The Disaster Area Began To Limit The &Nbsp Of Residential Electricity Consumption, And Many Thermal Power Plants Were Idle.

"It starts at 7 a.m., and sometimes calls at 10 p.m."

Wu, who lives in Nanxian, Yiyang, Hunan, told the economic reference daily that the district where her family was recently had frequent power cuts and the daily living was seriously affected.

After the spread of the power shortage to the whole country, the power shortage in Hunan province has spread from industry to residents.

"Economic reference daily" reporter learned in the interview, Changsha, Zhuzhou, Xiangtan, Hengyang, Shaoyang, Yiyang and many other places are or are about to start residents to divide the time to slam the gate to limit electricity, some districts and self-employed households even have their own diesel.

However, as the sluice power is increasing, thermal power capacity in many places is idle and in a state of overhaul.

According to the data obtained by the reporters, the thermal power unit with 14 million 170 thousand kilowatts in Hunan province is currently capable of producing only 7 million kilowatts of units, and quite a part of the thermal power units are in a state of overhaul.

According to other data, over 1200 kilowatts of thermal power units in Henan exceed 50 million kilowatts of thermal power units.

The relevant people of the Electricity Regulatory Commission have said before that the power supply is tight at present, the problem lies in the enthusiasm of the thermal power enterprises.

According to an interview with the economic reference daily, the relevant staff of the Hunan Provincial Commission for information technology said that household electricity consumption is one of the six categories of electricity consumption in principle, and is not only the only one. In addition, there are also emergency command and disposal departments, major social activities sites, hospitals, financial institutions, infrastructure projects and so on. The electricity consumption is also a priority protection. Under the premise of the increasing supply of electricity, the six categories of electricity are hardly available.

When talking about the potential power gap, Liu Tienan, the deputy director of the NDRC and the director of the national energy administration, made it clear that "it is not allowed to limit the living electricity of the residents."

Professor Zhang, assistant to President of North China Electric Power University, told the economic reference daily that if all residents began to limit electricity, they could only show that the supply of electricity has become more intense.

"Every geography should limit electricity to high energy consuming enterprises, and only when the last resort is necessary, residents should be restricted."

The economic reference Daily reporters learned from the State Electricity Regulatory Commission and local power companies that the overall supply and demand of electricity in China is generally tight, and that there are many areas where the load is limited, especially in Central China.

According to the early-warning weekly report of the State Electricity Regulatory Commission, due to the continuous rise in the price of electricity coal, there are many phenomena of coal shutting down: Guizhou (2 million 140 thousand kilowatts), Shaanxi (1 million 255 thousand kilowatts), Henan (1 million 95 thousand kilowatts), Shanxi (900 thousand kilowatts), Hunan (600 thousand kilowatts) and Qinghai (135 thousand kilowatts). (3) the Henan coal mine has been closed.

Reporters learned from the Hunan electric power department that as of May 4th, only 510 thousand tons of coal were stored in the main thermal power plants in Hunan Province, less than four days.

According to the data of the State Electricity Regulatory Commission, there are recently 7 days of coal inventory below Jilin, including 6.9 days in Jilin, 6.7 days in Sichuan, 6.6 days in Qinghai and 5.2 days in Qinghai, all below the minimum coal storage warning line.

In addition to the contradiction between electricity and coal, weather, electricity demand increased sharply, new units were put into production, and some thermal power units were idle.

Taking Hunan as an example, because hydropower accounts for 44.62% of the power structure in Hunan, the abundant water supply has great impact on the power supply of the province.

"A severe drought in the South caused the shortage of hydropower in Hunan, and this is also an important reason for the electricity shortage."

Hunan electric power company personage tells a reporter.

The reasons for power shortage in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Guangdong and other places also include fast growth of electricity demand and fewer new generators.

At the time when the contradiction between electricity and coal is getting more serious, many experts, including Zhang, say that solving the "electricity shortage" is not just a simple coal electricity linkage, but should be grasps at both ends.

"One is electricity price, and the other is to strengthen the supervision of the coal market. With the current rising rate of coal prices, the price of electricity will be out of control."

With the tension of electricity, the trend of power shares in the market has obviously surpassed the market.

In May 10th, the great wisdom power plate index closed at 2508.09 points, an increase of 1.47%, the highest since 2010.

Star power, Xichang electric power limit, Guidong electric power, Minjiang hydropower, Inner Mongolia Huadian and other stocks rose by more than 6%.

Compared to mid April, the electricity sector index rose more than 7%, while the Shanghai Composite Index fell more than 5% during the same period.

Since April, the number of major listed companies in Datang Power, Guodian power, Huaneng International and Shanghai electric power has increased by 26%, 12%, 21% and 40% respectively.
