China is well prepared this year against any extreme weather.
Last summer, the worst drought in decades dried up parts of the Yangtze River, reducing the amount of electricity that China’s mighty dams could produce. At the same time, heat waves caused power demand from air conditioners to surge. The combination forced officials to shut down factories for weeks in Sichuan province, and industrial activity has been curtailed for months in Yunnan, both hydropower-reliant areas.
The response has been fast, according to Lantau Group’s Mike Thomas and David Fishman. At the end of last year, Sichuan announced it would build a fleet of new gas-fired power plants and more transmission lines connecting the province to neighboring grids. In Guangdong, which relies on imported hydropower from Yunnan, officials unexpectedly approved 17 gigawatts of new coal-fired plants, part of a massive build-out across the country.
“Will China’s approach to future-proofing its grid from future disruptions to generation succeed? We think so,” Thomas and Fishman wrote.
