The State Grid said it would fully supply electricity to the Sichuan and Chongqing regions. What impact has the local drought had?

The local drought mainly caused high temperatures and crop water shortages. Due to the high temperature, air conditioning must be turned on indoors and electricity consumption increased. Some industrial and commercial power supplies had to be stopped. Some office buildings and The mall is also under power outage. Not only that, since the hot weather, there have been many cases of heat stroke and heat stroke among outdoor workers, which has seriously affected the lives of local people. This high-temperature weather is very rare. Mountain fires also occurred in Chongqing on August 17.

Drought and high-temperature weather usually come at the same time. Whether the high temperature caused the drought or the drought caused the high temperature is a very important question. It is difficult to determine, but once such extreme weather occurs, it will be followed by wildfires. We very much hope that this wildfire will not cause casualties. Chongqing has always been known as a hot pot, but this time Chengdu and other districts and counties in Sichuan have also caught up with the temperature in Chongqing. It has not rained for a long time, so it is very necessary to prevent wildfires. Sichuan was originally a major power generation province, but this time it did not have enough power for its own use.

In previous years, most of the electricity generated by Sichuan was provided to other cities for use, and the energy for power generation was water. Today's drought has a great impact on hydropower. Power generation will also have a certain impact, but external power transmission will not stop. Coupled with the increased demand for air conditioning, Sichuan's electricity is now in short supply. When one side is in trouble, support comes from all sides, and relevant departments are also coordinating power support. This makes the people of Sichuan and Chongqing feel very heart-warming. In the case of insufficient power, priority is given to ensuring civilian electricity supply

In the past, subways, light rails and shopping malls in Chengdu and Chongqing were brightly lit and air-conditioned. Nowadays, most lights and air-conditioning have been turned off. The temperature has also been raised accordingly, and some shopping malls have even lost power, which has also caused great losses to merchants. Some factories have also taken the lead to set an example and directly stopped production during the holidays. These measures will definitely affect the interests of some people, but they are also a last resort under such circumstances.

Summary

This year’s high temperature weather is really abnormal, and it also makes people realize how small and helpless they are in front of nature. People cannot bear the consequences of global warming. Therefore, it is very necessary to take good care of the earth. After this tight electricity use, more people can understand that electricity is very precious, and they must develop a good habit of saving electricity in the future.
