Electricity Load Continues To Refresh, With Trillion Dollar Investment Helping To Ensure Supply
Recently, under the continuous high temperature weather, the power load has repeatedly broken historical records, and over one trillion yuan of energy investment has provided important guarantees for this year's peak summer season. In addition to ensuring the supply of coal, increasing the construction of power sources and key projects in the power grid, China has also unlocked new tools such as increasing energy storage and regulation capabilities. Investment in new energy formats continues to expand, further promoting the adjustment and optimization of the energy supply structure.
According to data from the National Climate Center, the average temperature in July was the highest in the same period since 1961, with many southern regions experiencing over 20 consecutive days of high temperatures. According to the forecast, temperatures in most parts of China will be higher than usual in August, and there will be two major high-temperature processes in the next two weeks.
At the same time, a number of key projects supporting regulatory power sources and power grids are accelerating construction, further consolidating the foundation for ensuring energy supply during peak summer season.
Huanxian County, Gansu Province, China's first multi energy complementary comprehensive energy base with a capacity of tens of millions of kilowatts, and the second batch of 2.7725 million kilowatt new energy projects supporting the "Long Power into Shandong" initiative - Huaneng Longdong Energy Base - have officially started construction; A number of key power supply projects for peak summer power supply have been put into operation in Inner Mongolia, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi and other places; In the load center area of the eastern and central regions, a number of key power grid projects for ensuring power supply during peak summer season have been completed and put into operation... Since the beginning of this year, investment in key energy projects in China has maintained rapid growth, with completed investment exceeding 1.2 trillion yuan in the first half of the year, a year-on-year increase of 17.7%. Among them, investments in solar power generation and onshore wind power continue to maintain double-digit growth, with a total investment of approximately 430 billion yuan; Distributed photovoltaic investment increased by 76.2% year-on-year; The growth rate of pumped storage investment increased by 30.4 percentage points compared to the same period last year.
In addition to these "routine actions", this year's power supply guarantee has also accelerated the construction of new energy storage, and the power regulation capacity has been continuously improved.
