We can see that the mismatch between electricity consumption and power generation data has existed on the mainland for a long time, and it has not only appeared in the last year or two. Statistics show that as early as 2010, the mainland's electricity consumption was already higher than the amount of electricity generated.
The deeper reason for this situation is related to the historical evolution of the mainland's electricity generation and consumption statistics system, which experts point out. Since the reform and opening up, with the rapid growth of the economy, the demand for electricity has surged, and the power grid and power generation in various places are mixed, and it is difficult to unify the statistical caliber and standards. This creates a bias in the data on electricity generation and consumption.
With the deepening of the reform of the power system, the statistical caliber is expected to be further unified in the future, but there will still be a certain gap between the data. Because it is not easy to calculate the electricity consumption such as distributed power supply and self-provided power generation, which is a common problem all over the world.
Ask an expert to explain, electrical appliances are still those appliances, the usage is still the same, what is the problem of the electricity bill after changing the smart meter?
A total of 10 catties of rice were produced, and you ate 15 catties, I don't believe how to explain it
This is the same story as the vegetable seller who bought 100 catties of vegetables but sold 120 catties of vegetables, the only possibility is that there is a shortage of catties and two catties, no matter how you explain it, it is a quibble
Therefore, the public needs to understand this situation correctly and should not over-interpret the data discrepancies. Rather than arguing about which data is higher or lower, we should pay more attention to substantive issues such as the security, economy, and cleanliness of electricity supply. Only by deepening reform and improving the quality of the development of the power industry can we deal with data discrepancies.
