Impact of drought south of the North freeze electricity load a record high of 8 provinces

 With the Spring Festival approaching, the enterprises gradually holiday in late January there has been rapid decline in the level of the national trend of electricity, electricity supply and demand tension gradually eased. Expected during the Spring Festival, the country's electricity consumption levels have decreased substantially compared with pre-holiday, the current central and northwest power grid there is a shortage of electricity will be temporarily removed, except Tibet, the national power grid company in the region provinces (cities, districts) power supply overall balance.

stakeholders pointed out that the national grid, according to weather forecasters, the late Chinese New Year festival of rain and snow will occur in the eastern part of the process, which could again try for electricity demand, and to adversely affect coal transportation, uncertain factors such as increased electricity supply, safe operation of power grid and power supply still face greater pressure. The first quarter of this year, due to limited production capacity and part load input, coupled with freezing rain and snow weather in the south (higher heating load), most parts of North and Central continuing drought in the northern region (Shanxi, Beijing, Shandong to continue for a long time no effective precipitation, irrigation in spring load will grow more), compared with the national electricity demand growth to rebound in the fourth quarter of last year.
