Power Differences Between China and the U.S. in the AI Era By 2025, the total electricity consumption in the U.S. is expected to hit a historic high of 4.58 trillion kWh. Institutions predict that from 2025 to 2028, North America will face a 44GW power gap for data centers. China's annual power generation is around 10 trillion kWh. There's no nationwide power shortage in China, but rather structural, time-specific, and regional tightness—surplus power in the northwest, tighter supply along the coast. In western China, industrial electricity prices are as low as 0.2-0.3 RMB/kWh, which is a cost advantage for the global AI computing power industry. For every 1 kWh of electricity, when sold through computing power services, the GDP value it generates far exceeds the value of directly selling electricity. This is essentially leveraging electricity—without computing power, it's just 0.3 RMB/kWh industrial electricity. But when plugged into GPUs to generate tokens and sold globally, the value of electricity is amplified dozens or even hundreds of times. #AI #BinanceCoin #Electricity
