Why is Sichuan experiencing widespread power cuts?

Why did Sichuan implement widespread power cuts? The main reason why large-scale power cuts broke out in Sichuan this time is due to extremely dry and hot weather. If you want to cancel the power cuts in Sichuan, you have to wait until the hot weather subsides before resuming.

Sichuan recently released a new It stipulates that the power restriction order will be from 00:00 on August 15 to 24:00 on August 20, cancel the active peak avoidance demand response, and expand industrial enterprises in 19 cities (prefectures) in the province (except Panzhihua and Liangshan) to provide electricity to the people. The scope of implementation is a notice to implement a complete shutdown of production (except for security loads) for all industrial power users (including key whitelisted enterprises) in the orderly power consumption plan of Sichuan Power Grid.

As a result, more than 14 cities in Sichuan have restricted the scope of electricity consumption, including Chengdu, Luzhou, Deyang, Mianyang, Meishan, Yibin, Guang'an, Dazhou, Ya'an, Ba, etc. Many people in the city of Nanchong want to know why there is a high temperature holiday?

Mainly because of the hot weather, the water levels in rivers have dropped, and some have even dried up. No water, so painful. Sichuan is known as the "Province of Thousand Rivers" with extremely rich water resources. It is also located in the transition zone between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plains. There are more than 1,400 large and small rivers in the country, including the Luoxi River Crossing. There are more than a dozen large hydropower stations such as , Xiangjiaba, Jinping, etc., with extremely considerable hydropower generation capacity. Therefore, most of Sichuan's electricity is generated through water, with hydropower accounting for as much as 80%, and only about 15% through thermal power generation. This means that the province's electricity consumption is highly dependent on hydropower. Similarly, if there is less water, the amount of electricity generated will be reduced. reduce. However, there are still so many people who need electricity with little electricity.

And Sichuan is also a major power export province. Data shows the overall flow of energy and electricity across the country, and Sichuan is the first end of the "West-to-East Electricity Transmission" channel. . Its rich hydropower mainly transmits electricity to Chongqing, Hunan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places. Therefore, if Sichuan fails to supply power in accordance with the contract, the impact will be very large. Of course, people can't use it themselves without transporting it. When there is obviously insufficient power, State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Company stated that in accordance with the country's "West-to-East Power Transmission" strategy, large cascade power stations such as Xiangjiaba and Xiluodu in Sichuan will , the state shall make overall arrangements for its matters. This is why Sichuan Electric Power Company issued a power restriction announcement.

But don’t worry, the country will try its best to help us solve the problem, and will find ways to support Sichuan Electric Power and ensure Sichuan’s power supply. I hope that the people of Sichuan will survive this time and that the hot and dry weather will end soon. Under the current circumstances, every kilowatt hour of electricity is hard-earned. Saving electricity is the only thing we can do.
