first five months of this year, six high energy-consuming industries for the whole society contribution to the growth rate of electricity 42.7%, high energy-consuming industries electricity the entire society is still the main driving force of growth.
 Data show that in the first five months of growth in electricity demand 12 percent, the high energy-consuming industries driven by 5.1 percentage points.
 National Energy Board official told reporters that the six energy-intensive industries absolute electricity consumption of secondary industry accounted for two-thirds of the total electricity consumption in nearly half of China's economic restructuring and industrial upgrade facing greater challenges. Control energy consumption should be adopted to form Forced mechanism, promote industrial restructuring.
 Data show that the first five months, the total electricity consumption total 1.8545 trillion kwh, an increase of 12%. Electricity, steel, building materials, nonferrous metals, chemicals and petrochemical industries together six 887.3 billion kwh of electricity consumption, total electricity consumption of about 48%.
 According to the data, the first five months, six high-energy consumption industries grew 10.5%, lower than the growth rate of electricity the entire society of 1.5 percentage points, respectively, lower than the tertiary, urban and rural residential electricity consumption growth rate of 4.5, 1.8 percentage points. National Energy Bureau official explained that the high energy consumption growth lower than the industry total electricity consumption growth rate and the base last year, consumption of high energy-consuming industries and the absolute amount of the contribution of these industries in the first half reflects the rapid momentum needs to be effectively curbed.
