Since the beginning of this year, energy prices in the international market have risen sharply, and domestic power and coal supply and demand have continued to be tight. Various factors have led to power cuts in some places recently, which have affected normal economic operations and residents' lives.
The executive meeting of the State Council held today further made arrangements for the supply of electricity and coal this winter and next spring, ensuring the basic lives of the people and the smooth operation of the economy. Look at the specific deployment:
Guarantee the people's livelihood and heating energy in winter, especially to ensure that the Northeast region uses coal and electricity in winter.
Promote the release of production capacity of potential coal mines and speed up the commissioning of approved and basically completed open-pit coal mines.
The transportation department should give priority to guaranteeing coal transportation.
In response to the difficulties of coal-fired power companies, a phased tax deferral policy has been implemented to guide financial institutions to ensure reasonable financing needs.
Promote all coal-fired power generation to enter the electricity market. Under the premise of stabilizing electricity prices for residents, agriculture, and public welfare undertakings, the fluctuation range of market transaction electricity prices will be adjusted from no more than 10% and 15% respectively to no more than 20% in principle. For high energy-consuming industries, prices are formed by market transactions and are not subject to a 20% rise.
Encourage local governments to implement phased preferential treatment of electricity for small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households.
Promote the construction of large-scale wind power and photovoltaic bases, and make good reserves of coal, gas, and oil.
Resolutely curb the blind development of the "two highs" project.
Improve the local energy consumption dual control mechanism, and promote that new renewable energy consumption will not be included in the total energy consumption within a certain period of time.
All localities must do a good job in orderly management of electricity use, rectify some places where production is cut across the board and restricted or exercised to reduce carbon, and oppose inaction and chaos.
