India's Power Demand Hits Record High Amid Intense Heatwave

L'essentiel

  • India's peak electricity demand reached a record 270.82 GW on May 21, driven by increased use of cooling equipment during a severe heatwave.
  • The power ministry confirmed demand was successfully met, with coal remaining the primary energy source despite net-zero commitments.

Pourquoi c'est important

India, the world's most populous nation, is experiencing a severe heatwave, leading to record-breaking electricity demand. The country is accustomed to hot weather between April and June, but scientific research indicates climate change is making heatwaves more intense.

(中央社新德里22日綜合外電報導)全球第一大人口國印度的電力部指出,大範圍地區持續遭遇強烈熱浪,尖峰用電需求迭創新高並且「成功滿足」。

法新社報導,電力部在聲明中指出,昨天為「連續第4天出現尖峰用電需求(等效日照時數)達到歷史最高點的情況」。

根據聲明,當地時間昨天下午3時45分,當首都新德里氣溫飆升至攝氏45.3度時,全國尖峰用電需求達到270.82 GW(Gigawatt,百萬瓩),並且「成功滿足」。

電力部表示,「這創下滿足尖峰需求創新高的紀錄」,超越20日創下的265.44 GW紀錄。

電力部昨晚在社群媒體發布聲明指出,「需求激增似乎與冷卻設備使用量增加有關」。

發電結構方面,火力發電(主要為燃煤)占總發電量的62%、太陽能占22%、風力與水力各占5%,其餘則來自其他來源。

印度為全球第3大溫室氣體排放國,雖已承諾於2070年之前實現淨零排放,目前仍高度依賴燃煤發電。

這個擁有14億人口的南亞國家對於每年4月至6月間發生酷暑習以為常。

多年來的科學研究顯示,氣候變遷使得熱浪變得更長、更頻繁而且更為嚴峻。

印度氣象局表示,昨天全國最高溫出現在距新德里東南方約450公里的北方邦(Uttar Pradesh)班達巿(Banda),達47.6度,比本週稍早的48.2度略低。

印度官方紀錄最高氣溫為2016年在拉賈斯坦邦(Rajasthan)費洛帝鎮(Phalodi)測得的51度。(編譯:何宏儒)1150522
