What is the real reason for national power rationing?

The real reasons for the national power rationing are as follows:

1. In the early stage, carbon neutrality limited production, and then there was a campaign to reduce carbon emissions. In many places, a one-size-fits-all approach led to the closure of coal mines and thermal power plants. Due to high electricity consumption in summer and the failure of new energy power generation to keep up in the short term, the power supply is insufficient. Coupled with coal replenishment in winter, coal is even more scarce. This is the main logic behind power restrictions;

2 , control production capacity;

3. Prevent overcapacity.

Dual control of energy consumption will become the norm in the future. my country has promised to the international community that carbon will peak before 2030 and be carbon neutral before 2060. Carbon neutrality targets will become an important variable in the economy over the longer term. High energy-consuming enterprises must continuously improve their technical level and reduce energy consumption in order to avoid being affected by dual energy consumption controls that affect their production and operations.

If power outages or power restrictions are necessary due to insufficient power supply or other reasons, the local power industry authorities shall implement them in accordance with the requirements of "orderly power consumption management". The power authorities in different places are different. Guangdong Province is in charge of the Industry and Information Technology Department (Industrial and Information Technology Commission), and some provinces and cities are in charge of the Development and Reform Commission and other departments. Specifically, it can also be divided into planned power rationing and emergency power rationing.

Power rationing in orderly power use plans

According to regulations, the formulation of orderly power use plans in various places is guided by the power authorities, and the power grid enterprises follow the annual controls determined by the provincial power authorities. Indicator development. In specific practice, after the plan is formulated by the power grid enterprises in various cities (districted cities), it is reported to the local municipal power authority for approval and release.

For example, the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology released the "2021 Guangzhou Orderly Power Consumption Plan" on May 10, 2021, in accordance with the principles of classified management, selective power supply, ensuring key points, and focusing on efficiency. , arrange power and electricity balance in the order of conscious peak shifting, peak avoidance, power rationing, and forced peak shifting on the line side, give priority to ensuring the electricity consumption of public utilities and other people's livelihood, and use centralized control measures to arrange for users to use peak shifting and peak avoidance. The plan is valid for 1 year and takes effect from the date of release.

Once the power or power shortage reaches a specified proportion, an early warning (divided into four levels) will be issued and an orderly power consumption plan will be initiated. After receiving early warning signals, power grid enterprises in various places must fulfill their legal obligations to notify in advance and notify users in advance through announcements, phone calls, faxes, text messages, etc. There are no relevant laws and regulations regarding the length of time in advance, and it is usually specified in local “plans”. For example, the "2021 Guangzhou Orderly Power Consumption Plan" stipulates that the control center will issue peak-shift warning signals for the power grid in various districts of Guangzhou City for the next day or for a period of time based on the power supply and power grid operation conditions. After receiving the peak-shift warning signal issued by the control center, the power supply bureaus in each district will issue the peak-shift warning signal and related information to their users one day in advance for the next day or a period of time.

This is the case with the recent restrictions on electricity consumption in most areas of the country.

Emergency power rationing

In emergencies such as accidents, power grid companies activate emergency plans for power outages. There is no legal obligation for power grid companies to notify in advance.

Legal basis:

Article 12 of the "Measures for the Management of Orderly Electricity Use" The preparation of orderly electricity use plans shall implement national industrial policies and energy conservation and environmental protection policies. In principle, the following key restrictions Electricity consumption:

(1) Projects built or under construction in violation of regulations;

(2) Eliminated or restricted enterprises in the industrial structure adjustment catalog;

( 3) Enterprises whose energy consumption per unit product is higher than the national or local mandatory energy consumption limit standards;

(4) Landscape lighting and lighting projects;

(5) Other high energy consumption , high-emitting enterprises.
