of renewable energy continued to dominate the newly installed capacity, accounting for nearly 60% of the country's total installed capacity. In the first half of this year, the installed capacity of renewable energy in China increased by 268 million kilowatts, an increase of 99.3% over the same period last year, accounting for 91% of the newly installed capacity. Among them, hydropower increased by 3.93 million kilowatts, wind power increased by 51.39 million kilowatts, and solar power increased by 2. By the end of June this year, the installed capacity of renewable energy in China reached 2.159 billion kilowatts, an increase of 30.6% over the same period last year. It accounts for 59.2% of the total installed capacity in China, including 440 million kilowatts of hydropower, 573 million kilowatts of wind power, 1.1 billion kilowatts of solar power and 0
of biomass power. Renewable energy generation has reached a new level. Renewable energy power generation is close to 40% of the country's total power generation, exceeding the sum of the electricity consumption of the tertiary industry and the electricity consumption of urban and rural residents in the same period. The new power generation of wind power and photovoltaic power exceeds the increment of electricity consumption of the whole society. In the first half of this year, China's renewable energy power generation reached 1799.3 billion kWh, an increase of 15.6% over the same period last year, accounting for 39.7% of the total power generation, exceeding the sum of the electricity consumption of the tertiary industry (916.4 billion kWh) and that of urban and rural residents (709.3 billion kWh) in the same period; Among them, the total power generation of wind power and solar power reached 11478 billion kWh, an increase of 27.4% over the same period last year, accounting for 23.7% of the total electricity consumption of the whole society, an increase of 4. The total power generation of wind power and photovoltaic power increased by 247 billion kWh over the same period last year, exceeding the increase of the total electricity consumption of the whole society. The following is an introduction to the main renewable energy power generation varieties.
Among them, in terms of the construction and operation of photovoltaic power generation, in the first half of this year, 212 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power were added to the grid nationwide, including about 100 million kilowatts of centralized photovoltaic power and distributed photovoltaic power. By the end of June 2025, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in China reached about 1.1 billion kilowatts, an increase of 54.1% over the same period last year. In the first half of this year, the cumulative photovoltaic power generation in China was 559.1 billion kWh, an increase of 42 over the same period last year.
In terms of energy storage, the construction and operation of photovoltaic power generation.
First, the policy system for the development of new energy storage in China has been continuously improved, and a number of policy documents have been issued, such as the Notice on Promoting the Integration and Dispatch of New Energy Storage, the Action Plan for Accelerating the Construction of New Power System (2024-2027), and the Guiding Opinions on Supporting the Innovation and Development of New Business Entities in the Power Field. We will improve the power market mechanism and guide scientific development.
Second, the application effect of new energy storage has gradually emerged. Compared with 2023, the deployment of new energy storage in 2024 has increased significantly, and the average annual equivalent utilization hours in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Chongqing, Xinjiang and other provinces (regions) have reached more than 1000 hours, which has become an important means to promote the development and consumption of new energy. During the summer peak period, the new energy storage gives full play to the function of "super charging treasure" and contributes a key force to the power supply during the peak period.
Third, the practice of technological innovation has taken a solid step. In 2024, the National Energy Administration released 56 pilot projects of new energy storage, covering more than ten technical routes. Many pilot projects are the first engineering applications in China, showing a diversified development trend in general, effectively promoting breakthroughs in key technologies and equipment of new energy storage. At the same time, 12 new energy storage projects were selected as the fourth batch of supporting projects for the first (set) of major technical equipment in the energy field, providing application scenarios for the first (set) of major technical equipment landing transformation. Fourthly, the standard system continued to improve. In 2024, more than 20 electrochemical energy storage standards were issued and implemented, and a number of standards were established, covering planning and design, access to the grid, operation control, maintenance test, post-evaluation and other links. The construction level of China's new energy storage standard system was further improved.

