Provincial Orderly Power Consumption Plan Raised to Level D

Provincial Orderly Power Consumption Plan Raised to Level D

Write: Maitane [2011-05-20]

Zhejiang Province now sees a serious shortage of electricity, though it is not in the peak of electricity consumption, as in winter and summer. Recently, the provincial Coordinating Group for Orderly Power Consumption has modified the electricity utility plan by raising it from level C to level D, averting and shifting the peak load of 2.4 million kilowatts.

Experts say that the underlying reason for raising orderly power consumption plan is the conflict between the sharp increase in the electricity demand in the province and the slow growth of electricity generation ability, which widens the gap between the power supply and demand in Zhejiang Province.

Presently, the provincial Electric Power Corporation and the relevant departments are working on the details of a preliminary plan for the power supply and utility, intensifying the fine management of orderly power consumption, and strengthening the purchase and transportation of coal used for electricity generation so as to ensure the power supply.

Nevertheless, people needn t worry too much about the shortage of electricity. Due to the fact that Zhejiang Province has a large electricity consumption base and the major users are enterprises, the shortage of electricity has little effect on people s life.
