as of december 1, china energy had generated 1.0023 trillion kwh of electricity in 2021, a record high.
in the first quarter of this year, taking advantage of the good momentum of china鈥檚 economy and based on in-depth analysis and evaluation of the trends of economic development and energy supply, china energy raised the annual target of power generation from previously set 981.8 billion kwh to over a trillion kwh.
to achieve the target, all organizations of power generation under china energy have worked hard to overcome the difficulties from various adverse factors such as the local severe cold waves, unprecedented torrential rainstorms, typhoons, the impact from covid-19 pandemic, tight coal supply, etc. having withstood these tests, the company resumed normal production in the shortest time, and fully guaranteed safe production and stable and reliable power supply. since september, the situation of power supply in northeast china has been grim, posing a challenge to the supply of electricity for domestic use. china energy took full advantage of coal鈥揺lectricity integration, and its coal mines and transportation organizations spared no effort to facilitate power supply in the northeastern provinces. the thermal power units delayed maintenance and optimized the schedule so they could run to their full capacity, with operation rate and load rate both ranking first in the region. these efforts greatly eased the tight power supply situation and won high recognition from the local government.
