At the end of 2020, many places suddenly began to limit electricity. What is the reason behind it?

Since 65438+February, Hunan, Zhejiang and other places have successively issued notices of "orderly use of electricity", and the "power restriction" that has not been seen for many years has reappeared.

1. Where is the power failure?

It is only a few provinces and cities in the central and eastern regions, not a common phenomenon. Judging from the geographical scope of power cuts, it is mainly a few provinces in the central and eastern regions. From the field of power restriction, although Jiangxi and Hunan have power restriction in the whole province, they are mainly used in life, landscape, street lamps and other fields; In addition to life, landscape, street lamps and other fields, Zhejiang's power rationing also has certain restrictions on enterprises' electricity consumption. Power cuts are mainly in a few provinces and cities in the central and eastern regions, and power cuts are not common.

Second, the reason behind the power outage.

(1) Internal and external needs are superimposed to support industrial strength, and the demand for industrial electricity is increasing.

Repeated overseas epidemics may aggravate the gap between overseas production and demand and increase the demand for China's exports. It is predicted that by the first quarter of 20021,China's exports will remain strong, and industrial production will continue to remain strong in June 5438+February.

(2) The cooling weather intensifies the seasonal demand+the popularity of air conditioning, and the demand for domestic electricity increases.

③ The coal-related anti-corruption campaign in Inner Mongolia in recent 20 years has affected the weakening of coal production in the second half of the year.

④ Australia's coal imports declined, but the overall proportion was low, which had marginal influence but was not an important factor.

⑤ High coal price may also affect the growth of power generation.

⑥ The lack of electricity in Hunan and Zhejiang is also related to the dependence on external electricity.

According to the data of 20 19, the proportion of electricity generation in Zhejiang and Hunan provinces is relatively low, with Zhejiang accounting for 7 1.2% and Hunan accounting for 80.8%, so a large proportion of the demand needs to be met by external input.

⑦ The proportion of hydropower generation in Hunan is relatively high, which further aggravates the shortage of power supply in Hunan.

3. Will residents' electricity consumption be affected?

The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) 17 responded that the rapid growth of industrial production and the superposition of low temperature and cold current led to a higher-than-expected growth rate of power demand. So far, the power supply has remained stable and orderly, and residents' electricity consumption has not been affected. The National Development and Reform Commission, together with relevant departments and enterprises, will take measures to effectively protect the power demand and ensure the overall stable and orderly power supply.

Fourth, the latest response from the National Development and Reform Commission.

The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) also pointed out at the press conference of 2 1 that Zhejiang, which has taken measures to limit electricity, is not short of electricity, but some places in the province have considered the development requirements of "emission reduction".

The superposition of multiple factors reflects that the year-end "power cut" involves multiple agendas and also means long-term structural transformation and development challenges.

At present, nearly 70% of China's electricity comes from fossil fuels, mainly relying on coal. At the Central Economic Work Conference held last weekend, it was mentioned that the peak of carbon dioxide emissions in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060 have been put into one of the eight priorities of 20021,and both goals are quite challenging.

5. As an ordinary resident, how to save electricity?

(a) the rational use of air conditioning, temperature set below 20℃, close the doors and windows, reduce heating leakage, reduce power consumption.

(2) Make full use of natural lighting, do not turn on lighting when the light source is sufficient during the day, and turn off electrical equipment when people are away.