In the first half of this year, the national energy supply was adequate, the overall supply and demand were loose, the energy structure was continuously optimized, and the construction of a new energy system was accelerated, which contributed to the sustained recovery of China's economy, mainly with the following four characteristics:
First, the energy security capability was steadily improved. In the first half of the year, the production of raw coal grew steadily, and the output of industrial raw coal increased year-on-year. 5. The production of oil and gas grew steadily, the output of industrial crude oil increased by 1.3% year-on-year, and the output of industrial natural gas increased year-on-year. 5. After deducting the number of days, the average daily output of industrial power generation increased year-on-year. Longdong-Shandong, Hami-Chongqing and other UHVDC transmission projects have been put into operation. Since the peak summer, the effective response 15.
Second, the green low-carbon transformation has been accelerated. The installed capacity of new energy has maintained rapid growth. After the installed capacity of wind power and solar power historically exceeded that of thermal power at the end of March, the installed capacity of non-fossil energy power exceeded 60% for the first time at the end of May. In the first half of this year, the newly installed capacity of wind power and solar power doubled compared with the same period last year. Accelerate the construction of new power systems, organize and carry out the first batch of pilot projects for the construction of new power systems, and support the high-quality development of new energy sources.
Three, energy consumption has maintained overall growth. In April and May, the growth rate of electricity consumption of the whole society reached 4.7% and 4.4% respectively. In June, the electricity consumption of the whole society increased by 5. Natural gas demand increased slightly, and urban gas was the main driving factor. Coal consumption declined slightly, mainly due to warm winter weather, new energy output increased significantly and other factors. The consumption of refined oil products continued to grow negatively, and the substitution effect of new energy vehicles and liquefied natural gas (LNG) heavy trucks on transportation oil continued to emerge.
Fourth, important policies and measures have been introduced intensively. The market-oriented reform policy of new energy grid price was introduced, and new energy entered the market in an all-round way, opening up a new development process. We will promote the reform of the power system, formulate and promulgate the Notice on Promoting the Development of Green Power Direct Connection in an Orderly Way, study and solve the problem of high proportion of new energy consumption; jointly issue policy documents to promote the high-quality development of the renewable energy green power certificate market, and accelerate the establishment of a green energy consumption promotion mechanism. Publish and implement the Opinions on Deepening and Improving the Service Level of "Access to Electricity" to Create a Modern Business Environment for Electricity Consumption in an All-round Way, and expand the low-voltage free electricity service to all kinds of private economic organizations with 160 kW or less. Ten key measures to promote the development of private economy in the field of energy have been introduced to promote the coordination and linkage between energy development and private economic development. The Basic Rules of Electric Power Ancillary Service Market and the Basic Rules of Measurement and Settlement of Electric Power Market were issued, and the basic rules of medium and long-term, spot and ancillary service market were all promulgated.

Next, I would like to invite Bian Guangqi, deputy director of the Department of Science and Technology, to release the China New Energy Storage Development Report (2025).
[Bian Guangqi, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Energy Conservation and Scientific and Technological Equipment]
Good morning, friends from the press. Next, I would like to introduce the basic information of China's New Energy Storage Development Report (2025). In recent years, with the rapid development of new energy storage in China, it plays an increasingly prominent role in the new power system, effectively promoting the development and absorption of new energy, and improving the level of safe and stable operation of the power system. In order to strengthen the guidance of industry development and serve the implementation of the "double carbon" strategy, our Bureau has recently organized and compiled the "China New Energy Storage Development Report (2025)", which has been provided to journalists on the spot and will be published on the portal website of the National Energy Administration after the press conference. Now, I would like to make a brief introduction.
The report mainly includes three parts: First, it systematically summarizes the development of new energy storage at home and abroad in 2024 from the aspects of policy system, installed capacity, application scenarios, technological innovation, industrial development and standard system. Secondly, the development prospects of the new energy storage industry in 2025 are put forward from the aspects of scientific planning and development, improving market mechanism, increasing technological research, promoting the role and consolidating industrial advantages. The third is to systematically sort out the major policies, technological innovations and demonstration projects of new energy storage in 2021-2024.
