Gu Nanfeng, assistant chief engineer of China Southern Power Grid, has stated that China's Guangxi Province is suffering from its most serious power shortage in the past two decades.
Power generation of Guangxi Province stands at nine million kWh, including 2.5 million kWh of hydroelectric power, 5.5 million kWh of thermal power and one million kWh of power imported from other provinces. However, the power demand of Guangxi totals 13 million kWh, with the power supply shortage thus reaching almost four million kWh.
