Additionally, sectors encompassing culture, sports, and entertainment, along with accommodation, catering, and battery-swapping services, also reported growth in their electricity consumption.

Guizhou's digital economy is thriving, evidenced by the 49 pivotal data centers either under construction or already operational, boasting a computing capacity surpassing 100 EFLOPS (exaFLOPS), with intelligent computing constituting over 98% of this capacity.
