China's maximum power load may exceed 1.36 TW this year, a further rise from the year-ago level, and some provinces are likely to experience power shortages during peak hours, Liang Changxin, spokesman of the National Energy Administration said on April 12.
In 2021, China's maximum power load was registered at 1.19 TW, a year-on-year increase of 10.8%; it further climbed by 8.4% year on year to reach 1.29 TW in 2022, data showed. The anticipated maximum power load would mark a 5.4% rise from a year ago.
Liang said China's electricity supply will be ensured as a whole this year, yet some provinces are still likely to experience a shortage of electricity during peak period.
The NEA vowed to continue to strengthen overall coordination from five main aspects.
Firstly, do a good job in monitoring, analysis and early warning, in accordance with the "one province, one policy" mode, especially during the peak summer period.
Secondly, increase the construction of supporting power sources and transmission channels.
Thirdly, ensure a sufficient supply of power coal. The authorities will enhance supervision over local governments to accelerate approvals and advance the construction of approved projects. It will also further optimize the construction schedule of coal mines under construction to expedite commissioning and full operation.
Fourthly, make every effort in the steady and full production of power generating units. The NEA will urge power generation companies to make sure stable coal and gas supplies through the signing and fulfillment of medium- and long-term agreements.
Fifthly, scientifically put efforts in power load management and effectively relieve pressure during peak hours with fine-tuned implementation of further optimized orderly power use plans.
