The Old Saying Goes: The Escalation Of The Electricity Shortage Has Hit The Small And Medium-Sized Shoe Industry Again.

In June 24th, the power shortage in 2011 came earlier.

After the Spring Festival, factories in various places resumed production, and the shortage of electricity supply continued.

China is facing the most serious electricity shortage in eight years, and more than ten provinces, including Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, have taken power restriction measures successively.

First, this year

In the Pearl River Delta, which is concentrated in the footwear industry, some factories are forced to shut down for one to three days each week, which seriously disrupts the normal operation of production, making it harder for enterprises that have been struggling.

About 50% of small and medium enterprises in Dongguan are at risk and may be faced with the possibility of bankruptcy at any time.

Guangdong, a manufacturing concentrated industry, has always been a major power shortage province. The electricity consumption accounts for about 1/10 of the country's total. Guangdong has started the scheme of industrial power consumption peak shifting in Dongguan, Shenzhen and Foshan.

According to the peak load regulation scheme in Dongguan, more than 60% of the town street enterprises implemented "four stops three" last month.

Two, causes and solutions of power shortage

Xu Yongsheng, director of the power division of the State Energy Bureau, said that the lack of enthusiasm for power generation in power plants is only one reason for the shortage of electricity in some parts of the region this year.

The main reason lies in the excessive growth of electricity demand, and also the supply factors such as the decline in hydropower output and the reduction of coal imports.

Xu Yongsheng introduced two major directional policies: first, to inject capital into the power industry; and two, financial institutions to support the power enterprises on the premise of complying with the regulations.

"In Central China, many small and medium-sized power plants are going to stop generating electricity because they have no money to buy coal or they can not afford to lose money, which will make the situation of electricity consumption more severe this summer."

A Hunan Power Co of the State Grid said.

"Especially since this year, monetary policy adjustment has great impact on thermal power enterprises."

Xue Jing, director of the Statistics Department of China electric power alliance, said that since 2010, the central bank's three rate hike is expected to increase the financial cost of thermal power enterprises by around 15 billion yuan.

In addition, the tight supply of loans has further increased the financing difficulties of thermal power enterprises.

Some capital chain strained thermal power enterprises

Three, power restriction is the biggest pressure for SMEs.

Power rationing has little impact on big enterprises, mainly for SMEs.

In 2011, the "electricity shortage" which was ahead of schedule, the peak load shifted more than a month earlier than the same period in previous years, which made many enterprises in Wenzhou unprepared.

"360 thousand small and medium-sized enterprises in Wenzhou have" five knives "on their heads: the power rationing, the appreciation of RMB, the price rise of raw materials, the wage increase and structural adjustment of workers.

Power restriction is the biggest pressure. "

Zhou Dewen, vice president of China SME Association and President of Wenzhou SME Development Association, said.

36 million SMEs in Wenzhou are facing the problem of power restriction.

From the beginning, every 1 days of work must be cut off for 2 to 4 days, and then become "stop 10 to open 5".

In some places in Zhejiang, there are three stops and four, and Dongguan is implementing the power restriction measures of industrial enterprises that "open five stops two".

Although the workers have nothing to do with the power cuts, they must pay wages to ensure their manpower, and do not produce products after purchasing raw materials. The reserves will also increase the cost of enterprises, and the loss of production and production will cause great burden to the enterprises.

Limited power supply can not lead to normal production of enterprises. Many enterprises are afraid to take long orders. They worry that they cannot deliver the goods on schedule when they receive the order. Instead, they have to compensate the other party, which is even worse than no order.

Even if there are enterprises in order to rush to work, they can only use their own diesel to generate electricity, and the cost of generators is relatively high. In general, the cost of oil for 10 hours is 1000 yuan, 1 times higher than that of Guodian.

In order to reduce costs, only factories are busy with power outages before they use generators.

But now the government is strict in managing diesel power generation, and enterprises need to report for approval instead of using them illegally.

Because the construction period can not be guaranteed, many bags and enterprises have lost a lot of foreign orders.

Power rationing has led to a significant decline in factory capacity. Many shoe companies are afraid to take long orders. They worry that they cannot deliver the goods on schedule when they receive the order. Instead, they have to compensate the other party, which is even worse than no orders.

In order to rush to work, some enterprises can only produce diesel power by themselves, though the cost is about twice as high as that of normal electricity.

The relevant officials of the Wenzhou Electric Power Bureau said that the key power users, especially the 50 strong enterprises in the city, should be included in the key areas of power supply to ensure the reliable use of electricity in key projects; all the enterprises with high energy consumption and backward production capacity should implement such plans as power limitation, peak load reduction, and half power consumption, etc., and the power limit indicators should be informed in advance, so that enterprises should be prepared beforehand; the growth oriented high-tech enterprises and new energy enterprises should be protected accordingly, and the optimal power consumption plan should be provided.

"The limited policy of electricity consumption has finally suffered our small and medium-sized enterprises."

Zhang Zhaotu, a general manager of a manufacturing industry in Wenzhou, said, "my business is small in scale, and the registered capital is only several million yuan, which belongs to the object of power restriction.

Last year, our factory was cut off at three days and two days, and the export orders could not be produced on time.

I wanted to find complaints from CCTV and other related media. Later, some friends told me that they had nothing to do with the electric power department, so it was better to dredge up the relationship and let them take care of it.

Although the problem of electricity consumption has been solved, I am still worried that the power supply will be cut off when the electricity peak is used. After all, we are small businesses and do not belong to the care objects. "

Insiders pointed out that SMEs in Wenzhou account for more than 99.9%. Once a large area of power shortage and power outages are cut down, manufacturing enterprises will fall into the development crisis of downtime and production reduction.

Energy saving, emission reduction and power rationing are directly related to the interests of small and medium-sized enterprises. Many owners hope that the government will communicate effectively with them at least in the implementation of the work, explain the working methods and strive for the understanding of enterprises.

The government should pay attention to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, grasp the big and small, and have limited protection, but can not let the small and medium-sized enterprises indulge in no matter, enhance the confidence of enterprise development.
