Electricity prices in China for industrial consumers depend on the type of production, specific electricity consumption characteristics, and the region where the consumer is located. The cost of electricity is a vital production factor for industrial enterprises, especially in energy-intensive sectors such as steel rolling, iron production, manufacturing of other metals, building materials, and chemicals.
Cost of Production Capacity in China
More than 60% of Chinese manufacturing is concentrated in the coastal areas in the east of the country, in regions such as Guangdong. However, recent legislation proposes relocating some manufacturing to central and western regions of China—further away from the country's major cities. In recent times, there has been a notable increase in production output in such densely populated central and western provinces as Sichuan, Hainan, Shanxi, and Guangzhou.

Pricing
Electricity prices in China are largely regulated by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). However, the actual prices in the provinces are set by the local grid operators. This is why electricity prices vary so much from region to region.
