"There is no end in sight to the decline in European electricity demand." Bloomberg reported that the International Energy Agency (IEA) pointed out in a report released on July 19 that due to the impact of energy price shocks and slowing economic growth, European electricity demand will decline this year. Or it will decline by 3%, down to the level of 2002, and the electricity demand in the United States and Japan will also decline to varying degrees. At the same time, the report predicts that the electricity demand in China and India will continue to rise, which will lead to an increase of nearly 2% in global electricity consumption this year. In particular, China's electricity demand may achieve an annual growth rate of 5.2% in the next two years.   According to a report released by the International Energy Agency, under the impact of energy prices, heavy industries across Europe have shut down on a large scale, and the corporate bankruptcy rate in EU countries has jumped to the highest point since 2015. In the first half of 2023, European electricity demand fell by a record 6% from two years ago, with two-thirds of last year's reduction in electricity consumption being caused by industrial weakness.   "The competitiveness of Europe's energy-intensive industries is threatened by soaring energy costs, and the road ahead is not smooth." The International Energy Agency warned that although global energy prices have retreated from last year's record highs, European industrial output has remained stable. Lag, seriously affected the industrial competitiveness of Europe. The report noted that under the influence of overseas subsidy policies such as the US "Inflation Reduction Act" (IRA) and Japan's "Green Transformation Promotion Act", European factories have fallen into the predicament of reducing production or shutting down, and industrial investment is also facing stagnation or transfer.   EU-wide industrial output fell by 1.3% between February 2022 and March 2023, Euronews cited the latest figures from the European Union's statistics agency. Germany has been more affected. In May this year, German industrial output fell by 0.2% month-on-month, which was lower than market expectations, raising concerns about a long-term recession. German industrial giants like BASF and Volkswagen have cut domestic production and are looking abroad.   For example, in China, BASF's integrated base project in Zhanjiang, Guangdong has officially started production. BASF also announced in July that it will build a new offshore wind farm with Chinese partners. On May 30, Volkswagen Group and Hefei Economic Development Zone jointly signed an agreement to invest 1 billion euros to establish an electric vehicle development, innovation and procurement center in Hefei.   The report of the International Energy Agency also predicts that, except for Europe, electricity consumption in the United States and Japan will decline: the electricity demand in the United States is expected to drop by nearly 2% this year, and Japan will drop by 3%.   In response to the current plight of European industry, the International Energy Agency stated that the EU can increase state aid or increase energy price subsidies, but this may bring burdens to consumers and taxpayers. Another option is to step up support for renewable energy to power green heavy industry, but that could come with high upfront costs. The agency predicts that by 2024, renewable energy will account for more than one-third of global electricity generation.   Under the trend of global carbon neutrality, energy saving and emission reduction have become the top priority of the whole planet. At present, boilers and heat pump systems are the most used in family life in the European market. In many cases, household electricity is used Losses are often higher than we expect. According to research data, the current unnecessary loss of household electricity consumption is as high as 37%, which not only brings a burden to the power system, but also generates many unnecessary bills. Therefore, many smart devices have been derived on the market to reduce these unnecessary losses. For example, thermostats are currently the most used in Europe. At present, almost 80% of households will install different types of thermostats, such as mechanical thermostats, smart thermostats, wifi remote control thermostats, programmable digital thermostats, etc. Etc., there are many kinds. Choosing a suitable thermostat can indeed reduce household bills. According to survey statistics, the energy-saving efficiency of smart thermostats can reach 22%.

May marked a milestone in the EU's transition to clean energy when solar panels generated more electricity than all coal-fired power plants in the bloc for the first time. The frantic expansion of solar power promises to displace fossil fuels, but the breakthrough has also exposed flaws in the energy system. On some of the sunniest days in May, electricity prices turned negative as grid operators struggled to cope with the surge. While solar power is a quick solution to the energy crisis triggered by Russia's squeezed natural gas supply in 2022, the downside is that the technology is best during times when solar resources are abundant, as demand is usually low. Systems that store the energy in batteries or by generating green hydrogen aren't advanced enough to keep summer sunlight lit at night or heat homes in winter. The solar boom and adjustment risks are most evident in the Netherlands. With more than 100 megawatts of solar panels per 100,000 inhabitants, the Netherlands is twice as many as Spain and more than three times as many as China, by far the world leader in total solar capacity. The Netherlands claims to have the densest solar network on Earth, thanks in large part to longstanding government support. The program rewards homes that install solar panels, with each watt of electricity generated offsetting energy bills. The Dutch government did this to incentivize solar panels, but it has been a bit too successful, said Jorritde Jong, a spokesman for Dutch grid operator TenneT, which has seven rooftop solar panels and accounts for at least 80 percent of its annual household electricity consumption. . The Dutch government plans to change the system from 2025. Under the new rules, households that send electricity back to the grid will be able to deduct a reduced amount from their annual bills. Producers will only benefit from the electricity they actually consume until 2031 and will not be compensated for any excess. All over Europe, people are following the Dutch example. EU solar panel installations have accelerated since the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In May, production was up 10% from the previous year, reaching a record 27 TWh. Solar energy has the key advantage of being fast to install compared to wind, hydro or geothermal energy. All it takes is an incentive for homeowners or real estate companies to turn their rooftops into mini energy parks. But the grid is built around large generators that work in tandem with grid operators to keep the network balanced. A more distributed system is harder to manage and will be tested this summer. While record solar and wind production has helped to phase out coal and gas plants at an alarming rate by 2023, the EU is still a long way from meeting its goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Better coping with the ebb and flow of renewable energy generation will require a new kind of flexibility in the power system, not necessary when all the electricity comes from a few giant fossil fuel and nuclear power plants that can be built according to demand Turn it up or down. There are various ways to adapt. Batteries connected to the grid can use power during the sunniest or windiest parts of the day to sell when renewable energy production is low. Consumers can also be incentivized to use electricity during peak production periods. This is especially important as more electric vehicles hit the road and homes switch from traditional boilers to heat pumps. Under the trend of global carbon neutrality, energy saving and emission reduction have become the top priority of the whole planet. At present, boilers and heat pump systems are the most used in family life in the European market. In many cases, household electricity is used Losses are often higher than we expect.
