Demand for electricity is expected to surpbad record highs as domestic challenges continue.
The government said that even with increasing demand for electric power, there will be enough power generation facilities to stabilize the electricity supply.
According to the weather forecast, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy announced on the 20th that the demand for maximum electrical energy will reach 88.3 million kW by continuing the heating next week.
The 188.3 million kW is the peak demand for electricity this summer from the summer demand and supply measures announced on the 5th.
The highest peak of this year on February 6 was 82.24 million kW High.
The government expects the maximum demand for electricity this summer to take place during the second and third weeks of August, but the demand for electricity has increased more rapidly provided that.
The industry explained that the rainy season, which usually ends in late July, has ended early this year in 45 years and the heat started early.
The rainy season, which is about 32 days in a normal year, ended on the 16th of this year on the basis of the central region.
The demand for electricity has increased since the heat began on the 13th and has accumulated over the weekend.
Until the day before this week, he renewed his peak demand three times in the summer.
The power reserve was sufficient and the diet was stable.
According to the Ministry of Industry, "Due to the expansion of supply capacity, supply and demand of electricity will be stabilized with more than 10 million kW of power reserve and 11%
According to the Ministry of Industry, reserves temporarily fell to 9.45 million kW on the 16th, after the sudden shutdown of Hanul No. 2 nuclear power plant on the 12th and the demand for power has increased thereafter.
However, the maintenance of Green Power Unit 2 of Samcheon and Bukpyeong Thermal Unit 1 was completed as planned, and the reserve capacity of more than 10 million kW was maintained from the 17th.
If it exceeds 10 million kW, the Ministry of Industry explains that there will be no problems of supply and demand even in situations unexpected such as the sudden failure of a large generator.
On the same day, the Nuclear Safety Commission approved the restart of unit 4 of the Hanul Nuclear Power Plant after regular inspections, and the Hanul 2 unit is expected to restart in August.
Some of them have criticized the fact that the government will run out of nuclear power because it seems to lack power.
The Ministry of Industry reported in the report that "since the nuclear power plant does not mean the closure of the currently operating nuclear power plant, it is natural that the nuclear power plant contributes to the supply of electricity. electricity the same year ".
"The basic principle of stabilizing the supply and demand of power is to prepare all generators to operate as soon as possible after the completion of the generator maintenance there including the nuclear power plant in high season of summer and summer ".
Since nuclear power plants do not stop now but progressively, it is desirable to make full use of the remaining nuclear power plants.
Of the existing nuclear power plants, Only Wolsong Unit 1.
The Ministry of Industry is expected to provide a stable supply of electricity in August by increasing the supply capacity of more than 2.5 million kW by the beginning of the month of April. August when it will complete the maintenance of a coal-fired power station and two
It is expected that the demand for electricity will decrease somewhat from the 27th, when a full holiday season begins.
However, he stressed that he would maintain tension and prepare for the supply and demand of electrical energy in case of emergency such as an unexpected heatwave or a sudden failure of the generator.
