Following two consecutive emergency video conferences on power supply guarantee work held on August 11 and 14, on August 15, Sichuan once again held a power supply guarantee and scheduling meeting.
The reporter learned from the meeting that at present, the province's electricity supply and demand situation has changed from a "shortage" of electricity during the peak period in July to a severe situation of "double shortages" of electricity throughout the day. It is expected that the province's largest electricity load will be higher than the same period last year. With an increase of 25%, it can be said that the power supply has entered the most severe and extreme moment.
At present, Sichuan has launched three-level power supply control measures to ensure electricity for people's livelihood.
Three "most" superposition, short-term power supply and demand are extremely tight
The relevant person in charge of the State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Company introduced that since July, Sichuan has encountered a wide range of long-term extreme high temperature and dry weather, the power load has repeatedly hit new highs, and the power supply situation in the province is extremely tight. It has won the first round of "tough battle" to ensure high-temperature power supply since the peak summer.
However, starting from August 7, Sichuan has ushered in severe high temperature and drought catastrophic weather, which is expected to continue for about a week, facing the highest extreme high temperature in the same period in history, the least precipitation in the same period in history, and the highest power load in the same period in history. The most "superimposed situation.
From a national perspective, all power channels into Sichuan are currently running at full capacity, and it is more difficult to organize power support outside the province; from a provincial perspective, this round of extreme weather, high temperature, drought, and extreme disasters has caused serious disasters in 15 cities (prefectures) in the province. In July, the inflow of hydropower was 40% dry, and since August it has been dry by 50%. The daily power generation of hydropower has dropped significantly, and the power supply support capacity has dropped sharply. From the perspective of supply and demand, the continuous high temperature has led to a surge in cooling load, superimposed hydropower inflow is seriously dry, and electricity The supply and demand situation is extremely tight.
Three-level regulation, industrial enterprises use electricity in an orderly manner to give electricity to the people
In response to the new situation of power supply guarantee in this round of high temperature weather, the Provincial Department of Economics and Information Technology, State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Company and other departments (units) have launched three-level power supply control measures to ensure power supply for people's livelihood.
The first step is to initiate active peak staggering measures. For power users who actively participate in and effectively implement active peak staggering and load response, State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Company will refund their response fees when settling electricity bills.
The second step is to urgently formulate the "Sichuan Province Implementation Plan for Suspension of Production in Some High-energy-Load Industries in 2022 During the Peak Summer Season to Conserve Electricity for the People" in response to the emergency situation where the power supply gap is gradually increasing. High-capacity enterprises have implemented emergency regulation of shutting down production to allow electricity to be used by the people, ceding about 7 million kilowatts of electricity load, and making every effort to alleviate the power supply gap.
In the third step, on the evening of August 14, the province's emergency meeting on power supply guarantees decided to implement the "Emergency Notice on Expanding the Scope of Industrial Enterprises to Provide Electricity to the People", requiring all localities to immediately notify enterprises to make production adjustments to ensure security load usage Electricity.
Next, in response to possible extreme situations, relevant departments will further formulate contingency plans to keep the bottom line of ensuring safety, people's livelihood, and key priorities.
Taking multiple measures simultaneously, every kilowatt-hour of electricity is hard-won
At present, the whole province is making every effort to maintain the basics of people's livelihood and fight a "tough battle" to protect electricity.
Ensure maximum utilization of power generation resources—rolling optimization of various power generation plans, government-enterprise collaboration to promote coal storage in thermal power plants. As of August 13, the entire network has stored 2.15 million tons of coal, a year-on-year increase of 1.45 million tons and an increase of more than two times. The thermal power is stable and full.
Strive to strive for power support outside the province - actively strive for emergency power support from the National Development and Reform Commission and State Grid Corporation of China, and implement cross-provincial and cross-regional support according to the maximum transmission channel capacity. All cross-provincial and cross-regional channels in Sichuan have been maximized. Increase the scale of hydropower retention in Sichuan, and significantly reduce the annual power transmission plan in Sichuan's low valley.
Establish a daily consultation mechanism for power supply guarantee - the Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology and the State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Company conduct daily consultations to analyze and analyze the power supply and demand situation, study institutional countermeasures, maximize the use of resources from all parties, and strive to seek protection. The optimal solution for power grid security, electricity consumption for people's livelihood, and industrial economic development.
At present, more than 25,000 power repair personnel are on standby 24 hours a day. In the event of a sudden failure, "restore power first and then repair it", 940 party member service teams, party member commando teams, and more than 18,000 party members are fighting to protect the front line of electricity.
This power supply guarantee and dispatch meeting emphasized that under extreme high temperature weather, every kilowatt-hour of electricity is hard-earned, requiring localities to suspend non-essential electricity demand such as landscape lighting, and calling on the whole society to save electricity, use electricity scientifically, and live a low-carbon life. Overcome the difficulties together and make concerted efforts to win the "tough battle" to ensure the power supply in this round of extreme high temperature weather.
