In recent years, the term “power rationing” is not unfamiliar to people, and many places have implemented relevant policies. Just like many industrial enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region began to “open three stop four” mode of work, and even some enterprises “open two stop five”, “open one stop six”, that is, we often hear the wrong peak power consumption recently. Different regions have different relevant measures, but in any case, it has brought a great impact on the normal operation of enterprises.

1. Local power restrictions
In previous years, there have been “power rationing” policies during peak periods. However, unlike this year s Chuseok holiday, the blackout is only happening in parts of the country. If we do not pay attention, we may not notice the blackout. But this year, whether “90% of production limit” or “open two stop five” and “thousands of enterprises at the same time power limit”, has never happened in the past days.

In response to the “blackout”, different regions have introduced different related policies. Shaanxi province has ordered all new projects to suspend normal production from September to December. Those that have already started production in the current year will have to limit production by as much as 60% on the basis of previous production.

The rest of the “two high” projects and enterprises need to reduce their own production, to ensure a reduction of 50 percent. Under such measures, it is indeed a big challenge for production enterprises, and new production methods need to be sought under such circumstances.

And in Guangdong area is implemented “open two stop five”, “open one stop six” off-peak electricity method. In such a power plan, many enterprises every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday for the relevant off-peak rotation. Of course, it does not mean that there is no electricity in the enterprise when the peak is wrong, but to retain less than 15% of the total electricity load, which is often referred to as the “security load”.

Ningxia has been more direct, suspending production at all energy-intensive factories for a month. In Sichuan province, non-essential production, office and lighting loads were suspended to meet the requirement of “power rationing”. Henan province ordered some factories to suspend production for more than three weeks, while Chongqing began power rationing in early August.

It is under such power restriction policy that many enterprises have been greatly affected. If it is the kind of peak power consumption in previous years and the need to implement “power rationing”, it will only have a greater impact on those enterprises with high energy consumption and high pollution. However, under the influence of the current situation of “power rationing”, many light industrial factories have also been greatly affected, and the manufacturing industry will suffer a certain blow.

Second, Dong Mingzhu’s countermeasures
However, in the major manufacturing enterprises because of power cuts and production headaches, Dong Mingzhu is in a way pointed out a response. Many people who are concerned about Dong Mingzhu and Gree Group are familiar with Zhuhai Yinlong New Energy Company. Not long ago, Zhuhai Yinlong New Energy provided a container energy storage system to a local pharmaceutical factory in Zhuhai, which was suffering from power cuts and shutdowns.

Three, the outlet of each big enterprise
As far as the current situation is concerned, “power rationing” is mainly concentrated in the manufacturing industry. According to relevant statistics, China’s total thermal power generation during the first half of 2021 was about 2,8262 billion kilowatt-hours, up 15% from the same period last year. Thermal power generation accounts for 73 percent of the country’s total power generation. It can also be seen that thermal power generation is still the most core type of power generation in China.

And look at the price of coal, which is needed for power generation. In May, the international price of thermal coal was about 500 yuan per ton. After entering the summer, the international thermal coal price has become 800 yuan a ton, and now the international thermal coal price is as high as 1400 yuan. Thermal coal has almost tripled in price.

The price of electricity in our country is regulated by the state and belongs to one of the countries with lower electricity charges in the world. But thermal coal is an international commodity, and the price is regulated by the market. Under such circumstances, if the power plant continues to supply power as before, the price of thermal coal has not changed, but the price of thermal coal has risen nearly three times, the power plant will suffer a large loss. So “pull power limit” has become an inevitable trend.

In the face of such a situation, the relevant enterprises should make corresponding responses. We often say that survival of the fittest is the survival of the fittest. Especially in the current unpredictable market environment, enterprises must consider what their core competitiveness is, which is the fundamental place for development.

Just like Dong Mingzhu, the “master” of Gree Group, in fact, the core competitiveness of their own enterprises is constantly upgraded. The research and development of technology must not stop, for many enterprises experienced this time after the “switch power limit”, more should be targeted at high technology content, low consumption, low carbon environmental protection product development above.

conclusion
The Times are in constant development and change, never because of a person and stand still. The core of an enterprise advancing with The Times is how to transform “manufacturing” into “intelligent manufacturing”, which is the core. We should understand that when the crisis comes, it often represents the arrival of opportunities. Only by seizing this opportunity can we make the enterprise go to the next level.
