Electricity Council predicts summer of blackouts

SOME parts of China will experience severe blackouts this summer as the result of electricity shortages, the China Electricity Council said yesterday.

The more developed eastern and southern regions will bear the brunt, followed by north and central China, while northeast and northwest regions are expected to see an electricity surplus, it said.

China has suffered seasonal power shortages in recent decades due to rising electricity use amid breakneck economic growth.
