Electricity stocks all rose, with Longyuan Power rising more than 4%. Recently, my country has experienced rare high temperatures. Data shows that in July this year, the national average temperature was 23.2℃, the highest in the same period since 1961, especially in the south, where a large area of continuous high temperatures were encountered. It is predicted that there will be two more obvious high temperature weather processes in my country in early and mid-August. The continuous high temperature "baking" test has led to an increase in power load, which has put a certain pressure on the supply of power. Many places have actively come up with countermeasures to ensure power supply.
