The strongest high temperature hit this year, hitting 40°C in many places.
Summer is the traditional peak season for electricity consumption, and every year to prepare for the peak summer, this year's summer supply guarantee is very different.
In the context of sharp fluctuations in commodity prices, especially the sharp rise in energy prices, imported inflationary pressures have increased significantly.
The peak of electricity consumption is approaching, what is the situation of domestic energy supply and demand?
Recently, a number of important meetings have released positive signals.
The National Development and Reform Commission stated at a press conference on June 16 that from the current situation, the installed capacity of power generation in the country is sufficient; as the water inflow from major river basins is better than expected, the amount of water that can be generated by key hydropower plants has increased significantly year-on-year; Coal storage is at a historically high level, therefore, it has a solid foundation to do a good job in guaranteeing electricity during the peak summer season this year.
According to the National Development and Reform Commission, the next step will be to give full play to the role of the inter-ministerial coordination mechanism for coal, electricity, oil and gas transportation, further consolidate the main responsibility of local and enterprise energy supply, and make every effort to ensure the safe and stable supply of electricity during peak summer.
Including: taking multiple measures to increase coal production and supply, paying close attention to the signing and performance of medium and long-term thermal coal contracts, concentrating resources to ensure thermal coal supply and natural gas supply for peak power generation; Large-scale cross-regional and cross-province mutual assistance between surplus and shortage; encourage market-oriented demand response to reduce peak power gaps, urge localities to refine and improve emergency supply guarantee plans in various situations, and carry out actual combat emergency drills in advance to be prepared and ensure extreme conditions. People's livelihood and key energy consumption will not be affected.
The day before, Fu Linghui, a spokesman for the National Bureau of Statistics and director of the National Economic Comprehensive Statistics Department, said that since the beginning of this year, affected by changes in the international situation, global energy prices have risen sharply.
Despite the increasing external pressure, domestic efforts to ensure supply and stabilize prices have continued to increase, and energy supply is basically stable.
Fu Linghui said that from the perspective of energy consumption structure, oil and natural gas have a certain degree of external dependence, but the main body of my country's energy consumption is still coal.
Domestic coal reserves are relatively abundant and production capacity is relatively stable.
Since the beginning of this year, coal production has maintained rapid growth.
Raw coal production rose by more than 10% in May, and coal price increases have also eased.
At the same time, positive progress has also been made in the diversification of energy imports.
"In particular, we must see that the current domestic new energy development maintains a relatively rapid momentum, and clean energy power generation achieved double-digit growth in May, which is conducive to ensuring the stability of energy prices. In general, despite the impact of international factors, some energy products The price has risen, but the increase is significantly lower than the international level, and there are still good conditions for energy supply and stable prices." Fu Linghui said.
According to statistics from The Paper, of the 17 State Council executive meetings held since the beginning of this year, 8 of them mentioned ensuring stable power supply or energy security.
According to CCTV News Network, on June 15, the video and telephone conference on energy supply security during the peak summer season required: power security and supply is the focus of current economic work, and coal is the "ballast stone" of my country's energy security.
It is necessary to coordinate development and safety, actively respond to the prominent contradictions in the current energy supply, and give full play to the role of coal as a guarantee to ensure the safety of electricity consumption this year.
It is necessary to grasp the two keys of "maintaining quantity" and "stabilizing prices", take multiple measures to establish a control mechanism for thermal coal, build a "firewall" that can effectively resist external influences, and do a solid job of ensuring energy supply during peak summer.
According to the previous forecast of the China Electricity Council, during the peak summer season this year, the national electricity supply and demand will be generally balanced, and the electricity supply and demand will be tight during the peak period of electricity consumption.
Among them, the power supply and demand in the Northeast and Northwest regions are basically balanced; the power supply and demand in the South, East China, Central China, and North China regions are tight during peak hours.
Many provinces have made arrangements in advance to provide a guarantee for the stable supply of electricity during the peak summer season.
