On August 30, State Grid Sichuan Electric Power announced the resumption of normal power supply across all industrial and commercial sectors in Sichuan Province, marking a significant recovery from the severe power shortage caused by extreme heat. With temperatures dropping, peak electricity demand fell from 65 million kW to 48 million kW, while large industrial power consumption surged from 156 million kWh to 350 million kWh. Residential usage declined from 473 million kWh to 277 million kWh due to reduced cooling needs. Increased rainfall has alleviated drought conditions, boosting hydropower inflows and reservoir levels—Monkeyyan Reservoir now stands 11 meters above dead water level. Daily hydropower generation has rebounded to 520 million kWh, up 23.8% from its lowest point. Supported by nationwide grid assistance, Sichuan’s power supply capacity has stabilized. Industrial operations have resumed full production, with companies like Fulin Precision running double shifts to fulfill
In the middle of the night on August 30, the State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Company announced that all large industries, general industries and commerce in the province have resumed normal power supply, and the power supply shortage in Sichuan caused by extreme high temperature has been effectively alleviated, and the power supply is stable and orderly.
Data provided by State Grid Sichuan Electric Power shows that with the drop in temperature, the maximum electricity demand load in Sichuan Province has dropped from 65 million kilowatts to 48 million kilowatts. The daily electricity consumption of Sichuan's large industries has risen from 156 million kWh to 350 million kWh on August 22, and the daily electricity consumption of residents has dropped from 473 million kWh to 277 million kWh. The "one liter and one drop" reflects the remarkable effect of the resumption of work and production in Sichuan's large industries, and the rapid decline in residents' demand for cooling and electricity.
At the same time, the recent rainfall has eased the drought to a certain extent, and the inflow of water in major river basins has gradually improved. The water level of the Monkeyyan Reservoir, the main reservoir of Sichuan hydropower, has risen to 1,813 meters, which is 11 meters above the dead water level. The daily power generation capacity of Sichuan Hydropower has recovered to 520 million kWh, an increase of 23.8% from the lowest value in the previous period.
State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Company spokesperson Luo Xiaoyi said that with the continuous support of the State Grid, the power generation and power supply capacity of Sichuan Power Grid has been able to meet the demand, and the power supply has returned to normal.
After electricity consumption returned to normal, industrial enterprises in various cities in Sichuan operated at full capacity and produced at full capacity. "Some time ago, we actively responded to Sichuan's call of 'Let electricity be used for the people' and organized employees to maintain the equipment. The power department also went to the door to check and repair the hidden dangers of electrical equipment. After the power was restored, it operated in two shifts and produced at full capacity. , and do our best to meet customer orders for delivery." said Jiang Dong, director of the operation department of Fulin Precision.
At present, the 50 emergency power generation vehicles urgently mobilized by the State Grid from 13 provinces and cities have basically completed all the tasks of helping Sichuan to ensure electricity, and will return one after another according to the arrangement.
