DEMAND FOR ELECTRICITY HAS EXCEED SUPPLY


In a developing country generator electric supply is very important for the country. In order to achieve the country’s goal, the government must enhance every sector of the country to be stronger and sustainable. For example, in term of economic sector, technology sector and etc….. to drive the country to become a developed country. There had been occurred the shortage of electricity supply due to some industries not getting the electricity supply they need, which shows that the quantity of the electricity user has been increased and the quantity electricity supply still remain the same, that is why the electricity shortage problem occurred. The reason of the quantity electricity user increase is because of the government had been committed to maintain and provide a business environment that provide companies with opportunities for growth and profit. So that, the government hope provide this business environment could able to attract the industries from others country to come in our country to set up their business in our country, therefore it will be able to help our country to build up a stronger economic.

From another perspective, when the shortage of electricity occurs, that brings a lot of effect to the country. Impact of the business community is one of the impact of electricity shortage, there would have increase negative impact on production and business strategy of business community. This is because, many of the industries do not get the electricity supply that they need, therefore they will transfer part of their product from here to another branch industries which at another country. For example, At Japan, Toshiba has been confirmed and is transferring the production of system LSI and micro computer from Lwate  toKyusha. Other than that, shift date centre operation from easten to westen Japan has been planned by the company. So, the supply of the system LSI and micro computer at easten Japan is decreasing and demand still remain the same. In this situation, supply is less than demand which means that the shortage of production of system LSI and micro computer is occurred. When the demand more than supplies, the price of the product will increase, the large amount of people want to buy a small amount of product, so the seller sell the product to the buyer who willing to pay a higher price to buy the product, so it will drive the price to be higher.

Other than that, due to the electricity shortage in our country the amount of food production industries from others countries invest in our country is declining. This is because the food production industries will face the electricity shortage problem and they need to store their food into the refrigerator with a large capacity of electricity to use, but refrigerator will not function without electricity or for some of the industries that already build in our country. They will reduce the quantity of food that they produce to prevent loses due to the not enough electric for food reservation. In case the industries reduce the food production, the supply of the food will be not enough because there is a reduction in food production but food demand still remains the same as previous, so the shortage of food will occur. In addition, food is a necessity goods that everyone need it and cannot survive without food, so when the price of the necessity good increase but the income still remain the sameit will bring a huge burden and effect toward consumer. Other than that, some of the industries might consider to move out to another country due to the electricity problem. In case they move to another country, the industries will bring the talent go along. The industries will provide all the necessity to the talent, so the talent will try to immigrate and work with the industries, therefore the shortage of the talent in our country might be occured. For example, PuaKheinSeng is Malaysian and also pen drive inventor, but he has a very successful business at Taiwan.

However, the shortage of electricity also will bring an impact toward the citizen in the country. Due to the over demanded of the electricity in the industries, there has been concern by many people. The country’s electricity per capital would increase as a country positioned itself as a developed nation. Which means that, the price of the electricity must goes up, if the price of the electricity goes up it will add more burden to the citizen. To be a developed country, the price of the electricity goes up but it is unchangeable with the monthly income, so the amount of the electricity fees that need to pay is increase. For the family who have a low income, increase the price of electricity will cause them hard to survive.

Electricity shortage bring a lot of inconvenience to us, thus we need to find another technology to generate electric to solve the shortage of electricity as fast as possible. From my opinion, the wind power is the power generator that most suitable for us to use, wind power provide a lot of advantage than others electric generator. The first advantages are the wind that uses to turn the wind turbine is free and it is also with the modern technology it can be captured efficiently. Second, when the wind turbine is built the energy it produced does not cause green house gases or others pollutants and although the wind turbines is very tall but it only take up a small pot of land, so the land that below still can be use especially in agriculture area as farming can still continue. Hence, many people find wind farm an interesting feature of the landscape. Third, the people who live at the remote area that are not connected to the electricity power grid can use wind turbine to produce their own supply, so the wind turbines have a role to play in both the developed and third world. Last, the wind turbine is available for big range of people and the business to use. For single households to small town it can make a good use of wind turbine. In conclusion, no matter what kind of electric generator we use our objective is only to solve the problem. To overcome the impact that the affect the country.
