The largest thermal power plant in Sichuan is fully powered. What challenges does the continuous extreme high temperature weather bring to power security?

Because of the high temperature, electricity shortage occurred in many places in Sichuan, so the largest thermal power plant in Sichuan began to supply power with all its strength. High temperature weather brings multiple challenges to power supply. First of all, people feel very hot during the day in high temperature weather, but because many places are limiting electricity, it is a luxury to turn on the air conditioner, not to mention that people can't sleep at night, and the use of thermal power generation can't guarantee that the problem will be solved. Secondly, the proportion of thermal power generation in Sichuan province only accounts for about 15%. Recently, the power sector has decided to increase the proportion to 2%. After all, local enterprises can't do production without power support, and enterprise production has a great relationship with economic development. In addition, the application of electricity is closely related to the whole society, and the normal supply of electricity can guarantee people's willingness to go out for consumption. At present, hydropower generation in Sichuan is insufficient, and the power supply guarantee depends on how thermal power generation works.

1. It is impossible to guarantee the electricity consumption of residents in the city

Recently, people in Sichuan have been affected by power cuts. They have been in hot weather since summer, but they can't turn on the air conditioner at will during the day. At night, they can't turn on the air conditioner to sleep because of power cuts. More importantly, all these problems may not be solved immediately even if the thermal power plants in various places are fully powered at present.

2. The production of enterprises is affected

In modern society, the production of enterprises must rely on power supply to ensure the good movement of machines. However, long-term power cuts or even power cuts have caused a large number of factories and enterprises to stop production. On the one hand, this makes it impossible for enterprises to complete production tasks, on the other hand, it has a lasting impact on the whole social and economic development. Recently, Sichuan electric power department has increased the proportion of thermal power generation to about 2%.

3. Only when electricity consumption is guaranteed can it be guaranteed

Regardless of industrial production and residents' daily electricity consumption, from the perspective of social development as a whole. If we want economic development, we must ensure that people are willing to go out for consumption. However, nowadays, hydropower generation is insufficient, and relying solely on thermal power generation may not necessarily solve all the problems. Therefore, thermal power generation has also been under great pressure in the near future.
