power outage, power outage, and power outage... _p14p
In some areas, it was rumored that Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen would also have to cut off the power supply, forcing relevant companies to come out specifically to refute the rumors: they are only doing maintenance as usual, not that the power is going to be cut off.
Even foreign countries are not at peace. In the UK this month, due to the epidemic and Brexit, there was a shortage of electricity, which caused electricity prices in some cities to soar as much as seven times. At the beginning of this year, the U.S. also suffered a severe power outage due to the cold wave, which caused heavy losses. In addition, countries such as France and Japan are also experiencing power shortages this year.
So are everyone in a power shortage situation? I'm afraid that may not be the case. Fan Sir thinks it is too early to draw conclusions. Because of the well-known cause of the new crown epidemic, global prices have risen, and some supplies are still in short supply. But it is clear that no matter how long the epidemic is, it will come to an end, when these extraordinary situations will disappear.
Some experts also believe that the current shortage of electricity in China is caused by the price of coal power .Because power generation companies cannot raise electricity prices, they have no enthusiasm for power generation and lack the funds to buy coal. Now upstream raw materials, logistics, and wages are all rising in price, and coal prices are soaring. For example, on September 28, domestic thermal coal broke the 1,300 yuan mark, an increase of 7.91%, continuing to hit a record high. The closing price on June 25 this year was only about 800 yuan/ton, a 3-month increase of 65.55%.
The so-called "big chess game" theory that the state deliberately does not supply electricity is undesirable, and relevant departments and authoritative media have also refuted this. Fan Sir also feels that the remarks are a bit ridiculous. Is it so cool that the lack of electricity will cause everyone to stop production and work, or even wake up at night?
Because only people are slightly older, you know that power outages and even large-scale power restrictions are not uncommon in China in the past, and even some places have stable power supply. how long.
How long is it? Fan Sir's impression is that in the 1990s, the power supply in the rural area of his hometown was not stable. Often only a few hours a day, the whole village would be cut off when the power supply bureau made a call. However, the folks at that time were also poor enough. Apart from the electric lights, the electrical appliances that needed to be powered at home were often only a TV set. Flashlights and radios could be powered by batteries. It was inconvenient to have no electric lights for dinner at night. Candle. As for the hot weather without air conditioning? No one can afford an air conditioner at all. An electric fan would be nice. If there is no electricity, just sleep outside and use a hand-cranked fan!
and many years later,When Fan Sir asked about the reason for the old power outage at the time, his grandpa said it was simple: there were only small power stations in the county, and the electricity generated was not enough. Moreover, there was no transformer of its own in the village, and it could not be used stably even if the electricity was supplied. Need to be equipped with a regulator . In fact, power shortages across the country were a common phenomenon at the time, otherwise there would be no such grand projects as the Three Gorges Project and the West-to-East Power Transmission Project.
But fortunately, the times are always advancing. In the following years, my hometown has become richer, and appliances such as air conditioners and washing machines have gradually increased. Electricity consumption has increased significantly, and the number of power outages has decreased. It is also rare several times a year. The direct reason is that our province has overhauled hydropower stations, reaching the crazy level that a county can build dozens of hydropower stations at most. Coupled with the increase in coal production and imports, the power generation of thermal power in other places is also increasing. .
Another big blackout that impressed the rice Sir, occurred at the beginning of this century. Specifically, between 2002 and 2004, everyone may be more impressed. I remember that when I was studying in the city, there would be power outages three or four times a week, and evening self-study in the school would not be available. But when Fan Sir went home in the dark, he found that not everyone had no electricity. It turns out that quite a few companies and merchants have purchased the diesel generator in order not to delay their operations. The sidewalks on the road are full of the sound of power generation from this machine, and the streets are full of choking oily smoke, but Fortunately, it finally lights up again at night.
The blackout itself did not last long. Specifically in the urban area of this city, it began to ease after about a year. The direct reason is said to be that the municipal government has applied for the power supply of the Three Gorges Project. Ensure the stable power supply of the city,We also pulled power lines from the West-East Power Transmission Project to us. The benefits of the country’s two major centuries projects have been enjoyed by our city.
As for the cause of the blackout, the newspaper said at the time that after China’s accession to the World Trade Organization, the orders of various foreign trade companies increased significantly, leading to a surge in social investment and an overheated economy. As a result, the power consumption of the whole society has increased sharply in a short period of time, and power grids in some areas are temporarily out of power, so power outages have occurred.
However, fortunately, China’s many years of infrastructure construction at that time were useful. For example, the Three Gorges Project was just completed at this time, and the country has since increased tens of millions of kilowatt-hours of power generation. Hubei and Hunan More than a dozen provinces and cities including Sichuan, Sichuan, Chongqing, and Shanghai have benefited from this. For a long time, there have been few large-scale blackouts and power shortages in the country. The panic of the blackout went through.
Therefore, if there is a power outage again today, it is not an unsolvable problem. Just before this article was published, there have been reports that Shanxi has signed coal supply guarantee contracts with 14 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities including Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Liaoning to fully guarantee the power generation of coal-fired power companies. Since coal-fired power generation in my country accounts for more than 70% of the year, I believe that if The execution of the contract will effectively alleviate the power shortage in some areas.
What's more, with the gradual clearance of the domestic epidemic, Chinese downstream manufacturers have seen a gratifying situation of increasing orders and profit growth. Economists generally believe that China has the conditions and funds to increase the new one. Round infrastructure construction,Has the ability to gradually increase domestic power generation, and can survive this power shortage event as before.
