全国用电负荷连创历史新高，国家能源局四招保供

Core Viewpoint - The National Energy Administration has implemented detailed measures to ensure gas supply for rural "coal-to-gas" projects during the winter season, addressing the dual pressures of cold weather and increased energy demand during the upcoming Spring Festival [1][2]. Group 1: Energy Supply and Demand - Since January, multiple cold waves have led to record-breaking electricity loads across various regions, with the highest load reaching 1.433 billion kilowatts on January 21 [1]. - The overall temperature this winter is close to the historical average, but frequent temperature fluctuations have resulted in significant energy supply challenges [1]. - The National Energy Administration has reported that coal production remains high, with coal inventories at 220 million tons as of January 27, sufficient for 26 days of use [2]. Group 2: Supply Assurance Measures - The National Energy Administration has proposed four key supply assurance measures, including tailored strategies for each province, enhanced monitoring of weather and demand, safety inspections for major users, and strengthened regulation of residential electricity and market operations [2]. - The oil and gas sectors are also stable, with refined oil production expected to decrease by 2.4% to 414 million tons in 2025, while consumption is projected to decline by 2.9% to 378 million tons [2]. Group 3: Natural Gas Supply - As of January 27, the cumulative natural gas consumption for the heating season reached 119.52 billion cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 4.6%, with stable operations in domestic and imported gas supplies [3]. - The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration have initiated a daily reporting system and weekly meetings to ensure gas supply for rural areas and coordinate gas and electricity supply [3].
