Power costs in China's industrial regions have significantly decreased, driven by a 30% drop in coal prices and increased reliance on renewable energy.

This shift towards market-based pricing and renewable energy is enhancing China's competitive edge in global manufacturing, particularly in energy-intensive sectors. China's strategy of combining abundant coal resources with aggressive renewable energy development positions it as a leader in both energy security and clean technology, reshaping global industrial competitiveness and energy geopolitics.
