Will there still be power rationing in 2022? What is the latest news about the power rationing order? Attached with the latest national regulations

Around the end of September 2022, many places in my country issued notices of power outages. Guangdong implemented a two-day-on, five-day-off power-rationing measure, while other regions announced that they would implement orderly power rationing. After experiencing the power rationing policy in the second half of last year, many people are worried whether there will be power rationing this year as well. Will there still be power rationing in 2022? What is the latest news about the power rationing order? The latest national regulations are as follows:

1. Will there still be power rationing in 2022?

There will still be power rationing in 2022, but the specific amount will depend on the electricity consumption in each province. Power rationing will usually occur in September, October or winter. Because last year's power rationing was related to him. The power rationing in the south was mainly due to excessive electricity consumption by residents, which led to the need for factories and units to save energy and implement peak power consumption measures, encouraging factories to use electricity during off-peak periods and stop using electricity during peak periods. The reason for power rationing in the three northeastern provinces last year was the rise in coal prices. However, my country's current power generation is mainly based on coal, and wind power generation cannot fully meet the electricity needs of residents. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone be mentally prepared for power rationing, so that high-energy-consuming enterprises will not have no choice but to suspend production after the power rationing was implemented last year.

In addition, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic this year, local epidemics occurred in many regions in the first half of the year, resulting in suspension of work and production. If power rationing continues in the second half of the year, factory output will be affected, so it’s better to be prepared.

2. What is the latest news about the power rationing order in 2022? Attached with the latest national regulations

So far, there has been no news of power cuts being issued across the country. However, from May 17 to 19, Li Keqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Premier of the State Council, visited Qujing and Kunming in Yunnan Province and said that stable energy supply is an important support for ensuring development, and power outages must be resolutely eliminated this year. We should seize favorable conditions to generate more electricity. For example, this year there is more water flowing in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, so we can use green energy hydropower to complete the task of transmitting electricity from west to east. If power rationing also occurs in some areas in 2022, it may be related to the following reasons:

1. First, the reduction of natural energy

Natural energy refers to energy that has not been processed or converted, such as wind power, hydropower, solar power, etc. For example, the power rationing in Northeast China last year was related to the sudden drop in wind power, and the reduction in wind power will cause the electricity supply gap to further increase to a serious level. If the heating is about to start, the electricity consumption will increase while the wind power will decrease. In order to ensure the normal subsequent heating, power outages will occur.

2. The second is the rise in fuel prices

As the domestic economic recovery continues, commodity prices continue to rise. In addition to the rise in steel prices, coal prices have also remained high and will continue for some time. From the perspective of coal demand, with the decrease in hydropower contribution in the second half of the year, the output requirements of thermal power will increase, and the demand for power generation companies to replenish inventories will increase. The coal supply situation will continue to be tight.

In general, it is still unknown whether there will be power rationing in 2022. It depends on the subsequent electricity consumption in various parts of my country. If the electricity consumption is too high, power rationing may be implemented. At present, there is no latest news on power-rationing orders issued by any locality. However, according to the latest speech by Premier Li Keqiang on May 19, it is required that power outages must be strictly prohibited this year.
