... weather this summer is breaking new records in the energy sector and underscoring the importance of renewable energy sources (RES). In July, China recorded record load on its energy system: peak electricity demand reached an all-time high of around 1.5 TW (1.5 billion kW). This level is linked to extreme heat and widespread use of air conditioning. However, solar power plants contributed about half of the increase in electricity generation in China, and hydroelectricity also increased generation compared ...

... setting new records in the electricity sector and emphasizing the importance of renewable energy sources (RES). In China, unprecedented demand on the energy system was recorded in July: peak electricity consumption reached a historic maximum of about 1.5 TW. This level was driven by extreme heat and massive use of air conditioning. Nevertheless, a significant share of the production increase was achieved thanks to solar power plants, along with increased generation at hydroelectric power stations compared ...

... condition of electrical networks and the role of renewable energy sources (RES) to the forefront. In China in mid-July, a record load on the energy system was recorded: total electricity consumption reached an unprecedented 1.5 billion kilowatts (1.5 TW) during peak hours. This figure is a historic maximum for the country, driven by extreme heat affecting over 200 million people in southwestern and eastern China. Local temperatures felt like +50°C at times, which forced air conditioners to work at ...