Generally speaking, since the 14th Five-Year Plan, the "four beams and eight pillars" of China's new energy storage development policy have been initially constructed, and the new energy storage industry has developed steadily. By the end of 2024, 7.36 million kilowatts of new energy storage have been built and put into operation. New " First, the policy system for the development of new energy storage in China has been continuously improved. A number of policy documents, such as the Notice on Promoting the Grid-connected and Dispatching Application of New Energy Storage, the Action Plan for Accelerating the Construction of New Power Systems (2024-2027), and the Guiding Opinions on Supporting the Innovative Development of New Business Entities in the Power Sector, have been issued successively to improve the power market mechanism and guide scientific development. Second, the application effect of new energy storage has gradually emerged. Compared with 2023, the deployment of new energy storage in 2024 has increased significantly, and the average annual equivalent utilization hours in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Chongqing, Xinjiang and other provinces (regions) have reached more than 1000 hours, which has become an important means to promote the development and consumption of new energy. During the summer peak period, the new energy storage gives full play to the function of "super charging treasure" and contributes a key force to the power supply during the peak period. Third, the practice of technological innovation has taken a solid step. In 2024, the National Energy Administration released 56 pilot projects of new energy storage, covering more than ten technical routes. Many pilot projects are the first engineering applications in China, showing a diversified development trend in general, effectively promoting breakthroughs in key technologies and equipment of new energy storage. At the same time, 12 new energy storage projects were selected as the fourth batch of supporting projects for the first (set) of major technical equipment in the energy field, providing application scenarios for the first (set) of major technical equipment landing transformation. Fourthly, the standard system continued to improve. In 2024, more than 20 electrochemical energy storage standards were issued and implemented, and a number of standards were established, covering planning and design, access to the grid, operation control, maintenance test, post-evaluation and other links. The construction level of China's new energy storage standard system was further improved.
2025 is the closing year of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the opening year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, and the key year for the continuous breakthrough of new energy storage technology innovation, the gradual improvement of management system and the high-quality development of the industry. The National Energy Administration will conscientiously implement the decisions and arrangements of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, further strengthen the top-level design, carry out the research and compilation of the implementation plan of the new energy storage in the 15th Five-Year Plan, and do a good job in the overall planning of the innovation of the new energy storage technology and the sustainable development of the industry, so as to lay a solid foundation for the good start of the 15th Five-Year Plan. Thank you all! Next, I would like to invite Liu Mingyang, deputy director of the Department of Electric Power, to introduce the situation of power supply in summer this year.
[Liu Mingyang, Deputy Director of the Department of Electric Power]
Hello, friends from the media. Next, I will introduce the power supply situation in summer this year. First, during the summer peak period, the electricity load has repeatedly reached new heights. Since July, the thermal value of the national temperature has been full, the average temperature in most areas is 1 to 2 degrees higher than that in the same period of the year, and the "Meiyu" rainfall in the south and other places has ended, showing a hot and muggy weather. On July 4, 7, 16 and 17, the country's maximum power load hit a record high four times, breaking through 1.5 billion kilowatts, reaching a maximum of 1.508 billion kilowatts, an increase of 0 over last year's maximum load. Up to now, the load of 19 provincial power grids in Jiangsu, Shandong and Guangdong has broken through a record high 46 times.
Second, the power supply in various regions is generally stable. In the first half of this year, more than 200 million kilowatts of newly installed power generation capacity were put into operation nationwide, including 30 million kilowatts of new hydropower, gas power, coal power and other supporting and regulating power sources; three new trans-provincial transmission channels were put into operation, increasing trans-regional transmission capacity by 16 million kilowatts. Since July, more than 10 million kilowatts of new (grid-connected) supporting regulated power supply have been put into operation, and the foundation of power supply has been further consolidated. Since the beginning of summer, all kinds of supporting and regulating power sources should be fully opened, the supply of primary fuels such as coal and natural gas is sufficient, and the national power supply is stable and orderly (only Sichuan took short-term demand response measures during the evening peak period on the 17th), which has withstood the first round of high temperature and heavy load test since the beginning of summer this year.
Third, the power supply in summer is generally guaranteed. During the peak summer period, if multi-regional heat occurs, the national electricity load is expected to exceed 15. It is expected that in early August, there will be a high temperature weather process, such as extreme weather, large-scale continuous high temperature weather, power supply security pressure will further increase. At present, the national power supply is generally guaranteed, and the power supply in some provinces in East China, Central China and South China is tightening during peak hours, but it can be effectively controlled by taking relevant measures.
