Sichuan urea enterprises respond to the call for blackouts and shutdown Comefrom: CCIN    AddDate:2022-08-24    Hit:923

News of the new network: the reporter learned from China Nitrogenous Fertilizer Industry Association on August 22 that Sichuan province has generally experienced continuous high temperature weather since July. The temperature in some areas has exceeded 40 ℃, resulting in a sharp increase in the use of air conditioners and a sharp increase in the province's electricity demand. Therefore, the urea production enterprises in Sichuan Province have responded to the call by limiting power consumption and reducing power consumption in the peak period of the province's power demand since July, and actively avoiding peak consumption to ensure the power demand of the people's livelihood in the province.

It is understood that as the high temperature continues, on August 8, the State Grid - State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Company issued a letter of thanks to the power customers in the province, thanking the vast number of industrial enterprises and customers for actively fulfilling their social responsibilities, responding to the call to actively avoid peak power consumption, providing power to the people during the peak period of power demand, and demonstrating corporate responsibility.

In response to the call, since August 8, the urea plants of Sichuan Meifeng and other companies have been shut down with power limitation; Other urea plants of some enterprises, such as those of Sichuan Jiuyuan and other companies, have also started to reduce production or take the initiative to stagger peak power consumption, affecting a total daily output of about 2200 tons. Due to the continuous high temperature, the urea plants of Sichuan Jiuyuan and other companies also started to shut down on August 13, while the plants of Lutianhua and Tianhua started to shut down on August 15 in the early morning, and this shutdown was an emergency notice.

After that, in the emergency notice on expanding the scope of power supply for industrial enterprises jointly issued by Sichuan Provincial Economic infomation commission and State Grid, it was mentioned that all production stops (except security load), and high-temperature holidays will be taken to support power supply for the people from 0:00 am on August 15 to 24:00pm on August 20.

As of August 20, almost all urea plants in the region have been shut down, including its downstream compound fertilizer plants. Only a few plants have not been shut down temporarily and are still under negotiation. If all urea manufacturers in the region stop, the daily output will be affected by about 18000 tons. The sharp decline of urea output in the region will significantly inhibit the increase of daily urea output and support the urea market.

According to the reporter's understanding, although the emergency notice limits the power limit period from August 15 to August 20, the high temperature weather continues and the tension between power supply and demand is further aggravated. The Sichuan Provincial Economic infomation commission and State Grid electric power company have issued the emergency notice on expanding the scope of power limitation of industrial enterprises to support residential power, which extends the power limit period from 0:00am from August 20 to 24:00pm on August 25, extending the total time limit to 11 days.
