The National Development and Reform Commission responded to three reasons on the 17th:
First, the rapid recovery of industrial production has driven the growth of electricity consumption. Among them, the added value of industries above designated size in Zhejiang in November increased by 11.9% year-on-year, ranking fifth in the country; from January to November, it increased by 4.8% year-on-year, more than twice the national average.
The second is the extreme cold weather, which further increases the electricity load. Affected by strong cold air, the temperature in Hunan and Jiangxi is abnormally low. Heating in these areas is dominated by electricity, which further increases power consumption.
According to data from the Electric Power Dispatching Control Center of State Grid Jiangxi Electric Power Co., Ltd., affected by the first cold wave this winter, the Jiangxi Power Grid has deployed 25.475 million kilowatts of electric load and 26.311 million kilowatts of dispatched power, both hitting a record high.
Third, the limited external power receiving capacity and unit failures increase the difficulty of ensuring power supply. The power channel capacity outside Hunan is 6 million kilowatts, and the power channel capacity outside Jiangxi is 2.6 million kilowatts, all of which have been delivered. Coal-fired power plants have increased the risk of failures due to long-term high-load operation. The units of Hunan Yueyang Power Plant and Baoqing Power Plant have recently failed and shut down, affecting 1.02 million kilowatts of power supply.
