Mainland power output falls 8.3pc amid slowing economy
The mainland cut power output by 8.3 per cent in the first 1-1/2 months because of a slowing economy. Electricity generation from the country’s major power producers dropped to 328.1 million megawatt-hours between January 1 and February 15 from a year earlier. Factory output contracted for a fourth month in January as exports fell, cutting electricity consumption, according to an official government-backed survey. Bloomberg
