National Energy Work Conference Held in Beijing in 2012

The 2012 National Energy Work Conference was held in Beijing on January 10. Liu Tienan, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and director of the Energy Bureau, said at the meeting that the focus of energy work in 2012 is to implement the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, orderly start major energy projects, ensure the total amount of energy production, and strengthen the construction of key energy production bases. We will strengthen the construction of energy transmission channels and strengthen the building of oil, natural gas, and coal reserves.

Liu Tienan pointed out that 2011 is the beginning of the 12th Five-Year Plan. The energy system conscientiously implements the decision of the State Council and the State Council, and in accordance with the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee and the requirements of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, actively promotes changes in energy production and utilization methods, and scientifically plans energy development during the “12th Five-Year Plan”, strengthening Supply security capacity building, vigorously adjust the energy structure, promote energy science and technology innovation and institutional innovation, make overall plans for “two overall situations” and use “two kinds of resources” to ensure that energy supply and demand are generally stable. Over the past year, in the face of complex energy situations such as the excessively rapid growth of energy demand, the drastic decline in hydropower output caused by historical drought, and the constraints of institutional and institutional factors, efforts have been made to effectively protect the two sections, the spring plowing, the Three Summers, and the peak of the Yingfeng. The energy supply in key periods such as summer and peak winter has effectively supported the growth of the national economy by more than 9%, and has made a positive contribution to the good start of the 12th Five-Year Economic and Social Development.

In 2011, China's energy supply support capacity has improved significantly. The annual new coal production capacity was 95 million tons, and the production of 14 large coal bases reached 3.2 billion tons. The new installed capacity of electric power was 90 million kilowatts, and the total installed capacity of electric power in the country reached 1.05 billion kilowatts. Accelerate the construction of transmission channels, Ningdong-Shandong ±660 kV DC demonstration project put into operation, Suidong East to Huainan-Shanghai exchange UHV power transmission demonstration project, Yunnan Pu'er-Guangdong Jiangmen ±800 kV DC UHV transmission project Construction has started.

2011 was a year of rapid development of renewable energy and new energy. The installed capacity of hydropower reached 230 million kilowatts, and the scale of construction was 55 million kilowatts. The new start-up Zhaduo and other 9 large-scale hydropower stations have an installed capacity of 12.6 million kilowatts. The added capacity of wind power grid connection is 16 million kilowatts, which has reached 47 million kilowatts; the annual power generation capacity is 80 billion kilowatt-hours, an increase of over 60% over the same period of last year. Photovoltaic power generation grew strongly, with an installed capacity of 3 million kilowatts, more than three times the previous year.

In 2011, it was a year to carefully plan long-term energy development. Eighteen plans for energy science and technology, coalbed methane, electricity, coal, oil refining, natural gas, renewable energy (including hydropower, wind power, solar energy, biomass energy), shale gas, coal deep processing demonstration, etc., reviewed by the Directorate General of the National Energy Administration Adoption has been or will be promulgated and implemented. We have made important progress in rationally controlling total energy consumption, unified our thinking, formed consensus, and initially formed a work program. Increase investment in energy research, set up the third batch of 21 national energy R&D centers and key laboratories, the first batch of 13 energy application technology research and engineering demonstration projects and research projects, and obtain a number of major achievements in energy science and technology progress and major equipment localization. Achievements.

In 2011, it was a year in which the people's livelihood energy project made positive progress. The first national rural energy work conference was convened, and the annual investment in the reconstruction and upgrading of rural power grids was 65 billion yuan, benefiting more than 1,800 counties. Solved the problem of electricity consumption in more than 600,000 people in remote areas. Strengthen the energy construction of ethnic minorities and border areas, the Qinghai-Tibet DC interconnection project was put into trial operation, the South-Jiangxi oil and gas-for-profit project, Sichuan Wenchuan, Qinghai Yushu and other disaster-stricken areas all achieved positive progress in power construction. Arrange for 10 million kilowatts of cogeneration projects to meet the winter heating demand of 8 million people.

