Last week, total power demand reached a record high, and high demand is expected again this week. However, with reserve capacity exceeding 10GW, the power supply is expected to remain stable.
According to the Korea Power Exchange's report on the weekly power supply and demand performance and outlook for the first week of August, the anticipated power demand from August 10 to 14 is projected to be between 92.9 and 96.7GW.
During the same period, the supply capacity is expected to be between 106.9 and 107.5GW. This results in a reserve capacity of 10.3 to 14.4GW, with a reserve ratio estimated at 10.7 to 15.5%.
From August 3 to 7, power demand ranged from 91.1 to 95.3GW, with total demand recorded between 97.3 and 104.4GW.
Notably, on August 7 at 3 PM, total demand reached 104.4GW, surpassing the previous record of 104.2GW set on August 25 of last year. At that time, power demand was 95.3GW, and supply capacity was 103.6GW. The reserve capacity was 8.3GW, with a reserve ratio of 8.7%, indicating stable power supply despite high demand.
