Description

Since March, electricity shortages have appeared in many places in China even though the peak period of power consumption has not arrived yet.

Different levels of insufficient power supply have appeared in Zhejiang, Hunan, Jiangxi, Chongqing, Guizhou and other places, and local areas are actively taking measures such as “power limitation” and “power restriction” to cope with the shortages.

Why are there electricity shortages during the low season of electricity consumption? Lin Weibin, deputy director of the Research Center of Energy and Strategic Resources under Beijing Normal University, said to reporters that the shortage of coal supply is the cause of an electricity shortage, and the essential method for solving this problem is to raise the electricity price.