In the next step, the National Energy Administration will strengthen the monitoring and judgment of the situation of power supply and demand, strengthen the peak power generation capacity of conventional power sources, optimize the allocation of power resources, guide the work of power supply guarantee by one province and one policy, make every effort to ensure that the situation of power supply and demand in summer is controllable and controllable, firmly hold the bottom line of no power cuts, and resolutely ensure people's livelihood. Post complete. Thank you.
[Zhang Xing, Deputy Director of the General Affairs Department]
Thank you, Deputy Director Liu Mingyang. Now let's begin to ask questions. Please ask questions around the content of today's press conference. Before asking questions, please report to the news organization you represent. Voice of
China:
I just mentioned that since the beginning of summer, the power load across the country has repeatedly hit record highs. Under such circumstances, the overall power supply in various regions has remained stable. What specific measures has the National Energy Administration taken to improve the power supply capacity? In order to improve the power supply capacity, we have taken five main measures. Firstly, we should strengthen the monitoring and judgment of the situation of power supply and demand, and guide the work of power supply guarantee by one province and one policy. The National Energy Administration has earnestly implemented the spirit of the instructions and instructions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on guaranteeing power supply, kept a close eye on the key time points of summer peak, continuously improved the daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly information monitoring and reporting mechanism, focused on strengthening the daily monitoring and quarterly research and judgment of the national power supply and demand situation, and monitored the construction of coal-fired power on a monthly basis. To organize relevant local governments and enterprises to carry out the analysis of the situation of power supply and demand in summer and the study of measures to guarantee power supply, formulate one-province-one-policy measures in key areas, and guide local governments to do a good job in guaranteeing power supply.
Second, we should take various measures to urge relevant localities and enterprises to speed up the planning and construction of various types of power sources. We will promote the construction and commissioning of qualified hydropower, new energy storage and new energy sources before the summer peak, and enhance the power supply guarantee capacity. The annual target tasks of supporting power supply construction and start-up are issued, and relevant regions and enterprises are urged to speed up the implementation on the premise of ensuring safety, ensure the construction and commissioning on schedule, and consolidate the foundation of power supply guarantee.
The three is to continuously optimize the allocation of power resources and enhance the ability of mutual aid between provinces. The inter-provincial power transmission channels from Longdong to Shandong, from Hami to Chongqing, and from Ningxia to Hunan, as well as the flexible transfer project of Erlang Power Plant in Guizhou, will be put into operation in the first half of this year, so as to effectively play the role of ensuring power supply during the summer peak period. The approval and construction of inter-provincial flexible power mutual aid projects such as Fujian and Jiangxi back-to-back projects will be continuously promoted, and efforts will be made to put into operation as soon as possible to play an emergency support role.
Fourth, urge enterprises to strengthen the operation and maintenance management of power equipment. Supervise and urge power enterprises to continuously optimize maintenance arrangements, strengthen operation and maintenance, minimize unplanned outage and output obstruction of units, and make every effort to ensure that all kinds of power sources should be fully opened and adjusted during the summer peak period. To guide local and power enterprises to make detailed emergency plans, timely repair and restoration of electricity, and minimize the impact of extreme weather emergencies on people's normal life.
Fifth, we should give full play to the role of market regulation and strengthen the handling of complaints and reports. Give full play to the role of large power grids, large channels and large markets, make full use of the power transmission capacity of trans-provincial and trans-regional channels and the surplus power resources of various regions, and carry out inter-provincial market-oriented transactions at different times and peaks. Give full play to the role of the 12398 energy supervision hotline as a channel for people's livelihood, actively respond to people's livelihood demands, efficiently solve complaints from the masses, punish illegal acts that ignore violations of people's rights and interests in energy use according to law, and fully guarantee the reliable, reassuring and satisfactory use of energy by the masses. Thank you.

