The supply of water and electricity has been greatly reduced, and the power load has increased more than expected. Sichuan cooperates to protect the bottom line of people's livelihood
Let electricity be used by the people, and enterprises will endure the test of "peak avoidance"
Our reporter Li Na
Sichuan has encountered extreme high temperature weather once in 60 years, the grid load remains high, and the power supply and demand are tense. Local enterprises face the high temperature "baking test", and take various measures such as suspending production to allow electricity, reducing landscape lighting, and optimizing electrical equipment. Reduce overall electricity demand.
With the improvement of the power supply situation, enterprises are gradually returning to normal electricity consumption mode.
On August 28, the reporter learned from State Grid Sichuan Electric Power that with the drop in temperature, rainfall in many places in Sichuan Province has eased the shortage of electricity in the province.
As of 12:00 noon that day, the province's general industrial and commercial power consumption has been fully restored, except for high-capacity enterprises, large-scale industrial power consumption is gradually recovering.
This good news has also relieved the nerves of local companies that have been tense for more than a month.
Since July this year, Sichuan has encountered extreme high temperature weather once in 60 years. In order to ensure the safety of the power grid and protect people's livelihood and electricity use, industrial production in the province (except Panzhihua and Liangshan) has pressed the "pause button" and faced the high temperature "baking test". .
The five pillar industries of Sichuan Province are electronic information, equipment manufacturing, food and beverage, advanced materials and energy and chemical industry. How will this power cut affect related industries?
After letting electricity go to the people, can the enterprise withstand the severe production and operation pressure?
As a major province of hydropower, how can Sichuan survive the peak electricity consumption smoothly?
This has become a matter of concern to the outside world.
Water and electricity supply drastically reduced
Sichuan, the "province of a thousand rivers", is China's largest clean energy base. The installed hydropower capacity exceeds 4 Three Gorges Hydropower Stations. For every 100 kWh of hydropower in the country, 28 kWh of hydropower comes from here.
Based on the unique advantages of hydropower, the installed capacity of hydropower in Sichuan accounts for nearly 80% of the installed capacity of power generation in the province.
Just a few years ago, curtailment of electricity during the peak season of hydropower was still a headache.
However, this year, the province experienced a high temperature and sweltering weather that has never been seen since the meteorological records began in 1961. Along with drought and little rainfall, the inflow of water from various river basins is more than 50% dry compared with the same period of previous years, and the hydropower generation capacity has dropped sharply.
On the other hand, the continuous high temperature and summer heat have brought about a sharp increase in residential electricity demand.
On the one hand, the supply of water and electricity has been greatly reduced, and on the other hand, there has been an unexpected increase in power load, which has led to the inability to alleviate the gap between power supply and demand.
On June 23, the Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology issued the "Notice on Issues Concerning Sichuan Power Grid's Trial Implementation of the Policies for Actively Staggering and Avoiding Peak Loads," urging enterprises to take the initiative to stagger and avoid peak loads in the form of "subsidy incentives". Electricity use, that is, during the peak hours when residents use air conditioners, "give up" electricity to ordinary people. This is the first time Sichuan has launched a policy of actively staggering and avoiding peak load electricity prices.
Relevant statistics show that from July 6th to 16th alone, 1,987 enterprises in the province responded to actively staggering and avoiding peak power consumption. The maximum execution load in a single day reached 2.735 million kilowatts, which can supply more than 2 million units of 1.5 hp (about 1300 watts). ) the air conditioner operates simultaneously.
However, the power shortage situation is far more severe than imagined.
In August, in the more than ten days that many places in Sichuan continued to issue high temperature red warnings, the highest load of electricity demand jumped to 65 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 25%.
On August 14, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Economics and Information Technology and the State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Company jointly issued the "Urgent Notice on Expanding the Scope of Industrial Enterprises to Provide Electricity to the People", proposing that from August 15 on 19 cities (prefectures) in Panzhihua and Liangshan have expanded the scope of industrial enterprises to give electricity to the people, and implemented full production shutdown (except for security loads) for all industrial power users (including whitelisted key guarantee enterprises) in the orderly electricity consumption plan of Sichuan Power Grid ), and asked all localities to immediately notify enterprises to make production adjustments and implement them quickly.
On August 21, the province launched the first-level emergency response to emergency energy supply guarantee for the first time.
According to the principle of first central, then local, first important, then general, first safety, then production, first living, then production, energy supply guarantee is carried out, and the four aspects of power dispatching, refined oil dispatching, natural gas dispatching, and coal production dispatching are respectively propose countermeasures.
