The State Grid Corporation of China on Sunday said the supply and demand of power in areas operated by the company have returned to normal. The thermal coal inventory in the company's operating area has rebounded to 99.32 million tons, while the available days of consumption have risen to 20, the company said. The scale of power curbs and the electricity gap have been significantly reduced, it said, adding as of Saturday, the power supply to some factories with high energy consumption and high pollution in certain provinces was still limited. The grid will face an "overall tight balance of power with gaps in partial areas" this winter and coming spring as the country faces a power consumption peak and a drought season for hydroelectric power.
国家电网11月7日表示，截至11月6日，除个别省份、局部时段对高耗能、高污染企业采取有序用电措施外，其经营区域电力供需形势恢复常态。公司经营区电煤库存回升至9932万吨，电煤可用天数回升至20天。有序用电规模明显减少，电力缺口明显缩小。国家电网新闻发言人蒙海军说，今冬明春还将出现用电高峰期，叠加水电枯水期，全网将呈现"总体紧平衡、局部有缺口"的局面。

State Grid will increase and stabilize the power supply by tapping the potential of all kinds of resources while closely tracking thermal coal and gas supply and coordinating power transmission across different regions to ensure safety of the grid, said Meng Haijun, spokesperson with the State Grid. The company will strive to ensure power supply for households, public services and key customers, Meng said.
