China will add 70 million kilowatts of new generating units to alleviate power supply shortages!

In order to alleviate the tight power supply situation in China, this year's newly installed power generation capacity will reach 70 million kilowatts. At the same time, about 25,000 kilometers of transmission lines of 220 kilovolts and above will be put into operation, and the transformation capacity will be about 140 million kilowatts. volt-ampere, the pace of power grid development has accelerated significantly. 　
A recent forecast made by the China Electricity Council on China's power supply demand this year shows that driven by the continued rapid growth of the national economy, the growth rate of electricity demand is expected to be about 13%, and electricity consumption will reach 24,500. About 6 billion kilowatt hours, an increase of 282.5 billion kilowatt hours compared with the previous year. Among them, the overall power consumption growth in the northwest, south, and east China power grid regions is still in the leading position, with growth rates reaching more than 14% respectively; the growth rate in the central China power grid region and the northeast power grid region is relatively slow, but can still reach more than 10%. .
According to forecasts, China's electricity demand is expected to increase by about 11% in 2006, with electricity consumption reaching about 2,750 billion kilowatt-hours. By then, the tense situation of power supply and demand is expected to ease, with only some areas feeling slightly tense. The gap is mainly concentrated in several regions in eastern and southern China. During the peak summer period, it is roughly 800 to 10 million kilowatts.
It is known that last year was a year of rapid growth in China's electricity demand. The electricity consumption of the entire society increased by 14.9% over the previous year, and the annual power generation growth rate reached 14.8%. The net increase in power generation installed capacity was 49.29 million kilowatts, an increase of 12.6% over the previous year, which was a relatively high growth level in the past ten years.