Let electricity be used for general mobilization of private enterprises
From staggering and avoiding peak power consumption to complete production shutdown, the impact is inevitable for local enterprises.
However, in the face of the three “most” situation of the highest temperature, the lowest precipitation and the highest load value of electricity in the same period in history, local enterprises began to take various measures such as suspending production and letting electricity, reducing landscape lighting, and optimizing electrical equipment to reduce overall electricity consumption. need.
"Extremely high temperature has made the electricity consumption situation extremely difficult this year, and enterprises are resolutely cooperating to protect people's livelihood and use electricity." During the shutdown period, Neijiang Jinhong Crankshaft Co., Ltd. not only voluntarily stopped production and ceded electricity, but also took the lead in jointly issuing a statement with representatives of 20 industrial enterprises in the city. Proposal for "Suspension of Power to Embody Corporate Social Responsibility".
In Yibin, at least 445 companies took the initiative to press the "pause button".
Only Huafu Shuangsan Cement Plant in Xunchang Town, Gongxian County, Yibin, can save 32,000 kWh of electricity every day after the production line is shut down.
Chengdu City vigorously advocates the concept of saving electricity to the whole society.
Enterprises have adjusted their production shifts one after another, and large supermarkets in the city have actively responded to the call, taking measures such as reducing lighting intensity, turning off advertising light boxes, turning off air conditioners and some elevators, and reducing the use of high-power electrical appliances. .
"Every kilowatt-hour of electricity in Sichuan is hard-earned nowadays. We should work together to get through this scorching summer." The person in charge of COFCO Coca-Cola Beverage (Sichuan) Co., Ltd. said that in order to minimize losses, after the company's production line was shut down, 50 tons of The raw materials of the pulp were transferred to Hunan and Hubei for production, giving up 7,000 kilowatts of power load for Sichuan.
The reporter learned in the interview that starting self-provided generator sets, off-site backup, rushing to work after power restoration, and starting annual equipment maintenance have become the main response measures of the company.
Taking multiple measures to help resume work and production
"After the follow-up hydropower inflow continues to improve, all large industries will resume normal power consumption." According to the relevant person in charge of State Grid Sichuan Electric Power, on August 28, the daily power generation capacity of Sichuan hydropower was 460 million kWh, which was the lowest value in the previous period. It has rebounded by 9.5%, but due to factors such as insufficient rainfall, the current hydropower generation capacity in the province is still at a low level, and it will take some time to return to normal.
However, as the power supply situation has improved, the focus of the power sector has shifted to restoring normal power consumption patterns for commercial and industrial users.
In Ziyang, with the advent of the resumption of work by enterprises, power companies have taken active actions to inject "electricity kinetic energy" into the resumption of work and production.
After the resumption of production of Hongxing Erke Co., Ltd. in Anyue County, Ziyang City, 3 fully automatic production lines are running at full capacity, the production capacity of the company has recovered to 90%, and the daily output of various types of shoes is 60,000.
In the face of operating pressure, many industrial parks have also distributed electricity price dividends to enterprises through the "transfer of electricity tariff codes". In Ziyang City alone, 15,000 end customers have applied for "transfer of power supply tariff codes", covering industrial parks and property management companies. , individual merchants, etc.
Nanchong City issued the "Notice on Accelerating the Resumption of Work and Production of Industrial Enterprises", in accordance with the principle of "grading, orderly advancement, early recovery, quick recovery, and due recovery, bottom-line thinking, and ensuring safety", according to the principle of saving daily The daily electricity consumption plan is to promote the resumption of work and production in an orderly manner in accordance with the order of provincial and municipal "Gongga Peiyou" enterprises, "whitelist" enterprises in the industrial chain and supply chain, and other industrial enterprises.
At the same time, set up special work classes for cities and counties to provide guidance services and coordination guarantees for the return of enterprise personnel and raw material preparation to help enterprises expand markets and increase orders.
During the period of letting electricity go to the people, the Fertilizer Branch and Compound Fertilizer Co., Ltd. under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Meifeng Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. temporarily stopped production. At present, the electric power personnel have carried out equipment inspection of the company's Mianyang production base, and fully restore the power supply for the next step. prepare.
"We are recalling employees, debugging equipment, and achieving full and stable production as soon as possible, so as to make full use of autumn sowing and autumn planting." The relevant person in charge of the company said.
