In the summer, provinces and cities have also entered the peak of the “electricity shortage”. The electricity gap in Hunan and Jiangxi continues to expand, and the electricity gap in Hunan Province is now about 4 million kilowatts. In Jiangxi, the electricity gap is about 100 to 1.5 million kilowatts in June, while the electricity gap in East China is not enough. In mid-July, it was about 1,000 to 15 million kilowatts. When entering the peak period of electricity consumption, this gap will surely continue to expand.

In areas such as Hunan, Jiangxi, and East China, where huge power consumption gaps are raging, Inner Mongolia has nearly 70 billion kilowatts of electricity. However, despite the resources of “coal” and “electricity,” Due to the technical flaws, the "coal" and "electricity" that could have played a role in the power shortage can only nest in one place and watch power shortages in other regions.

According to CEC statistics, by the end of February 2011, the total installed capacity of Inner Mongolia’s power generation had ranked first in the country for the first time. The installed capacity of wind power was also the No. 1 in the country, and the amount of electricity sent across the province was more than six consecutive years. Reelected champion. However, because there is not enough grid access to send electricity out of the Autonomous Region, about one-third of the thermal power units in Mengxi Power Grid are now forced to shut down and more than 42% of wind turbines have been abandoned.

The "State Council's Several Opinions on Further Promoting Sound and Rapid Economic and Social Development in Inner Mongolia," announced on June 29th, proposed that in the next five years, the country will support the construction of the new coal-to-to-sand transportation network in Inner Mongolia to the central provinces. The Inner Mongolia Electric Power Transmission Passway was formally incorporated into the overall plan for the construction of the State Grid and priority was given to the construction.

Even if this plan is expected to solve the phenomenon of “electricity power in Inner Mongolia”, it will take a long time. In the five years mentioned in the plan, the country will support the construction of the north coal-to-coast passage and power transmission corridor in Inner Mongolia. However, there is no clear indication of when the construction was successful and when it was possible to transport “coal” and “electricity” externally. In fact, the current situation of co-existence of "electricity shortage" and "electricity power" is, in the final analysis, still the cause of technology. It also reveals the unreasonable structure of China's transmission and distribution network. Of course, to solve this situation, the key issue is the construction of UHV power grids. Technical difficulties are still the most important issue for UHV construction from Inner Mongolia to East China and South China.
