On the news front, according to Xinhua News Agency on June 27, since June, Beijing, Shandong, Henan and other places have been hit by high temperatures, driving a rapid increase in electricity consumption, and the energy industry has gradually entered the peak summer period. Southern Power Grid expects the maximum load during the peak summer period to reach 255 million kilowatts. The company has made advance planning and deployment, and all key summer projects are put into operation. It monitors power outages for 24 hours through the production command center, optimizes the high-temperature linkage response mechanism and repair personnel, and improves the efficiency of fault repair.

Recently, Du Zhongming, director of the Power Department of the National Energy Administration, said that during this year's peak summer period, national electricity consumption will increase rapidly, with the highest load expected to increase by more than 100 million kilowatts year-on-year. At present, many regions and departments have entered the peak summer period to ensure power supply. In Fujian Province, with the recent commissioning of the Zhangzhou 220 kV main transformer expansion project, all key engineering and construction projects for peak summer electricity supply by State Grid Fujian Electric Power have been completed. The Qingdao Island City 500 kV transmission and transformation project has been put into operation, adding 3 million kilowatts of power supply capacity to Qingdao, equivalent to about one-fourth of the peak load for the whole area, which will effectively ease the tension in power supply during this year's peak summer period in the Qingdao area.
