国家能源局：今年我国高用电量常态化特征明显 折射经济强大韧性和活力

Core Viewpoint - China's electricity consumption has reached record levels, with over 1 trillion kilowatt-hours for two consecutive months, indicating strong economic resilience and vitality [1][2]. Group 1: Electricity Consumption Trends - In July and August, China's daily electricity consumption exceeded 30 billion kilowatt-hours for 66 days, an increase of 29 days compared to the previous year, highlighting a normalization of high electricity usage [1]. - The total electricity load across all regional power grids reached new highs during the summer, marking the first time in eight years that this has occurred [1]. - The maximum national load reached 1.506 billion kilowatts on August 21, approaching historical extremes, with a significant increase in the duration of high load periods [1]. Group 2: Response Measures - The National Energy Administration implemented targeted supply measures for nine key regions, including Jiangsu and Zhejiang, to address the challenges posed by peak summer electricity demand [2]. - A total of 17 million kilowatts of supportive power sources were put into operation in the first half of the year, providing a solid foundation for summer supply [2]. - The average output of renewable energy during peak afternoon hours exceeded 500 million kilowatts, supporting approximately 30% of electricity demand [2]. - The large power grid's ability to allocate resources effectively has been enhanced, allowing for better support to regions facing tight supply [2].
