It Is Estimated That The Largest Power Load in China This Year May Exceed 1.36 Billion Kilowatts

Summer is approaching. Liang Changxin, director of the General Affairs Department of the National Energy Administration and spokesman, introduced at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office on April 12 that it is estimated that the country's maximum power load this year may exceed 1.36 billion kilowatts, a larger increase than last year. . According to research and judgment, my country's national power supply is generally guaranteed this year, and some provinces may experience power shortages during peak hours.

In order to cope with the peak of electricity consumption that may come this year, the National Energy Administration has done a good job of monitoring the power supply and demand situation on a regular basis. Before the flood season, we will continue to closely monitor the incoming water situation and the supply and demand situation in Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, fully consider the uncertainty of incoming water during the flood season, and prepare early to meet the peak summer power supply. In accordance with the principle of "moderately ahead and leaving a margin", urge all kinds of power supplies to be put into production before the peak in summer to play a role in ensuring supply. Among them, the supporting power supply is not less than 17 million kilowatts. Continue to optimize the regional main grid structure and enhance emergency support capabilities.

Focus on ensuring the quantity, quality and price of coal supply. Supervise and guide the localities to speed up the procedures for the construction of coal mines, promote the construction of approved projects as soon as possible, further optimize the construction schedule of coal mines under construction, and put them into production as soon as possible. Urge power generation companies to implement a stable supply of coal and gas, sign medium and long-term agreements for coal and gas with quality and quantity, and step up efforts to monitor performance. Urge power generation companies to strengthen production and operation and equipment operation and maintenance management, and resolutely obey dispatching instructions to ensure that generating units can be topped, sent out, and stabilized. Urge localities to guide society to support, understand, and participate in demand-side response, further improve demand-side response capabilities, effectively relieve pressure during peak hours, and urge localities to further optimize orderly power consumption plans and implement them in a precise and detailed manner.
