Why is there a large power outage in Sichuan?

Recently, the news of power failure in Sichuan has been frequently searched, which has attracted many people's attention. The large-scale power outage in Sichuan is mainly due to the continuous high temperature weather. In such hot weather, people's electricity consumption will also become very large, and the frequency of using electrical appliances such as air conditioners and refrigerators will also increase significantly. Once too much electricity is used, it is likely to lead to power overload, resulting in power restriction or power outage.

The drought caused by high temperature weather can not be ignored. For example, once the water level drops, the power generation capacity of some power stations that mainly rely on hydropower will naturally be affected. The shortage of power resources, coupled with the very large consumption of electricity by residents, will lead to a large-scale power outage in Sichuan. Bian Xiao believes that only when the hot weather passes and the rainy weather continues, Sichuan electric power will slowly recover. By then, the daily life of residents will not be affected by the power outage.

Electricity is very important to people's daily life, even an indispensable part. Once all kinds of electrical appliances are cut off, they can't work normally. Especially air conditioning, in the summer without air conditioning, it can be said that the days are like years, and the indoor temperature will become very high, which will easily lead to heatstroke. Especially for some elderly people, the heat dissipation function in the body is worse than that of young people. Once they stay in the high temperature environment for a long time, it is likely to do some harm to their health. There are many enterprises and factories, and naturally they are not spared. A power outage means a shutdown. After all, the operation of many machines needs power support, which will cause huge losses to factories and enterprises.

Although Sichuan has taken many energy-saving measures before, such as turning off all outdoor electronic large screens or some lights, it has not alleviated the power crisis. Therefore, in our daily life, we should save electricity for emergencies.
