Prospects for avoiding tight power supply and demand from tomorrow onward Heat stroke prevention as the heat wave continues-Weathernews

2022/06/30 17:01 Weathernews

Since the tight power supply and demand is expected to be avoided, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry announced that it will cancel the power supply and demand tight warning in the Tokyo Electric Power Area at 18:00 on Thursday, 30th.

However, the heat wave will continue tomorrow, July 1st (Friday), so please continue to prevent heat stroke.

Intense heat continues to be wary of heat stroke

We are observing the heat approaching 40 degrees Celsius every day, mainly in eastern Japan, but this situation is expected to continue over the weekend. The expected maximum temperature on July 1st (Friday) tomorrow is 36 ℃ in Tokyo and 38 ℃ in Nagoya, which is a dangerous heat that approaches the human body temperature.

Since it is a time when you are not accustomed to the heat and the risk of heat stroke is high, please use the air conditioner properly, take frequent breaks, and take proper measures to prevent heat stroke by hydration and salt supplementation.

Electricity supply capacity rises Expected to avoid tight supply and demand

Power supply and demand was tight this week due to cooling demand due to rising temperatures and the continued low power generation capacity (supply capacity) in Japan from this year to 2024.

According to the power demand forecast of the Weathernews Energy Forecast Center, demand is expected to be regarding the same as it is tomorrow, but it is expected that the tight supply and demand can be avoided due to the increase in the supply capacity of electric power companies.

According to the power supply and demand forecast of the Energy forecast center of Weathernews, the peak power demand is expected to continue from early followingnoon to around 16:00.

After noon, it seems that there will be a margin in supply and demand due to solar power generation, but since the amount of power that can be supplied will decrease in the evening, the reserve margin will be the smallest during the time period from 15:00 to 18:00.

* Supply capacity on the day may be updated

If the balance between supply and demand of electric power is lost, stable supply of electric power will not be possible, and in the worst case, it will lead to a large-scale power outage. Electric power companies may also carry out rolling blackouts to prevent this.

Continue to save electricity without difficulty

It is forecast that the heat of midsummer will be hot once more following the latter half of July, so it is likely that it will be a summer that cannot be taken care of in terms of electricity supply and demand.

The use of air conditioner is indispensable, so please use it properly. As a guide, adjust the room temperature to regarding 28 ° C.

Please continue to save power within a reasonable range, such as turning off unnecessary lights and turning off unused monitors.

Don’t hesitate to use the cooler

The heat wave might continue this weekend, and the tight electricity supply and demand might continue into Friday.

If you turn off the air conditioner to save electricity, the risk of heat stroke increases, so please do not overdo it and use the air conditioner properly. As a guide, adjust the room temperature to regarding 28 ° C. Please cooperate in other ways to save electricity, such as turning off the power of unused lighting equipment and TV monitors.

In addition, it is expected that this intense heat will subside next week, and it seems that the exit of the intense heat will finally be visible. However, it is forecast that it will be hot in the middle of summer once more following the latter half of July, so it seems that it will be a summer that can not be taken care of.
