Zhou Jian, deputy chief engineer of the Sichuan Electric Power Control Center, said that 80% of Sichuan’s electricity supply comes from hydropower. This year, Sichuan Province suffered a rare high temperature and drought disaster in 60 years, which lasted for a long time. The power plant has bottomed out, and the province’s hydropower generation capacity has dropped by more than 50%.
Sichuan has carried out the first wave of power rationing for large enterprises using electricity recently. Since the 14th of this month, as many as 21 listed companies have suspended or reduced production in response, and now it has expanded to commercial electricity.
The power shortage crisis is expanding. Chinese Vice Premier Han Zheng held a relevant response meeting on the 17th, calling for further efforts to ensure energy and power supply, and resolutely prevent “power outages”, but it is obviously unable to stop the crisis.
