Economically robust Guangdong Province in south China is not likely to see a
significant improvement in the supply of energy in the second half of the year.
According to the provincial economic and trade commission, the supply of
electric power and oil products will remain below demand over the next six
months in Guangdong, particularly in the Pearl River Delta.
Wen Guohui, deputy director of the commission, said 35 percent of the
province's total energy consumption is used by air conditioners during
sweltering summer which is the peak season for power
consumption.
