[00:01:16] Hello, welcome to the interview . This year [00:01:20] , our country has experienced three [00:01:24] , which directly raised the power load , and the power load in many places reached a new [00:01:28] high. At the same time [00:01:36] , the power consumption of new industries represented by high-tech and equipment manufacturing continued to grow , which also made the basic [00:01:39] plate of power consumption growth in our country . Although the power demand [00:01:43] continues to climb, this summer , our country's power supply is stable and [00:01:47] orderly. As the world's largest energy consumer, what kind of top-level planning [00:01:51] is behind the power protection, and which aspects have played an important role [00:01:55] in coordination ? This summer [00:01:58] , the whole country [00:02:30] reached 1.557 billion kilowatts , an increase of about [00:02:33] 49 million kilowatts compared with last year's peak. The economic recovery [00:02:37] is the main reason for the growth of power consumption . In July this year [00:02:40] , the national monthly power consumption reached 1.04 trillion kilowatt-hours [00:02:43] , breaking the trillion-mark for the first time last year [00:02:47] , and continued to grow steadily. The large-scale high temperature weather brought about a concentrated release of [00:02:51] intelligent load, which is the direct driving [00:02:55] force for the peak power consumption . The power consumption of high-tech and equipment manufacturing [00:02:59] and other emerging industries continued to grow , stabilizing the basic [00:03:02] plate of summer power consumption growth. Coupled with the high temperature weather, the power load [00:03:06] continued to climb. This summer, although the power load [00:03:10] rate hit a new high, our country's power supply was always stable and [00:03:14] orderly. People can safely enjoy air conditioning freedom and worry-free [00:03:18] power consumption in summer, which is precisely the result of a series [00:03:21] of institutional mechanisms working together and silently supporting [00:03:24] . We are guided by the construction plan [00:03:28] of the new star power system, forming a long-term plan, a three-year [00:03:32] rush, an annual one-province-one- side interconnected and progressive protection system [00:03:36] . Since 1557, we have adhered [00:03:39] to the principle of moderately advanced and not overly advanced, prioritizing the excavation of [00:03:43] the power grid's internal protection capabilities, giving full play [00:03:46] to the peak-shaving role of power consumption and new energy storage, [00:03:50] continuously improving the new energy power support level, and [00:03:54] simultaneously strengthening the basic protection of traditional power sources. This summer's [00:03:58] stable power supply can be said to be the result of the [00:04:02] coordination of several links in the power market [00:04:05] . The original refers to [00:04:08] the power source side, the power grid side, the power consumption side, and the energy storage [00:04:12] side. From the power source side , our country's coal [00:04:16] , natural gas and other energy supplies are sufficient , and the national unified dispatch power [00:04:19] plant has more than 30 days of available coal storage. At the same [00:04:23] time, the attack of green energy also played an important role [00:04:27] . In recent years, in the desert Gobi [00:04:37] . Since this summer , Chongqing has had 25 consecutive days [00:04:41] with temperatures exceeding 35 degrees Celsius . The concentrated use of air conditioners directly pushed up [00:04:45] the power grid load, reaching a maximum of 31.4 million kilowatts [00:04:48] , an increase of 1.12 million kilowatts compared with last year's peak [00:04:52] . Faced with the constantly rising power load peak, the power grid staff [00:04:56] are much calmer than before . Because it comes from Xinjiang [00:05:14] . This is the Shaqi new energy power transmission base that alleviates Chongqing's power consumption anxiety [00:05:18] . On the Gobi Desert of Tian Shan North Road in Xinjiang, it is [00:05:22] continuously producing clean electricity day and night . Although separated by more than 2,000 kilometers [00:05:26] , during the period of wind speed , Xinjiang and Chongqing worked [00:05:30] together perfectly, one fully outputting and the other [00:05:33] stably receiving. Now, with more and more such large [00:05:37] bases in Shaqi, clean electricity is constantly sent to areas [00:05:41] with tight power supply [00:07:12] . The cross-current mixed large power grid with the strongest resource allocation capability, with [00:07:16] power transmitted from west to center, has formed a power [00:07:19] transmission pattern of three major channels in the north, center, and south, with a transmission capacity exceeding [00:07:23] 3.4 billion kilowatts. This summer, ultra-high voltage, as a power [00:07:27] expressway, has enabled clean energy to be transmitted across regions from [00:07:31] the western and northern energy bases to the eastern and central load centers, [00:07:35] effectively supporting the orderly power supply during peak high-temperature [00:07:39] periods. In Anhui, the Shanbei to Anhui ultra-high voltage, which was put into operation at the end of June [00:10:56] , plays an irreplaceable role in alleviating power pressure [00:11:01] . On the large screen of the power management center, when power consumption is high, we can see that the power consumption curve is steadily falling [00:11:09] . Behind this is the silent cooperation of 611 and more than 14,000 users [00:11:15] . They have exerted their regulation capabilities to form a combined force of 1.4 million kilowatts in a short period of time, like a medium-sized power plant that quietly came online [00:12:07] . This is the Three Gorges Energy Qingyun Energy Storage Power Station in Dezhou, Shandong, with an installed capacity of 300,000 kilowatts [00:12:11] . In the energy storage power station , 184 energy storage battery [00:12:14] compartments are neatly arranged, just like 1884 giant super [00:12:18] power banks. Each power bank, when fully charged, can store 6700 [00:12:22] kilowatt-hours of electricity. If calculated according to two households [00:13:32] , it is transmitted to areas with tight power consumption in the east and central parts, thereby making up for the power gap in these areas during peak periods. In the Beijing Power Exchange Center, the exchange platform continuously displays the latest [00:13:35] power exchange information . This summer, the boom in [00:13:39] power demand also boosted the activity of the power exchange [00:13:43] market. The inter-provincial medium and long-term transaction volume exceeded [00:13:46] 350 billion kilowatt-hours, an increase of more than 20 billion year-on-year [00:13:50] . This increase of 20 billion is equivalent to more than 20% of the Three Gorges' annual [00:13:54] power generation. In order to realize the power supply guarantee in Beijing this summer, the [00:13:58] Beijing Power Exchange Center also launched a series of innovative mechanisms to make [00:14:02] power flow better throughout the country. The main [00:14:06] practice is to realize our medium and long-term [00:14:09] and spot continuous operation on natural [00:14:13] days, to realize our uninterrupted and continuous power exchange [00:14:17] . Great innovations have also been made in trading varieties, and in [00:14:20] establishing cross-regional long-term trading mechanisms, we have broken [00:14:55] . First, optimize the planning and layout, focusing on new production [00:14:58] capacity, industrial clusters, and regional coordination of power source and power grid planning and construction [00:15:02] . [00:15:05] Third, improve the quality of power and promote the transformation of power [00:15:08] consumption from using electricity to using good electricity. Next, we [00:15:11] will continue to increase these measures to provide more reliable and higher [00:15:15] quality power supply guarantee for the development of new productive [00:15:19] forces. Energy security and safety are related to the national economy and people's livelihood [00:15:23] , and cannot be ignored [00:15:37] . The grand strategy of national energy security is particularly important [00:15:41] . Faced with new situations and new challenges, we [00:15:45] must continue to improve the construction of a new power system to provide [00:15:49] reliable energy security for the high-quality development of the economy and society. Thank you for watching [00:15:52] today's Focus Interview. Goodbye