On April 11, Luo Qiang, vice governor of Sichuan, presided over a special meeting on the coordination mechanism of the province's electricity, coal, and electricity supply guaranteeing the peak summer season.
The meeting proposed that it is necessary to give full play to the resource advantages of the large hydropower province, strengthen the monitoring of incoming water, optimize the operation and scheduling of hydropower units, and promote more hydropower output; strengthen cooperation with other provinces to strive for more electricity retained in Sichuan and purchased electricity; stabilize coal production in the province , continue to do a good job in the outsourcing of electricity and coal related to large coal sources, and coordinately solve the problems of coal purchasing channels and coal source dislocation; focus on the long-term, strengthen the construction of UHV and other transmission channels, promote the approval and construction of gas and power projects in an orderly manner, and promote storage and storage. Speed up the construction of coal bases.
In late April this year, Zhou Haibing, Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Hunan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, presided over a special meeting to analyze the electricity supply and demand situation during the peak summer season this year.
The meeting pointed out that the province's electricity supply and demand in the peak summer this year is generally in a "tight balance" state. In addition to coordinating internal stabilization of supply and external potential tapping, it is necessary to increase reform and innovation, and use price control methods to further deepen electricity market transactions. Reform to ensure orderly and effective peak-shifting and peak-avoiding electricity consumption.
At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the guarantee measures for the bottom line, further strengthen the demand-side response management, improve the orderly electricity consumption plan, and guide the whole society to use electricity scientifically, economically and orderly.
Meng Gang, Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission, said at the press conference on the province's "Package Policy and Measures to Stabilize the Economy" on May 31 that since the beginning of this year, affected by the international situation, supply and demand relations, etc., the amount of energy resources has been tight and prices are high. The provincial energy supply and stable price are under great pressure, and it is estimated that the biggest shortage of electricity during the peak summer season will reach 6.5-7.5 million kilowatts.
To this end, Zhejiang has formulated a key plan to ensure power supply. It will increase the peak guarantee capacity of 9.5 million kilowatts through the coordinated efforts of both supply and demand sides to balance the power gap during the peak summer period, ensure the safe and stable operation of the power grid, and ensure the production and life of residents and enterprises. Reliable power supply, never power outage.
Guidance and urge enterprises to sign annual contracts for thermal coal and natural gas as soon as possible, consolidate the main responsibility of local cities for fuel supply, and ensure that the province's thermal coal inventory will increase to more than 5.5 million tons by the end of June.
In addition, further standardize the order of electricity market transactions, strengthen the supervision of electricity sales companies, coordinate upstream resource parties, and stabilize energy prices.
Anhui and Zhejiang will strengthen inter-provincial cooperation.
The Anhui Provincial Development and Reform Commission announced on June 9 that during the peak summer season this year, there was a large gap in the power supply of Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province, but the largest power load in Anhui often occurred at night, and the largest power load in Zhejiang Province often occurred during the day. , the difference in the time period of the maximum load in the two provinces determines that there is a basis for mutual assistance between surplus and shortage of electricity.
The 2022 peak summer power exchange mutual aid agreement signed by the two provinces stipulates that during the peak summer period this year, power will be transmitted from Anhui Province to Zhejiang Province at 7:00-8:30 and 15:30-17:30, 19:00 00—22:30 Power transmission from Zhejiang Province to Anhui Province.
On June 15, Jiangsu deployed to promote energy supply guarantee during peak summer.
The governor of the province, Xu Kunlin, emphasized at the meeting that every effort should be made to raise resources, strengthen communication with relevant state departments, key energy companies, and major energy provinces, purchase resources through various channels and methods, increase inventories, and help coordinate solutions for energy companies. Difficult issues in transportation, financing, customs clearance, working capital, etc., to ensure stable and orderly supply of coal, electricity and gas.
It is necessary to strengthen scientific and precise scheduling, improve the dynamic monitoring mechanism, optimize the operation mode of the power grid, ensure stable power supply, and resolutely put an end to power outages.
