China has just reached a historic milestone in its energy transition.
China has just reached a historic milestone in its energy transition.
For the first time, coal accounted for less than 50% of the country's electricity generation in the first half of 2026.
China's power mix (H1 2026):
⚡ Coal: 49.7%
🌿 Renewables: 41.2%
☀️ Wind & Solar alone: 24.6%
⚛️ Nuclear & Natural Gas: 9.1%
Ten years ago, coal generated 65.5% of China's electricity. Today, that figure has fallen below half, while renewable generation has become a major pillar of the grid.
Why does this matter to the intralogistics and ASRS industry?
Because electricity is becoming one of the most strategic production resources.
As warehouses become increasingly automated—with ASRS, shuttle systems, AGVs, robotics, AI, and high-density data processing—power availability, grid stability, and energy costs will have a growing impact on system design and operational efficiency.
The future of logistics will not be driven only by software and automation.It will also be shaped by the evolution of the power system behind them.
The next generation of intelligent warehouses won't just move products more efficiently—they will also need to consume energy more intelligently.
