In the face of the severe electricity supply and demand situation, the National Energy Group's electricity marketing system has conducted in-depth analysis of the impact of temperature, precipitation and other factors on electricity supply and demand for the provinces in East China, Central China and Southwest China where the electricity load remains high, and carried out short-cycle markets such as weekly and daily. It is predicted that by strengthening the market coordination between the sending and receiving ends, the medium and long-term electricity contracts between provinces will be strictly implemented.
As of August 20, the National Energy Group has implemented nearly 10 billion kWh of cross-provincial and cross-regional electricity sales in power-deficient provinces, making outstanding contributions to ensuring power supply under extreme weather.
In the process of meeting the peak since July 20, the National Energy Group mobilized the power generation resources in the three north regions, and fulfilled 55 medium and long-term transactions in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Chongqing and other provinces, accumulatively 8.4 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity were sent.

In the face of the severe situation of power protection in Sichuan and Chongqing, the units inside and outside the National Energy Group fulfilled power contracts of 11.5 billion kWh, accounting for 24% of the total electricity consumption in the region, exceeding the installed capacity share by 6 percentage points, giving full play to energy supply and ballast supply. stone effect.
