On the day of the "electricity shortage"

Since the end of last summer, the "electricity shortage" problem has always been seen prominently on the major information sites. It can be seen that the power supply is insufficient and power shortages occur from time to time. Let's first look at what the "electricity shortage" is. It.

Electricity shortage refers to serious power shortage, which usually occurs in summer. There are many reasons for power shortage, such as shortage of coal, insufficient capacity of generator assembly machine, too much downtime of power generation enterprises, lack of water in hydropower stations, and excessive consumption of electricity. . The intermittent blackout caused by electricity shortages will inflict many inconveniences on the lives of the people.

The " electricity shortage" phenomenon is more common in China

According to Li Hongming, director of the External Communications Department and Information Center of Jiangxi Electric Power Company, the demand for electricity in Jiangxi surged in 2011. Compared to previous years, the electricity consumption situation in the summer and winter of 2011 was particularly severe.

According to reports from related departments, in the list of power shortages in 2011, there were not only regular customers such as Zhejiang and Guangdong, but also Hunan, Jiangxi, Henan, Guizhou and Anhui provinces.

From the above reports, we can easily see that China's "electricity shortage" phenomenon is still relatively serious, and the provinces affected by this phenomenon have a wider range of cities.

The "electricity shortage" is still intensifying

According to the Polaris Power Network News Center, the CEC said that this year's power growth rate will slow to 9.5%, and the "electricity shortage" will continue to increase. According to the report of the Hong Kong-Hong Kong Communication, the power shortage may increase, and it is expected that the growth rate of electricity will fall from 11.7% last year to between 8.5% and 10.5%, but the maximum power gap is still expected to reach 30-40 million kilowatts.

From the analysis of the authoritative electric power organization such as CEC, we can see that the intensification of “electricity shortage” will also be a development trend of power supply. When will the “electricity shortage” completely disappear? Personally, I would very much like to ask the relevant authority to give an exact answer. As we all know, the power supply problem is closely related to the daily life of each of us.

Government departments issued the "electricity shortage" response measures

Of course, government departments have also taken some measures to deal with the “electricity shortage”, such as increasing the capacity of generators for coal-fired power generators, power cuts, and tariff increases.

The people’s response

For one of these measures: The rise in electricity prices is probably the most unacceptable to ordinary people because people’s daily life is almost inseparable from the electricity supply. Every day, people use home appliances such as cooker hoods and refrigerators. , kettles, water heaters, TVs, air conditioners, etc. If government departments introduce a policy of rising electricity prices in order to resist the "electricity shortage," this will actually increase the cost of living for the people. In order to reduce the cost of living, in view of the shortage of electricity supply, the minds of the general public have also come straight into the idea of ​​buying the best products for home appliances and saving energy.

When does the "electricity shortage" completely disappear

Looking at the information of major websites, we learned that the “electricity shortage” problem has always been a problem of power supply and has not been properly resolved. Personally, it may be that the government and power supply related departments will take further measures to ease the intensification of the "electricity shortage" phenomenon, but it is fundamental to eliminate the "electricity shortage" and it is estimated that the deadline will be far-off.
