On July 10, the country's electricity consumption reached a record high for the first time this year, reaching 1,518 million kilowatts, up more than 150 million kilowatts from the beginning of July, which is equivalent to an increase in Japan's electricity consumption load. Since this year, electricity demand across the country has maintained a vigorous growth trend. In 4 regions, including North China, Northeast China, Northwest China, and South China, the electricity consumption load in 16 provinces including Guangdong, Hainan, Ningxia, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Fujian reached a record high 59 times. Currently, the national energy and electricity supply and demand situation is generally stable, and there is no demand response or orderly electricity consumption in any region. Economic development is the fundamental reason for the increase in electricity use. From January to May of this year, the total electricity consumption of the entire society reached 4.2 trillion kilowatt-hours, an increase of 5.7% over the previous year. On a monthly basis, it grew by 3.5% in March, 6.0% in April, and about 6.9% in May, showing a clear trend of accelerating growth. By industry, electricity consumption in the secondary sector reached 2.73 trillion kilowatts, an increase of 5.1% over the previous year. Among them, the growth rate of electricity consumption in the high-tech and equipment manufacturing industry reached 9.7%, which is fully reflected in the continuous strengthening of China's economic development resilience and endogenous momentum under the influence of factors such as “two new” policies and industrial structural transformation. Electricity consumption in the tertiary sector was 805.5 billion kilowatt-hours, an increase of 8.6% over the previous year. Among them, the electricity consumption growth rates of the charging and switching service industry and Internet data services reached 56.8% and 44.6% respectively, which intuitively reflects the strong development vitality of China's digital economy and the two emerging tracks of green and low carbon. Hot weather is a direct factor in increasing the load. Since the beginning of July, due to subtropical high pressure rising northward, the average temperature in most parts of the country has been 0.5-1℃ higher during the same period of the year. The high temperature situation in the northwest region is particularly prominent. Combined with recent blooming in the southern region, the cooling load of air conditioning has been concentrated, and the country's electricity consumption load has risen rapidly. According to estimates, every 1℃ increase in the average temperature in the country this summer will drive the electricity consumption load to rise by 40 to 50 million kilowatts, and continuous high temperatures will further increase electricity demand. The National Energy Administration has now entered a critical period of electricity insurance and supply in Duxia. The National Energy Administration will work with relevant parties to aim for a flexible normal supply, measures for short periods of time, and plans to deal with extreme situations, to consolidate the main responsibility for insurance and supply, strictly abide by the bottom line of electricity consumption for people's livelihood, and make every effort to guarantee economic and social development and people's domestic electricity needs.
