At 15:39 on July 15, the maximum electricity consumption load of the Shanghai power grid reached 42,216 million kilowatts, an increase of 57,000 kilowatts over last year's high of 42,159 million kilowatts, a record high. The concentrated release of air conditioning cooling loads has become the primary driver driving up the load on the power grid. According to estimates, the cooling load of air conditioners accounts for about 44% of the city's total load. This is the 5th high temperature day this year, and it is also the second time since this week that the electricity consumption load has broken through the 40 million kilowatt mark.
