Core Insights - The National Energy Administration reports that in 2026, the national electricity load during winter reached a new high, surpassing 1.4 billion kilowatts for the first time, peaking at 1.417 billion kilowatts, with daily electricity consumption exceeding 30 billion kilowatt-hours for the first time in winter, indicating a critical period for heating and supply [1][2]. Group 1: Electricity Load Situation - Electricity load has consistently reached new highs, with the maximum load on January 4 hitting 1.351 billion kilowatts, marking a historical winter peak. From January 18, due to a widespread cold wave, the load increased rapidly, adding 150 million kilowatts in just three days, equivalent to Japan's maximum annual load [2]. - On January 19 and 20, the load reached 1.379 billion and 1.4 billion kilowatts respectively, with a peak of 1.417 billion kilowatts. Since the start of winter, 75 historical load peaks have been recorded across various regional power grids [2]. Group 2: Measures to Ensure Stable Power Supply - The National Energy Administration has proactively deployed measures to ensure stable and orderly power supply, addressing challenges such as significant fluctuations in renewable energy output and equipment failures due to severe weather [3]. - Responsibilities for power supply have been clearly defined, with a focus on ensuring safe and reliable electricity supply. The "one province, one policy" approach guides key regions and power companies to implement specific measures for heating and supply [3]. - Safety in production is emphasized, with a commitment to prevent various safety incidents and ensure smooth operations during the year-end and beginning of the year [3]. - Service quality is prioritized, with special attention to electricity safety for essential users such as transportation hubs and large shopping centers, and proactive adjustments to prevent overloads in power distribution [3]. Group 3: Future Actions - The National Energy Administration will continue to guide and supervise local power companies to effectively implement winter heating and supply measures, monitoring electricity supply and demand changes daily to address potential risks and ensure stable power supply [4].
