BEIJING - China's power consumption in September fell 12 percent month-on-month to 349.8 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh), the National Energy Administration (NEA) said Monday.

That year-on-year growth rate figure is lower than the 14.69 percent year-on-year growth rate recorded in August.
Wang Siqiang, a NEA official, said the slower growth was due to government efforts to save energy and reduce emissions.
In the first nine months, electricity consumption amounted to 3.14 trillion kWh, 18 percent more than in the same period last year.
