Small And Medium-Sized Shoe And Clothing Enterprises Seek &Nbsp, And Deal With The Power Shortage Continuously.

July 6th, the southeast coast of China footwear clothing manufacturing industry is densely distributed, Taizhou, Zhejiang is China's private sector Economics The manufacturing industry of shoes and garments has always been the main force of development. With the gradual tightening of the macro-economic environment and the continuous increase of various production and operation costs such as labor, capital and raw materials, the export of industrial products is facing many uncertain factors. The pressure of production and operation of small and medium-sized shoe and clothing enterprises in Taizhou has increased significantly, and some traditional labor-intensive enterprises have been unable to continue.

Year in and year out, power restriction sluice is undoubtedly a "plus" for small and medium-sized shoe and clothing enterprises.

According to the usual practice, electricity shortage will usually be highlighted in 7-8. But this year, the power supply gap suddenly moved forward. In late March, the Jiaojiang District of Taizhou has launched an orderly electricity consumption plan for every Monday's "round the clock to avoid the peak". In a single district of Jiaojiang, there are only 200-300 enterprises limited to network electricity every day. The policy of "opening five limit two" is fully advanced 3 months. A large number of enterprises have to face the power restriction measures such as "three stops one", "weekly stop two" or even "one stop one" at the beginning of spring.

But the situation in 2011 seems to be more exciting. The "Jiaojiang District orderly electricity utilization plan", which has just been formulated, shows that the largest power supply gap in one area of Jiaojiang has reached 30 thousand -4 kilowatts in 2011. It is estimated that the maximum power load will be 380 thousand kilowatts in 2011, a net increase of 40 thousand -5 kilowatts compared with 2010. Under normal circumstances, it is estimated that the net power supply and distribution quota of Jiaojiang will be about 300 thousand -32 kilowatts, and the Jiaojiang thermal power plant can generate 10 thousand kilowatts, and the supply gap of the summer peak Jiaojiang will be about 60 thousand -7 kilowatts. If there is a continuous high temperature or generator failure, the gap may increase to 70 thousand -9 kilowatts!

"Now, instead of placing orders, we dare not take orders. Labor shortage Without thorough relief, it is difficult for ordinary workers to recruit; on the other hand, the electricity restriction is sluice, and the factory can not operate normally. Insiders say. Afraid of no order, I'm afraid to pull your electricity. This is the common feeling of many local shoe and clothing enterprises.

Standing at the gate of the factory in Zhejiang shoes shoes manufacturing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Watts"), I see that a 6 storey workshop with a large fan outside each window is running. The new paved concrete road beside the old factory area has not been dried yet, and the new workshop is being painted. On the face of it, the business seems to be not affected by the power restriction, and everything is functioning normally.

At first glance, the development of Watts did not slow down because of the "electricity shortage". Fortunately, the energy consumption industry of Wanchang shipyard is at least able to generate electricity when it is limited by electricity.

"We are not receiving orders now. We have received many lists last year. But in March and April this year, the electricity was cut off, and the products were too late to rush out. " Miss Xu, the accountant of the finance department, told the author.

As a Sino foreign joint venture, the shoe shoe industry specializes in the production of high and low grade sports shoes. It is the world's largest supplier of footwear products to Wal-Mart Store Inc. The growth of watts output value can be seen from the electricity consumption of enterprises: in January - May, the electricity consumption of enterprises was 1 million 210 thousand kilowatts, an increase of 57 thousand and 600 kilowatts compared with the same period last year. The total industrial output value of the same period also increased by 26 million 970 thousand over the previous year.

The financial manager was worried. Order If we fail to deliver the goods, we will pay the penalty. A fine of several million dollars is normal. Last year, our output value was 210 million (equivalent to US $about 30000000). So far this year, our output value is close to 1 hundred million (RMB), and the output value of this year is expected to be more than 300 million (equivalent to US $about 50000000). Now that the electricity is limited, we can build our own power. If summer comes to a peak, it will be difficult to sustain itself by generating electricity on its own. "

Outside the workshop of watts, there is a temporary cement house about 20 square meters, accounting Miss Xu pointing to it: "this is the generator, 1200 watts, bought last year, about about 1000000, and now we can deal with it."

The workshop of "Watts" is divided into cutting, sewing and molding. In addition to less power consumption and independent operation, other pipelines must be operated at the same time to ensure the integrity of the process. "Although they are all made by hand, sulfur addition, mould proofing, dehumidification, oven and so on are all in order. In the past year, we had to rely on our own power generation to limit the electricity, but this year's output value has increased. In July and August, we did not know whether it could survive. "

Miss Xu made a rough calculation: the cost of generators is relatively high, generally 10 hours, the cost of diesel is 1000 yuan, and the cost of electricity for every 1 kilowatt hours is almost 5 yuan, which is 1 times higher than that of Guodian. The rising operating costs make enterprises overburdened. In order to reduce costs, some factories only use generators when they are busy and fail to use generators. Miss Xu said, "our company is all export orders. If we do not make progress according to the order, we will not be able to compensate for the breach of contract, and the reputation of the company will also be damaged." Many business people complain that even if the electricity is limited, enterprises will not be able to stop production, not only for workers, but also for long-term business and preventing orders from default. Diesel power generation is an inevitable way to save itself, but the pollution caused by diesel power generation is contrary to the original intention of energy conservation and emission reduction.

How to jump out of the "electricity shortage" strange circle, the solution seems to have only one price increase. Despite the enormous pressure, the power generation companies will be glad to win the initiative in the game.

In the reality that the contradiction between power supply and demand can not be solved, shoes and clothing enterprises are obviously the first to bear the brunt. When the "electricity shortage" is a foregone conclusion, how to find out a small number of shoes and clothing enterprises in Taizhou in a series of "shortage" and "panic" is a big topic hidden behind the lack of electricity and production.