Recently, the social attention of green certificates is getting higher and higher. Can you introduce the situation of China's green certificate market in the first half of the year. In addition, with the rapid development of distributed energy in China in recent years, there is an obvious trend for energy-using enterprises to meet the demand for green energy through distributed self-use. What measures has the National Energy Administration taken to issue green certificates for distributed generation projects? In the first half of this year, the State Energy Administration made sustained efforts from both ends of supply and demand to promote the high-quality development of the green certificate market through a series of measures. The supply side will continue to deepen the full coverage of green certificate issuance, improve the electricity collection and reporting mechanism, strengthen the technical support of the national green certificate issuance and trading system, and constantly improve the efficiency and quality of green certificate issuance; improve the closed-loop management of the whole life cycle of green certificates, realize the implementation of the green certificate cancellation mechanism, and further strengthen the authority and uniqueness of green certificates. The demand side focused on expanding the application scenarios of green certificates, steadily promoted the compulsory consumption of green certificates, proposed the proportion of green electricity consumption for more key energy-using industries and used green certificates for accounting; actively guided the voluntary consumption of green certificates, organized a series of activities such as "green certificates into the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" and "green certificates into the Yangtze River Delta", and the concept of green electricity consumption has become increasingly popular. In the first half of the year, the green certificate market showed three characteristics.
First, the green certificate market is well supplied. In the first half of this year, a total of 1.371 billion green certificates were issued nationwide, of which 958 million were tradable green certificates, an increase
over the same period last year. In the first half of this year, a total of 348 million green certificates were traded nationwide, an increase of 118 times over the same period last year, of which 242 million green certificates were traded separately, and green electricity trading corresponded to green certificates.
Third, the transaction price gradually returned to a reasonable level. Since April this year, the construction of China's green certificate market has been accelerating, and the vitality of the green certificate market has been constantly stimulated. In particular, the International Renewable Energy and Electricity Voluntary Consumption Initiative (RE100) has fully recognized China's green certificate, which has promoted the rapid growth of demand for green certificates from all parties, and the price of green certificates has steadily risen, with an average price of 5 yuan per green certificate in the first half of 2025. In June, the average price reached 6.5 yuan per unit, an increase of 4 over the lowest price this year.
In addition, this journalist friend is concerned about the issuance of green certificates for distributed generation projects. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the situation. Since 2023, the National Energy Administration has actively and orderly promoted the issuance of green certificates for distributed power generation projects on the basis of the issuance of green certificates for centralized power generation projects. By the end of June this year, 89.27 million green certificates for distributed power generation projects have been issued, and phased results have been achieved. However, the number of distributed generation projects is huge, and the coverage rate still needs to be improved. In order to coordinate the issuance of green certificates for distributed generation projects, the State Energy Administration, in accordance with the principle of first-try and step-by-step implementation, has explored the issuance of green certificates for distributed renewable energy generation projects in Zhejiang, Henan and Guangdong provinces this year, providing experience for the follow-up promotion throughout the country. The second is to do a good job of electricity data collection, the third is to classify the implementation of green certificate issuance, and the fourth is to standardize the transfer of green certificates.
The Work Program for Issuing Green Certificates for Distributed Renewable Energy Power Generation Projects in Zhejiang, Henan and Guangdong Provinces has been issued recently, and other regions can also refer to the program to promote related work in light of local conditions. That's all, thank you! Since this year, with the joint efforts of all parties, the construction of the national unified electricity market has further improved its quality and growth rate, and has made a series of new progress and achievements, which are embodied in the "four new".
First, new breakthroughs have been made in the normalized electricity trading mechanism across business areas. The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration have established a collaborative working mechanism to guide the State Grid and the Southern Power Grid to set up special working classes, formulate a plan for the normalization of cross-business area trading mechanism, and jointly approve it on July 1 to promote the normalization of cross-grid trading.
Second, the construction of regional power market has stepped up to a new level. On June 28 this year, the Southern Regional Electricity Market was successfully transferred to the trial operation of continuous settlement, realizing the unified and optimal allocation of power resources in many provinces and regions for the first time nationwide. It is the largest centralized and unified electricity market in the world, which is of great significance for building a unified national market and breaking the barriers between provinces. The Yangtze River Delta power market innovatively explores the inter-provincial pumping and storage, Anhui power and green power trading mechanism, and establishes a market management committee in June to contribute to the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta.
