    According to recent data released by the China Electricity Council, in the first quarter, the country’s electricity consumption was 1.
    92 trillion kilowatt-hours, an increase of 21.
    2% year-on-year.
    The low base formed by the epidemic in the same period last year was the main reason for the rapid increase in electricity consumption.
    On a monthly basis, electricity consumption in the whole society in January-February and March increased by 22.
    2% and 19.
    4% year-on-year respectively, and the two-year average growth rate was 6.
    7% and 7.
    6% respectively.
    The year-on-year growth rate of electricity consumption in the whole society and the two-year average growth rate reflect the steady recovery of my country's economy.

    In terms of power production and supply, as of the end of March, the country’s full-caliber power generation installed capacity was 2.


    23 billion kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 9.
    4%.


    According to the forecast of the China Electricity Council, considering the domestic and international economic situation, the low base of the previous year, electric energy substitution and other factors, as well as the uncertainties in the external environment, it is expected that the growth rate of electricity consumption in the whole society will be high and low in 2021.


    Social electricity consumption increased by 7%-8%.


      In this context, it is expected that in 2021, the overall power supply and demand across the country will be balanced, and the power supply will be tight during peak hours in some areas.


    From a regional perspective, there will be a certain surplus in power supply in the Northeast and Northwest; the power supply and demand in North and East China are generally balanced; the power supply and demand in Central and South China are tight during peak hours.


      “For provinces with hard power shortages, we will speed up the follow-up project arrangements for power supply and channel construction.


    For short-term and partial structural power shortages, demand-side management should be strengthened, and orderly power utilization plans should be formulated as soon as possible to implement the livelihood of the people, protect key customers, and Measures to protect the lives of residents, and at the same time announce the power supply and demand situation to the society, and enhance the society’s awareness, participation and enthusiasm for power demand side management.
