National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC)： The installed capacity of power generation in China has grown steadily, and the coal storage of unified dispatching power plants has reached a record

Cctv newsOn June 16th, at the press conference of the National Development and Reform Commission in June, some media asked: This year, the demand for electricity in China has grown steadily and rapidly, especially in the recent summer when the peak of electricity consumption is coming. What is the preparation for the peak of electricity in summer? What measures will the National Development and Reform Commission take to ensure the smooth operation of electricity this summer?

In this regard, Meng Wei, spokesperson of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that since the beginning of this year, the National Development and Reform Commission has focused on the safe and stable supply of energy and electricity, and continued to strengthen the construction of an energy production, supply, storage and sales system. Judging from the current situation, the installed capacity of power generation in China has continued to grow steadily, and the coal storage of power plants has reached a record high of 187 million tons, which has a solid foundation for ensuring power supply during the peak summer this year.

On June 14th, the National Development and Reform Commission held a video conference to specially deploy the national energy peak summer work in 2023. In the next step, we will give full play to the role of the inter-ministerial coordination mechanism of coal, electricity, oil and gas transportation support, compact the main responsibility of local and enterprise energy supply, and focus on five aspects.

First, promote the construction of various power projects. Adhere to the "national chess game", systematically plan and promote the construction of various power sources such as supporting power sources and new energy sources, strengthen the construction of power grids, and do a good job of connecting power to the grid to ensure that all inputs should be made before the peak summer this year.

The second is to strengthen fuel supply security. We will continue to organize the production and supply of coal and natural gas, and urge all localities and power generation enterprises to keep the coal stored in power plants at a high level, so as to ensure the high calorific value coal, gas, electricity and hydropower energy storage required for peak power generation.

The third is to promote all kinds of generator sets to be fully developed. Ensure that the output level of thermal power during peak hours is better than normal, optimize the operation of reservoir groups, improve the peak power generation capacity of hydropower, and promote the multi-use of wind power, solar power and nuclear power.

Fourth, do a good job in optimal dispatching of national power grid operation. Give full play to the advantages of large power grid resource allocation, strengthen national overall planning, strengthen cross-network mutual assistance, make full use of inter-provincial and inter-regional transmission channels, and do a good job in power supply guarantee in key areas and important time periods.

Fifth, do a good job in power demand side management. Adhere to both open source and throttling, guide local governments to better play the role of economic means to adjust, actively guide users to independently optimize and adjust power demand, promote the balance between power supply and demand, and effectively ensure the safety and stability of people’s livelihood and key power consumption.
