Multiple measures to ensure safe and stable power supply during peak summer

As the temperature continues to rise, the recent national electricity load and daily power generation have exceeded historical peaks, and supply and demand in some areas are tight during peak hours
.

The spokesperson of the National Development and Reform Commission Jin Xiandong said on the 19th that the power supply will be guaranteed and the people's livelihood will be guaranteed

The economy recovers steadily, and electricity consumption rises rapidly due to high temperature weather

Entering the peak summer, affected by the continuous large-scale high temperature weather in East China, Central China, and South China, the country's electricity generation and consumption continued to rise
.

The reporter learned from the National Development and Reform Commission that on July 14, the country’s power generation reached 27.

187 billion kWh, a record high, an increase of 1.
22 billion kWh from the historical peak before the beginning of summer; the country’s highest power consumption reached 1.
192 billion kWh, which is more than historically.

The relevant person in charge of the Economic Operation and Regulation Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission stated that the sustained and stable economic recovery and high temperature weather have led to a rapid rise in electricity generation and consumption throughout the country
.

Data show that in the first half of this year, electricity consumption in the whole society increased by 16.

2% year-on-year, of which industrial electricity consumption increased by 16.
5% year-on-year, accounting for 66.

　　Multiple measures to ensure safe and stable power supply during peak summer

　　Jin Xiandong said that in order to ensure the safe and stable supply of power during the peak summer period, the National Development and Reform Commission, together with local and relevant power companies, has taken various measures to ensure the stable and orderly operation of power
.

　　One is to closely track changes in the power supply and demand situation
.

In particular, it pays attention to the impact of economic development and weather changes on the growth of electricity consumption, and continuously refines and rolls adjustments to the emergency supply plan

　　The second is to focus on improving the power generation and supply capacity of various power sources
.

Promote the timely commissioning of important new power sources, promote more clean energy power generation, optimize the maintenance of generator sets and ensure the fuel supply of thermal power units, and strive to improve the peak power generation capacity of various power sources

　　The third is to focus on improving the ability of optimized dispatching of power grid resources
.

Give full play to the transport capacity of inter-regional and inter-provincial channels

　　The fourth is to focus on improving the flexibility and regulation ability of the power system
.

Actively promote the development and construction of pumped-storage power stations and new electrochemical energy storage, and strengthen the construction of emergency backup and peak-shaving power supply capabilities

　　Fifth, focus on deepening power demand side management
.

Refined implementation of orderly electricity consumption, ensuring electricity consumption for residents, agriculture, important public utilities and public welfare services, and earnestly guaranteeing electricity consumption for people's livelihood and key electricity consumption

　　Jin Xiandong said that he will work with all regions, relevant departments and power companies to coordinate energy security supply and green and low-carbon transformation, and ensure power safety and supply to ensure a stable and orderly power peak summer
.

　　A solid foundation for ensuring energy demand

　　The relevant person in charge of the Economic Operation and Regulation Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission said that in the face of the first fast-rising power consumption peak this summer, the country’s power operation is generally stable.
In some areas, peak power consumption is implemented during peak hours.
Affected
.
Affected by rainfall and temperature drops in some areas, electricity generation and consumption across the country have gradually fallen, the scale of peak-shifting electricity consumption in various places has been significantly reduced, and the guarantee of power supply has become more stable
.

　　The person in charge said that after years of hard work, China's energy security capabilities have a solid foundation
.

　　First, the power supply guarantee capacity has been steadily consolidated
.
Currently, the country's installed power generation capacity exceeds 2.
2 billion kilowatts
.
The peak shaving capacity of the power system has been continuously improved.
The scale of "West-to-East Power Transmission" is close to 300 million kilowatts.
The construction of backbone grids based on UHV technology is accelerated to achieve high-level power surplus and shortage
.

　　The second is that the coal supply capacity continues to increase, which can guarantee the coal demand during the summer peak
.

　　On July 14, the national unified regulation power plant consumed 7.
43 million tons of coal, a record high in the summer peak season, but the supply is generally guaranteed
.

　　At present, the output of large coal mines with an annual capacity of 1.
2 million tons and above accounts for more than 80%
.
In the first half of this year, the country's new high-quality advanced production capacity increased by more than 140 million tons per year, and in the second half of this year, it will add nearly 110 million tons per year
.
The coal reserve capacity has been continuously enhanced, and a government dispatchable reserve capacity of 100 million tons has been formed
.
This year, more than 5 million tons of national coal reserves have been placed on the market four times this year, and 10 million tons of reserves will continue to be invested
.

　　In addition, domestic companies are encouraged to lock in import resources and prices in advance
.
In June, China imported 28.
39 million tons of coal, a year-on-year increase of 12.
3%
.
It is expected that the growth trend will be maintained in July and August, and it is expected to exceed 30 million tons in July, which will better supplement domestic coal supply
.

　　The third is that the gas source support system is more diversified, and the supply of natural gas is sufficient and stable, creating conditions for the emergency peak power generation of gas turbines
.

　　The person in charge predicts that under the ideal situation of primary energy, incoming water and wind and solar resources, the maximum daily power demand can exceed 27.
5 billion kWh, and peak power and other energy demand can be effectively guaranteed
