“There was a wave of price increases, and then there was another wave of electricity rationing.”
Since May, the demand for electricity in Guangdong Province has continued to rise. At present, the maximum load demand regulated by the province has exceeded the maximum load for the whole of last year. Recently, many ceramic production companies and upstream supporting companies in major ceramic production areas such as Foshan, Qingyuan, and Zhaoqing in Guangdong have received notices to start implementing "peak-shifting power consumption."
"Open for five days but stop for two days", many places in Guangdong have begun "power rationing"
On May 21, the Guangdong Provincial Energy Bureau announced that due to the accelerated economic recovery and continued warming, especially the strong demand for electricity in the secondary and tertiary industries, the province's electricity consumption increased by 32.2% year-on-year from January to April respectively. % and 40.2%.
At the same time, since May, Guangdong Province has continued to experience high temperatures, and electricity demand has continued to rise, exceeding the highest load for the entire year last year. Under the combined influence of multiple factors, Guangdong's power supply is relatively tight.
To this end, many places in Guangdong Province have begun to issue notices to implement orderly power consumption and staggered peak power consumption.
"Ceramic Information" understands that Foshan, Qingyuan, Zhaoqing, Huizhou, Zhuhai and other places in Guangdong have begun to implement peak power consumption. Some ceramics, upstream chemical and mechanical equipment manufacturers have also received notices of "peak power consumption".
According to the orderly power consumption notice issued by Guangdong Power Grid, due to the recent impact of high temperature weather, the power load continues to rise and the load gap continues to increase. Starting from May 23, Foshan City’s power peak shifting plan will be changed from the original "Opening for six days and stopping one day" has been upgraded to "Opening for five days and stopping for two days", that is, users with off-peak peaks will have off-peak peaks for two consecutive days every week, that is to say, on May 28 and May 29, from 8:00-21: During 00, all industrial production electricity will be stopped, only lighting and necessary security loads will be retained, and so on. Every Friday and Saturday, orderly electricity use will be consciously implemented, and the end time of orderly electricity use will be notified separately.
There has just been a wave of price increases, and there is another wave of electricity rationing
The person in charge of production at a ceramics enterprise in Zhaoqing said, “There has just been a wave of price increases, followed by another wave of electricity rationing. Production pressure has become even greater. Now electricity consumption is becoming increasingly tight. If strict restrictions are to continue, Electricity production may have to be reduced.”
The person in charge of a ceramics company in Qingyuan also said, “One day last weekWe are completely shut down, and we are currently communicating to see if we can first ensure the power consumption of the kiln, because for the production of ceramic companies, the kiln continues to start and stop, whether it is production or the later maintenance of the equipment, it will cause A certain degree of influence. ”
"Dry weather, water and electricity shortages, and a significant reduction in West-East electricity transmission have led to tight electricity consumption. We are now operating four days a week and three days off, resulting in tight shipments." said an upstream raw material supplier in Sihui City. "Ceramic Information" has learned from many sources that at present, the specific policies for off-peak electricity consumption are different in various places in Guangdong according to specific circumstances, such as starting on five days and then stopping two days, starting on six days and stopping one day, starting on four days and stopping three days, etc.
"Now we are 'on five days and two days off', that is, normal production for 5 days and production shutdown for 2 days. We plan to start work normally on Friday night and stop work during the day on Saturday and Sunday, so as to ensure normal shipping efficiency. This This is the second time we have adjusted the off-peak electricity consumption plan. Some time ago, it was still 'on, six and one off'." A ceramic machinery and equipment manufacturer in Foshan said that the specific duration of the off-peak power consumption will be notified until further notice.
