经济日报丨电力迎峰度夏有保障

Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the measures taken to ensure stable electricity supply during the peak summer demand period, with a focus on increasing power generation capacity and enhancing transmission efficiency [1][4]. Group 1: Enhancing Power Generation Capacity - The highest electricity load during the summer peak is expected to increase by approximately 10 million kilowatts compared to last year [1]. - Coal remains a key energy source, with the Huanghua Port achieving a cumulative coal throughput exceeding 100 million tons by June 23 [3]. - New energy generation capacity has grown significantly, with the Hebei North Clean Energy Base exceeding 80 million kilowatts, accounting for 75.8% of total installed capacity in the region [3]. Group 2: Ensuring Efficient Power Transmission - Jiangsu province has seen a 2.5% year-on-year increase in electricity demand in the first five months, prompting the State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Company to implement 13 key projects to enhance supply capacity [6]. - The State Grid expects the maximum load in its operating area to exceed 1.2 billion kilowatts for the first time this summer, with 140 key projects completed on schedule by the end of June [6]. Group 3: Increasing Flexibility on the Demand Side - The establishment of a virtual power plant in Shandong allows for real-time monitoring and adjustment of power loads, with a total adjustable capacity of 8.225 megawatts [8]. - The introduction of a market-based pricing mechanism in Hubei aims to guide electricity users to consume more during low-price periods and reduce usage during high-price periods, enhancing grid stability [8].
