国家能源局：迎峰度夏全国电力负荷4次创新高 供应总体有保障

Core Viewpoint - The National Energy Administration reports that during the peak summer electricity supply period, the national power load has repeatedly reached new highs, indicating a stable and orderly electricity supply despite high temperatures [1][3]. Group 1: Electricity Load and Supply - The maximum national electricity load has set a historical record four times since the beginning of the peak summer period, exceeding 1.5 billion kilowatts, with a peak of 1.508 billion kilowatts, an increase of 0.57 million kilowatts compared to last year's maximum load [3]. - A total of 19 provincial power grids, including Jiangsu, Shandong, and Guangdong, have experienced 46 instances of load surpassing historical highs [3]. - The national electricity load is expected to potentially exceed 1.55 billion kilowatts if multiple regions experience high temperatures simultaneously [3]. Group 2: Coal Supply and Inventory - Coal inventory at national regulated power plants has been steadily increasing, currently exceeding 200 million tons, which is sufficient for 30 days of use [7]. - The price of coal remains stable, with the spot price of Qinhuangdao 5500 kcal thermal coal recorded at 646 yuan per ton as of July 28 [7]. Group 3: Future Outlook and Challenges - The Deputy Director of the Electricity Department of the National Energy Administration, Liu Mingyang, anticipates that high-temperature weather will continue into early August, which may increase pressure on electricity supply if extreme weather conditions persist [5]. - Although the overall national electricity supply is secure, there are tight supply conditions during peak hours in some provinces in East China, Central China, and Southern regions, which can be managed through relevant measures [5]. Group 4: Coal Production Management - The National Energy Administration emphasizes the importance of ensuring coal production and supply, conducting inspections in key coal-producing provinces such as Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang to ensure compliance with production capacity regulations [9].
