The shortage of electricity in some regions of the country has reached such an extent that even industrial production and people's livelihoods are already impacted by it.
For instance, 14 cities in Liaoning province, a national heavy industry base in Northeast China, have started rationing the supply of electricity.
有网友表示，停电已持续了3天，并且时间越来越早，手机也没有信号。也有网友提到，因为停电导致城市主干道的红绿灯无法正常运行，部分商铺只能点蜡烛营业。
Although the power suppliers were required to spare no effort to ensure the power supply to residential communities, hospitals, schools, telecommunications and public transport, some neighborhoods have had their electricity and water cut off, and even traffic signals and elevators have stopped working.
9月27日，针对当前供电形势，国家电网公司表示，将全力以赴打好电力保供攻坚战，保障基本民生用电需求，最大可能避免出现拉闸限电情况。
State Grid Corp of China, a state-owned enterprise, addressed the issue of electricity limits and said it will try its utmost to safeguard the bottom line of people's livelihoods, development and safety on Monday.

据《经济参考报》，煤炭价格高企等多因素导致电力供需缺口。
专家指出，当前火电仍然占据我国电力大半壁江山，在上游煤炭价格上涨、下游供电价格上调空间受限的背景下，火电企业发电意愿低迷，直接导致电力紧缺。这也是此次多地尤其是北方地区出现电力缺口的主要原因。
The power shortage originates from multiple causes. Due to the price hikes of coal and gas, and the comparatively low electricity price in the country, which is settled by the government, the power plants' profit margins have become smaller and smaller. The elimination of backward coal production capacity and the decrease in coal imports have both driven up the price of coal. Some plants have suspended production to check the fast rise in costs, as the more electricity they generate, the more economic losses they will have to sustain.
部分高耗能产业“西迁”导致电力需求增长过快也是原因之一。厦门大学中国能源经济研究中心教授孙传旺指出，青海、云南、广西等地存在巨大的电力供需缺口，不仅造成当地电力紧张，也对西电东送产生影响。

第三方面原因在于经济复苏、订单增长导致了用电需求增长。
The economy has developed rapidly and the demand for electricity has increased significantly in the past months.
各地也有一些其他不同的原因。“东北的情况比较特殊。”有专家分析称，东北地区使用大量风电，由于天气原因，近几日风速较低，风电发电量骤降。同时，煤炭储备大都在准备供暖，火电厂出力不足。此外，东北老工业基地大多是重工业，基本上有自备电厂，这导致国网东北分部调度掌握的工业用电占比不够大，切负荷能力有限。
