Hi Benny, what does 拉闸限电 and 频亮缺电红灯 means in the following paragraph:

  湖南的拉闸限电现象并非特例,国家电网公司总工程师赵遵廉向记者介绍,今年夏季以来,福建、浙江等省的拉闸限电工作一直没有断过。进入冬季,由于煤炭供应、天气等其他原因,山西、四川、贵州、上海、河北、广东等省市频亮缺电红灯,电荒再袭华东、华中、华南和西南等地区。

Thanks!

“频亮缺电红灯” means “the red light alert is always on”. When the electricity is not enough or some place is lack of electricity. the red light of the power station will be “on”. That’s why it says"频亮缺电红灯"

Thanks a lot Benny! That is very well explained. I never knew that a red light is turned on when there isn’t electricity. Interesting!
