How it reaches your house.
Starting from State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Electricity (residential) →Shortage riskDistribution Step-Down & Local Delivery
Automatic blackouts directly interrupt the local delivery stage serving residential customers, leaving delivered electricity unavailable.
96% confidenceState Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) →Shortage riskElectricity (electrolytic refining)
Automatic blackouts at SGCC reduce available electricity supply to users; with a 45% market share, low substitutability, and long replacement lead time, the downstream electricity input for electrolytic refining is materially constrained.
86% confidenceResidential Electricity →Shortage riskStep-Down Substation & Distribution
Automatic blackouts directly constrain the distribution layer that delivers electricity to residences, so delivered residential power becomes scarce during the outage.
Hop 2
Electricity (electrolytic refining) →Shortage riskElectricity is a critical input for electrolytic refining, so blackouts that curtail power directly constrain copper and electrical wiring output.
94% confidenceNatural Gas (Pipeline-Grade, >95% Methane) →Shortage riskResidential electricity is a critical, high-dependency input to pipeline-grade natural gas, so a gas shortfall can feed back into further outages.
80% confidenceHop 3
Copper and electrical wiring →DelaysCopper rod production (continuous casting)
Automatic blackouts directly interrupt this electricity-intensive casting stage, stretching lead times in the copper-to-wiring chain.
72% confidenceCopper and electrical wiring →Prices easeIf copper and electrical wiring output slows under blackout conditions, demand for 8mm copper rod as a key feedstock softens, creating price pressure down.
67% confidenceHop 4
Copper rod (8mm) →Shortage riskCopper rod is a critical upstream input to copper and electrical wiring, so blackout-driven rod shortages directly tighten this good.
95% confidenceCopper rod (8mm) →Shortage riskChina holds 58% of the supply share on this node, and the blackout shock originates in China's power system, so the largest supply source is directly constrained.
88% confidenceCopper rod (8mm) →Prices riseSouthwire's 5% exposure, low substitutability, and 9-month replacement horizon make copper rod scarcity likely to raise its input costs.
