Peak electricity supply guaranteed

| 13-May-2005 - Xinhua |
China saw an acute tension between electricity supply and demand last year with some regions even experiencing power-outages and supply restrictions at peak times. With this summer coming, whether China can ensure a secure, stable and reliable power supply has become the focus of both the central government and the whole society.
Shi Yubo, vice chairman of the State Electricity Regulatory Commission, China's electricity watchdog, said Thursday that China will endeavor to meet this year's peak power demand.
Based on overall judgment, electricity will remain in short supply nationwide during the coming summer peak-time, said Shi.
But the whole situation is expected to be better than last year as the shortage of power will be somewhat less acute and conditions of major power grids will improve. The scope and scale of power shut-down and supply restricting will see a decline and the maximum shortfall of power supply during the coming summer peak-time will be around 25 million kilowatts (kw), lower than that of 2004, said Shi.
According to Shi, East China and South China boast the most booming economic regions in the country and still will see a tense power supply this year with the maximum shortfall of power supply predicted to reach 12 million kw and 8 million kw respectively during the coming summer peak-time. The maximum shortfall in North China, Central China and Northwest China will be the least tense of 3 million kw, 1 million kw and 1 million kw respectively. Only the power supply and demand of Northeast China will be basically balanced.
Shi said power generating capacity, economic growth, coal supply and natural conditions such as temperature and precipitation are major factors affecting China's electricity supply and demand situation.