Third, the construction of provincial electricity spot market has been accelerated. The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the Notice on Accelerating the Construction of Electricity Spot Market in an All-round Way, which made systematic arrangements for the construction of spot market throughout the year, and formed a good situation of step-by-step and accelerated progress. Among them, Mengxi Power Grid and Hubei Power Grid have been in trial operation for more than one year, and have been put into formal operation in February and June respectively after experiencing the test of new energy development, extreme weather and other scenarios. Shaanxi, Anhui, Liaoning and Hebei Southern Power Grid have entered the trial operation of continuous settlement.
Fourth, new achievements have been made in the basic rules of the electricity market. The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the Basic Rules for the Electric Power Ancillary Service Market and the Basic Rules for the Measurement and Settlement of the Electric Power Market, which means that the preliminary construction of the "1 + 6" basic rules system of the national unified electric power market covering all aspects of the electric power market has been completed. In the first half of
2025, the overall operation of the national electricity market was stable, and the scale of market-oriented electricity trading and the number of market players continued to grow steadily. Each power trading center has completed a total of 2.95 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity traded in the market, an increase of 4.8% over the same period last year, of which, 2.27 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity traded in the market of the State Grid operating area, an increase of 3.3% over the same period last year, and 52.38 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity traded in the market of the Southern Power Grid operating area, an increase of 14.2% over the same period last year; By the end of June, the number of operating entities in the national power market was 973,000, an increase of 23.8% over the same period last year, including 37,000 power generation enterprises and 93 power users.

Since July, sustained high temperatures have occurred in many places in China, driving the rapid growth of electricity load, and new energy storage has made positive contributions to power supply. Among them, Jiangsu, Shandong and Yunnan have successively carried out the new " in the whole province. Next, the State Energy Administration will conscientiously implement the new energy security strategy of "four revolutions and one cooperation", further expand the application scenarios of new energy storage, improve the level of dispatching and utilization, and promote the development of new energy storage. Accelerate the improvement of market mechanism and promote the high-quality development of new energy storage industry. Thank you. [Science and Technology Daily reporter] The peak summer period is the traditional peak season for coal consumption. What is the current situation of coal supply? What measures will the National Energy Administration take next to ensure the coal supply in summer? Since this year, the National Energy Administration has earnestly implemented the decision-making and deployment of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on stable energy supply, adhered to the bottom line thinking, continued to do a good job in the dynamic monitoring and analysis of coal supply and demand and prices, promoted the safe, stable and stable supply of coal, and the overall balance of the coal market is loose. First, coal supply remained stable. Since the beginning of this year, advanced coal production capacity has been released in an orderly manner, pushing coal production to remain stable on the basis of last year's high growth. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the industrial raw coal output from January to June was 2.4 billion tons, an increase over the same period last year. Since July, the average daily dispatching coal output has remained above 12 million tons. According to the data of the General Administration of Customs, coal was imported from January to June. 2. Coal stocks were at a high level. Since the summer peak, coal stocks have continued to increase. At present, coal stocks in power plants nationwide have exceeded 200 million tons and can be used for 30 days. On July 28, the coal storage in the ports around the Bohai Sea and Qinhuangdao Port reached 27.81 million tons and 5.76 million tons respectively, which were at a relatively high level. Three, coal prices are relatively stable. Coal medium and long-term contract prices and spot prices have fallen in varying degrees. In July, the medium and long-term contract price of 5500 kcal steam coal in Qinhuangdao was 666 yuan/ton, down 27 yuan/ton from the beginning of the year. On July 28, the spot price of 5500 kcal steam coal in Qinhuangdao was 646 yuan/ton, and the coal price has remained stable since the summer peak. In the next step, we will thoroughly implement the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, give full play to the role of coal as a "ballast stone" in energy supply, make every effort to ensure the safe, stable and stable supply of coal, strengthen the coordination of supply and demand, promote the smooth operation of the coal market, and effectively guarantee the stable supply of coal during the summer peak period. First, strengthen the monitoring and analysis of supply and demand