Drought-induced demand for electricity in southwestern China--multi-channel disaster relief

⊙ journalist Zhang 0 editor Ranchi The continuing drought has led to a rising demand for electricity in the southwest. On 29th, the SASAC drought relief work news, the Southern power grid and the national power group said that the drought led to a decrease in hydropower in the southwest, while the thermal power generation, although there is an increase, but the southwest still exists electricity gap, for this reason, the Southern power grid and other power central enterprises will continue to reduce　　Reduce the power gap in the area.　　According to the calculation, because of drought resistance, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi provinces to the southern power grid to increase electricity load 1 Million-kilowatt, March Power dual-Lack, the largest power gap of more than 5 Million-kilowatt. In response to the water and electricity reduction situation, power generation enterprises have increased thermal capacity, coal demand has also climbed.　　Zhang Mianrong revealed that, so far, the southern power grid full network of coal can only be used for 15 days, less than 5 days earlier than the beginning, especially in Guizhou, coal storage can be only 10 days, than the end of January down 60%, Guizhou also because of the lack of coal shutdown 2.1 Million-kilowatt. Under the above difficulties, the Southern power grid protects the power supply in the southwest by various means. One is to reduce Yunnan, Guizhou external power supply, increase the network outsourcing electricity, in the annual plan, the Southern power grid to reduce Yunnan 1-3 months out of 2.3 billion-kilowatt, to reduce the amount of electricity in Guizhou 1.34 billion kwh, to increase the number of power generation network 80.9 million kilowatts, electricity 300 million-kilowatt. The second is to adjust power plant and transmission and transformation overhaul plan, increase power supply capacity more than 1.04 million-kilowatt. Third, to strive for thermal power units full hair, increase the power output in Yunnan 1 Million-kilowatt, Guizhou 1.5 Million-kilowatt.
