今夏不缺电

Core Viewpoint - This summer, China's electricity load has reached a new high, with the total electricity consumption exceeding 1 trillion kilowatt-hours for the first time in July, reaching 10,226 billion kilowatt-hours. Despite the immense pressure on the power grid, there were no power cuts or load shedding this summer. The improvement in power supply, significant increase in installed generation capacity, widespread use of virtual power plants, and stable coal market operations have all strengthened the foundation for electricity supply this summer. However, the energy and electricity security work in China remains a significant challenge, with a focus on transitioning from "using electricity" to "using electricity efficiently" being the next goal for relevant departments and the energy industry [1]. Group 1 - The total electricity consumption in July reached 10,226 billion kilowatt-hours, marking a historic high for a single month [1] - There were no instances of power cuts or load shedding during this summer despite high demand [1] - Factors contributing to the stable electricity supply include improvements in power supply, increased installed generation capacity, the use of virtual power plants, and a stable coal market [1] Group 2 - The energy and electricity security work in China is still a significant challenge [1] - The next goal for relevant departments and the energy industry is to shift focus from merely using electricity to using it more efficiently [1]
