As summer heat becomes increasingly scorching across many parts of\nthe world, the term \u201cair-conditioning freedom\u201d has become popular in\nChina.<\/p>\n
The term refers to the simple pleasure of stepping into a room,\npicking up the remote control, and enjoying a blast of cool air.\nComfort, delivered precisely when you need it.<\/p>\n
One of the real stories behind that freedom is the ease with which\nthe public can access reliable electricity. Such modern comfort in the\nform of air conditioning would be impossible without China\u2019s stable\npower supply, underpinned by a large-scale, well-planned and\nincreasingly environmentally friendly electricity system.<\/p>\n
Amid this summer\u2019s heat, China\u2019s peak electricity load broke a new\nrecord on 7 August, reaching 1.56 billion kilowatts.<\/p>\n
The country\u2019s power system is operating in a stable and\nwell-coordinated manner. By utilising diversified power generation\ncapacity and interconnected cross-regional transmission corridors, the\ngrid works efficiently to meet surging household and industrial demand,\nensuring a consistent energy supply across the country.<\/p>\n
Since 11 years ago, China has recorded a historic achievement by\ndelivering electricity to every household, ensuring that no citizen is\nleft behind without access to power. As of May 2026, China\u2019s total\ninstalled power generation capacity has reached 4.01 billion kilowatts,\nranking first in the world.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, China continues to actively increase the share of\nrenewable energy in its energy mix. Desert areas are now adorned with\nvast expanses of photovoltaic power plants, hydroelectric power stations\nharness the swift currents of major rivers, and large numbers of wind\nturbines capture the force of strong winds.<\/p>\n
Tens of thousands of kilometres of ultra-high-voltage (UHV)\ntransmission lines have been built to deliver electricity from\ngeneration sites to regions in need.<\/p>\n
Currently, around 62 percent of China\u2019s installed power generation\ncapacity comes from non-fossil sources. This means air conditioning\nunits in China are powered by more clean energy. You can continue to\nenjoy cool air while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions.<\/p>\n
Not one or the other, but both. In its efforts to achieve\n\u201chigh-quality development\u201d, China prioritises the welfare of its people\nwhile building a greener future.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/reliable-power-and-clean-energy-keep-chinese-citizens-cool-1786733426", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
