Power supply and demand have tightened in some parts of China this year. According to the latest analysis by authoritative institutions, the installed capacity of thermal power will be reduced by 25 million kilowatts on average in the next two years compared with the 11th Five-Year Plan. If the scale of new construction does not increase quickly, then it may have a big impact on the next two or three years, and China's power supply and demand situation will remain very severe next year and next year.

     Power supply and demand in some parts of China has been in a tight situation since March last year, and the number of "tight" areas has gradually increased, which has seriously affected the normal operation of the economy and caused widespread concern in the society.

      The relevant person in charge of the itu pointed out that the current situation of power supply and demand is caused by many factors, which have problems in power supply, demand and transmission. Specifically, there are mainly the following reasons: First, the rigid growth of demand. Secondly, the power supply is insufficient, including the high coal price, the insufficient output of thermal power units, by the water pollution in the first half of the year, hydropower capacity decline, wind power is difficult to form an effective supply capacity. Third, demand side management is not in place. For example, some industries with high energy consumption and excess production capacity are not well controlled. Energy and electricity saving measures are not effective, and economic measures are not in place. Finally, there are bottlenecks in the power grid.

　　China's electricity demand has maintained a high growth trend, which will not change for a long time to come, according to experts at THE company. In addition, due to the influence of resources and environment, as well as various factors, the energy supply will not be too abundant in recent years. To this end, experts suggest that society should form an awareness of energy conservation and avoid energy waste. At the same time, we should speed up the construction of power grid and improve the ability of optimal allocation of power resources.

    In particular, the current focus is to solve the problem of thermal coal. The contradiction between market coal and planned electricity has not been solved for many years, which is even more prominent under the current situation. Strengthening demand side management is also a process of long-term accumulation. It is also urgent to strengthen the early warning of power supply and demand and establish the early warning system of power supply and demand.