situation. Regularly dispatch coal production, transportation and marketing, as well as changes in key indicators such as prices and imports, pay close attention to the supply of electricity and coal in key areas such as southwest China, two lakes and one river, and coordinate and solve major problems affecting coal production and supply in a timely manner. Two, we should do a solid job in stabilizing coal production and supply. To guide relevant coal-producing provinces and coal enterprises to continue to do a good job in production organization, scientifically formulate production plans, rationally arrange daily maintenance of equipment, and make every effort to do a good job in coal production and supply. Organize key coal-producing provinces (regions) such as Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang to carry out coal mine production verification, urge enterprises to organize production strictly according to the announcement capacity, strictly prohibit super-capacity production, and maintain a stable and orderly production order. The three is to improve the quality and flexibility of coal supply by combining far and near. Focusing on the five coal supply guarantee bases in Shanxi, West Inner Mongolia, East Inner Mongolia, Northern Shaanxi and Xinjiang, a number of large-scale modern coal mine projects have been approved in an orderly manner to promote the release of high-quality advanced production capacity. Promote the implementation of the coal production capacity reserve system, accelerate the construction of coal mine production capacity reserve projects, and further enhance the elasticity of coal supply. That's all, thank you! Indeed, the frequent occurrence of extreme weather events will have a certain impact on the safe and stable operation of the power system and the reliable supply of electricity. Recently, East China, North China, Northeast China and other places continued to suffer heavy rainfall, causing floods and geological disasters, causing heavy casualties and property losses in Beijing, Hebei, Jilin, Shandong and other places. General Secretary Xi Jinping gave important instructions on flood control, rescue and disaster relief work, and Premier Li Qiang gave instructions. The National Energy Administration attaches great importance to it, and the Party Group of the Bureau deploys arrangements at the first time, and dispatches personnel to Beijing and other places to guide power enterprises to do a good job in repairing power. At present, 702 hydropower dams in the national power system and under the supervision of our Bureau are running smoothly. Since this year, our Bureau has closely tracked the disaster weather process, guided the power industry to strengthen disaster monitoring, early warning and prevention response, and minimized the impact of extreme weather on the power system by strengthening early warning, equipment upgrading, emergency response and other measures. According to the power reliability data in the first half of this year, the overall power supply in China remained stable, and the power system and equipment continued to operate safely and steadily, which provided a strong guarantee for the safe and reliable power supply. In terms of power generation, the unit is in stable operation. In the first half of the year, the equivalent availability coefficient of coal-fired units included in the power reliability statistics of major power generation enterprises was 92.12%, an increase of 0.68 percentage points over the previous year, and the average utilization hours were 1961.31 hours, a decrease of 166.29 hours over the previous year; The equivalent availability coefficient of conventional hydropower units included in the power reliability statistics is 92.93%, a year-on-year decrease of 0.27 percentage points, and the average utilization hours are 1631.61 hours, a year-on-year decrease of 7. In terms of power transmission and transformation and DC system, it shows the characteristics of "four rises and one fall". Among them, the availability coefficient of 220 kV and above transformers in the national power grid was 99.6%, up 0.29 percentage points year-on-year; the availability coefficient of circuit breakers was 99.81%, up 0.05 percentage points year-on-year; The availability factor of overhead lines was 99.71%, representing a year-on-year increase of 0. The total energy availability of 51 HVDC transmission systems included in the power reliability statistics was 97.09%, representing a year-on-year increase of 2. The total number of forced outages of HVDC transmission systems was 6, representing a year-on-year decrease of 10. In terms of power supply, the duration and frequency of blackouts continue to "double decline". In the first half of the year, the average reliability rate of power supply in China was 99.948%, the average outage time of users was 2.25 hours per household, a decrease of 1.24 hours per household, and the average outage frequency of users was 0.90 times per household, a decrease of 0. Among them, the average outage time of urban users was 0.55 hours per household, and the average outage frequency of users was 0.24 times per household; The average power outage time of rural users is 2.53 hours/household, and the average power outage frequency of users is 1. Next, the National Energy Administration will do a good job in ensuring people's livelihood energy consumption, continue to strengthen power reliability management, and make every effort to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system and reliable power supply.
