On November 6, the National Development and Reform Commission held the Endeavour “15th Five-Year Plan” series of press conferences to introduce the situation related to building a secure foundation. Ge Ju, deputy director of the Development Planning Department of the National Energy Administration, said that during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, China's electricity demand will continue to grow rigidly, driven by emerging industries such as computing power. The average annual increase is expected to reach about 600 billion kilowatts, which is equivalent to adding 3 new electricity consumption in Shanghai every year. In order to ensure the supply of electricity, we have established an early warning mechanism for the sufficiency of electricity supply. It is proposed that the electricity supply sufficiency will be greater than 1.1 in 2030, that is, at the peak of electricity consumption load, there is still a 10% margin of guarantee capacity to ensure that it can “withstand the peak and cover the bottom” at critical times.
