As the largest hydropower province in China, why is Sichuan short of electricity and limited production?

As the largest hydropower province in China, Sichuan is undoubtedly a "big family". Recently, the news of Sichuan's power shortage and limited production has been hotly searched. Many people want to know why Sichuan lacks electricity and limits production. The root cause is the special climate this year.

According to relevant data, there is a rare high temperature in China this summer or the highest temperature in 196 1 year! Once in sixty years! As of August 15, the high temperature process has lasted for 64 days, which is the longest since 196 1, surpassing the longest 62 days in the previous 20 13 years.

In summer, we often talk about the phrase "it's so hot". In this summer, it has something to do with heatstroke that we have never heard of before, and it has also refreshed our cognition. Hot death is no longer a joke, but a tragic reality of exhaustion.

Under this year's high temperature coverage, Sichuan Province is particularly prominent, and almost all the top ten cities in the national high temperature list are occupied by Sichuan. Let's take the second highest temperature in China1as an example. Five of the top ten regions are from Sichuan Province.

In addition to the continuous high temperature, there are also reasons for the lack of precipitation that are also affecting Sichuan. The whole Sichuan is facing an extremely severe test in terms of high temperature and water shortage. According to relevant statistics, the drought disaster has affected nearly 6.094 million people in Sichuan Province.

In the face of high temperature, what we ordinary people can use to resist is the fan and air conditioner at home. But because the electricity load is too heavy, Sichuan is actually! Power's out!

It is understood that Sichuan implemented power rationing regulations in August 15: 19. All cities and states in the province implemented the policy of benefiting the people from industrial enterprises, and all industrial power users stopped production (except security load) and took high temperature leave.

But even if all the industrial power is given to the people, it is still a drop in the bucket for Sichuan, which has a huge demand.

At the end of 20021,the installed capacity of hydropower in Sichuan reached 89.47 million kilowatts, accounting for 2 1.2% of the national hydropower, ranking first in installed capacity and annual power generation. Under such high-quality congenital conditions, almost all the power supply sources in Sichuan come from hydropower, rather than expensive and polluted thermal power.

In the hot weather for more than 40 days, there was no rain, the riverbed dried up and the reservoir dried up, making it difficult for many counties and cities to drink water. Water has evaporated, so what can we use to generate electricity? Even if industrial power is limited, it is still a drop in the bucket, so Sichuan is caught in a vicious circle of power shortage.

In addition, Sichuan has always been the core area of "Power Transmission from West to East". Although there is a shortage of electricity, the delivery of hydropower in Sichuan still needs to be fulfilled, and it cannot be stopped or delivered less because of the lack of electricity in the province. Baihetan Hydropower Station supplies power to Jiangsu. Supply electricity from Shanghai to Jiaba and Jiangxi to Yazhong Hydropower Station. ...

Therefore, it is precisely because of the continuous high temperature in Sichuan this year, the precipitation is reduced, the power load is too large, and the water and electricity must be delivered, so Sichuan has the disadvantage of limiting production. However, in this case, some people are tragic and great, sacrificing themselves to save the electricity demand of other brother provinces.

At present, the State Grid is taking measures to ensure the demand for electricity for people's livelihood. Starting from 19, 50 emergency generator cars from Beijing, Shanxi, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places will arrive in Sichuan one after another to improve the power supply support capacity under special circumstances. It truly reflects that all parts of the country are facing and overcoming difficulties in difficult times.
