, ‘Analysis suggests that the highest power demand of the summer will occur next week as the recent rainy season has essentially ended, and hot weather continues.’,
,
, “On the 1st, Deputy Minister Choi Nam-ho of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy presided over a ‘Summer Power Supply Situation Inspection Meeting’ at the KEPCO Art Center in Seocho-gu, Seoul. Deputy Minister Choi re-examined the response measures for power peak hours and instructed relevant organizations to prepare thoroughly for monitoring and responding to the power situation without any gaps. Furthermore, he also conducted an emergency on-site inspection, including inspecting the facilities at the core power facility in the metropolitan area, the Sinyangjae Substation.”,
,
, ‘Deputy Minister Choi urged on-site personnel to ensure full preparedness for generator and transmission/distribution facility management during peak power hours and to take thorough precautions to prevent accidents.’,
,
, ‘The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy forecasted that the highest power demand of the summer is likely to occur between 5 and 9 pm from the 5th to the 9th of the month. This is because as the concentrated summer vacations in the industry end from late July to early August and the operating rates recover, there could be a rapid increase in power demand. Additionally, it is expected that the cumulative heat wave and humid weather will lead to peak cooling demand during this period.’,
,
, ‘Last year, on August 7th, the power demand hit 93.6GW (gigawatts), setting a record for the highest summer demand ever. Power authorities are expecting a similar surge in power demand compared to last year during the same period. Thus, the authorities are conducting inspections of substations and other critical infrastructure, re-examining power supply response measures, and making necessary preparations.’,
