China Net Finance, December 19th Li Chao, spokesperson of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at a press conference in December that currently, the national demand for electricity and gas is at a historically high level. On December 17, the country’s highest electricity load was 1.242 billion kilowatts and gas consumption was 1.423 billion cubic meters, respectively 83 million kilowatts and 108 million cubic meters higher than last year’s peak heating season, setting a record high in the heating season. In order to prepare for strong cold wave weather, the National Development and Reform Commission, together with all member units of the inter-ministerial coordination mechanism for coal, electricity, oil and gas transportation guarantees and relevant localities, have made judgments and preparations in advance before the cold wave comes, strengthened resource coordination and dispatch during the cold wave, and made every effort to increase power , the ability to ensure the peak supply of natural gas, and quickly coordinate to resolve local imbalances, so that the national energy supply can be effectively guaranteed during this cold wave.
The following is a transcript:
reporter:
We have noticed that northern my country is currently experiencing cold wave and low temperature weather. What is the current energy supply situation? Can it guarantee the energy needs of the masses to stay warm during the winter?
Li Chao:
Recently, our country has encountered the strongest cold wave since the beginning of winter this year, with widespread heavy rain and snow in many places, which has had a great impact on energy and power supply and warmth. General Secretary Xi Jinping issued important instructions on the prevention and response to low-temperature rain, snow and freezing disasters. The National Development and Reform Commission immediately held a special meeting to convey learning and implementation. At the same time, it went to relevant central enterprises to dispatch and supervise the power, oil and gas security in a “four non-two direct” approach. In order to ensure supply and warmth, we urgently organize all relevant parties to effectively strengthen disaster prevention and response, carry out inspections and inspections of hidden risks and respond to emergencies, make every effort to improve the supply capacity of coal, electricity, oil and gas, strengthen energy security for people’s livelihood, and implement safe production Responsibility, minimize the impact of disasters, and ensure that the people have a safe and warm winter.
Currently, the national demand for electricity and gas is at a historically high level. On December 17, the country’s highest electricity load was 1.242 billion kilowatts and gas consumption was 1.423 billion cubic meters, respectively 83 million kilowatts and 108 million cubic meters higher than last year’s peak heating season, setting a record high in the heating season. In order to prepare for strong cold wave weather, the National Development and Reform Commission, together with all member units of the inter-ministerial coordination mechanism for coal, electricity, oil and gas transportation guarantees and relevant localities, have made judgments and preparations in advance before the cold wave comes, strengthened resource coordination and dispatch during the cold wave, and made every effort to increase power , the ability to ensure the peak supply of natural gas, and quickly coordinate to resolve local imbalances, so that the national energy supply can be effectively guaranteed during this cold wave.
Judging from the overall situation of ensuring energy supply during this year’s heating season, with the joint efforts of all regions, relevant departments and enterprises, the overall situation of ensuring energy supply across the country has been good since the beginning of winter, with all work being stable and orderly, and the energy needs of the people being well guaranteed. . Specifically: First, energy production and supply are guaranteed. Since entering the heating season, national coal production has remained high; the average daily power generation is 25.56 billion kilowatt hours, a year-on-year increase of 8.7%; natural gas supply is sufficient, with an average daily supply of 1.25 billion cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 5.8%. Second, resource reserves are guaranteed. At present, coal storage in unified power plants across the country remains at more than 200 million tons, which can be used for 26 days. Unplanned outages and blocked output capacity of coal power across the country are at historically low levels for the same period. Natural gas reserve capacity has increased significantly compared with last year, the available gas capacity of underground gas storage and LNG storage tanks is at a high level, and refined oil inventories remain high. Third, energy consumption for people’s livelihood is guaranteed. We will ensure the supply of resources for people’s livelihood in advance and sign mid- and long-term contracts for coal and natural gas for power generation and heating. Urge all localities to effectively assume the main responsibility for ensuring energy consumption for people’s livelihood, and consolidate the direct responsibility of energy supply and heating enterprises to ensure supply.
In the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will continue to conscientiously implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, strengthen overall planning and coordination, consolidate the responsibilities of all parties, effectively do a good job in ensuring energy supply during the heating season this winter and next spring, and make every effort to ensure that the people have a safe and warm winter. .
