Core Insights - The article highlights the record high electricity demand in China, reaching 1.467 billion kilowatts, and emphasizes the importance of ensuring sufficient power supply during peak summer months [1][2]. Group 1: Power Supply and Generation - Coal remains a critical component in energy supply, acting as a stabilizer in the energy mix, with major coal-fired power plants in Huainan contributing significantly to the grid [1][2]. - Huainan has seven large coal-fired power plants with a total installed capacity of 15.62 million kilowatts, supplying nearly 200 million kilowatt-hours daily to the East China grid [2]. - Nationally, coal inventories at regulated power plants have remained above 200 million tons, ensuring over 30 days of supply [2]. Group 2: Renewable Energy Contribution - The transition to renewable energy sources is increasingly vital for power supply during peak demand periods, with significant solar power generation reported in Shandong [4]. - On July 5, Shandong's renewable energy output reached 66.615 million kilowatts, accounting for 54.9% of the total grid load and 63.1% of total generation, with solar power contributing 83.9% of that output [4]. Group 3: Energy Distribution and Management - Efficient energy distribution systems are crucial for managing peak demand, with initiatives in Xinjiang facilitating the transfer of renewable energy to other regions [6][7]. - A new cross-regional trading mechanism has been established to optimize electricity supply and demand across different regions, enabling significant electricity transfers from southern provinces to eastern regions [9]. Group 4: Demand-Side Management - Demand-side management strategies, such as using virtual power plants and new energy storage systems, are being implemented to balance peak loads effectively [10][11]. - Initiatives encouraging residential energy conservation, such as the "demand response" program in Anhui, aim to reduce peak electricity usage by incentivizing households to save energy [13].
