From 22 to 23, Li Keqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Premier of the State Council, inspected Shanghai.
Li Keqiang inspected Waigaoqiao No. 3 Power Generation Company. He said that electricity is the driving force of economic operation, and measures must be taken to ensure the people's livelihood and the normal production and use of electricity by enterprises. Power generation companies must fulfill their social responsibilities and make more contributions under the premise of safe production. Governments at all levels should further strengthen their support, including implementing the state’s tax reduction policies for coal-fired power companies, doing a good job of coordinated dispatch, ensuring a stable supply of electricity and coal, solving power shortages in some localities, and preventing new “power curtailment and production shutdowns”. Based on the basic national conditions of my country's energy endowment dominated by coal, make good use of the country's new special re-lending policy, promote mature and advanced technologies that improve energy efficiency, promote clean and efficient use of coal, and promote green and low-carbon development.