In 2011, China accelerated the implementation of the “going out” strategy and achieved new results in offshore oil and gas exploration and development. New progress was made in the construction of oil and gas strategic channels. The first phase of the Sino-Kazakh crude oil pipeline works smoothly. China-Russia crude oil pipelines have reached an annual design volume. China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline progressed smoothly. The C-line of the Central Asia Natural Gas Pipeline accelerated its preparatory work. The Kazakhstan-China Natural Gas Pipeline South Line Project was formally opened for welding, benefiting 5 million people along the route. This is also a model project for me to implement the “going out” strategy and pay attention to and improve the local people’s livelihood in resource countries.

Liu Tienan pointed out that the overall requirements for energy work in 2012 are to fully implement the spirit of the 17th National Congress of the Party and the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th plenary sessions of the 17th CPC Central Committee, guided by Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important idea of ​​"****". In-depth implementation of the scientific concept of development, conscientiously implement the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference and the deployment of the national development and reform work conference, in accordance with the overall work of the "steady progress," the overall tone, combined with the actual work of energy, so that "three stable three." "Three stabilizations" means ensuring a steady increase in the total amount of energy production, providing a stable energy guarantee for stable and rapid economic development, and ensuring that the energy market supply and demand and prices are basically stable. The "three advances" are actually making real progress in adjusting the energy structure, improving the energy processing conversion efficiency, and establishing a safe and stable economic clean modern energy industry system. They have made substantial progress in properly controlling total energy consumption and improving energy efficiency. In recent years, we have made tangible progress in promoting innovation in energy science and technology and innovation in institutional mechanisms.

Liu Tienan stressed that in order to provide effective energy security for the economic and social development goals proposed by the Central Economic Work Conference, it is necessary to implement the overall requirements for this year's work and focus on the following eight tasks:

The first is to strengthen the building of energy supply support capabilities. Optimize the layout of energy development, implement the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, orderly start major energy projects, ensure the total amount of energy production, strengthen the construction of key energy production bases, strengthen the construction of energy transmission channels, and strengthen the reserve capacity of oil, natural gas, and coal. . In 2012, the new coal production capacity was 200 million tons, and the newly added power generation capacity was about 70 million kilowatts.

The second is to promote energy structure adjustment. Actively develop hydropower under the premise of ecological protection and resettlement. In 2012, the scale of new hydropower projects will reach 20 million kilowatts. On the basis of ensuring safety, the company will develop nuclear power in an efficient manner, and quickly implement the "Nuclear Power Safety Plan" and "Nuclear Power Medium and Long-Term Development Adjustment Plan" after it is compiled and submitted for approval. Promote the coordinated development of the natural gas industry, achieve rapid growth in domestic production, and vigorously develop unconventional natural gas. We will actively and orderly develop wind power and organize the implementation of the construction plan for the second batch of wind power projects with a scale of 15-18 million kilowatts during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period. Actively develop solar energy and organize the implementation of the first batch of development plans with a scale of 3 million kilowatts during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period.

The third is to deepen and expand international energy cooperation. Actively conduct dialogues and exchanges, strengthen pragmatic cooperation with key countries and regions, and do a good job of macroscopic guidance and services for international energy cooperation. Adhere to the principle of equality and mutual benefit and deepen cooperation in the upstream and downstream areas, resources and non-resources, investment and trade.

Fourth, actively promote energy science and technology and institutional innovation. Accelerate the construction of a four-in-one energy science and technology innovation system of "major technological research, major technical equipment, major demonstration projects, and technological innovation platforms." Efforts were made to crack down on institutional and institutional obstacles, paying more attention to the top-level design and overall planning of the energy system reform, researching and proposing reform ideas and plans, and making every effort to achieve new breakthroughs in key areas and key links.

The fifth is to strengthen the construction of people's livelihood energy projects. In 2012, 600,000 people will have to solve the problem of power consumption without electricity, and the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” will strive to comprehensively solve the problem of 5 million people without electricity. We will vigorously promote rural energy development, arrange for a total investment of 65 billion yuan in the budget of the central government, and continue to implement the transformation and upgrading of rural power grids. Accelerate the construction of power grids in Tibetan areas in Tibet, Xinjiang and Qinghai, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Gansu, do a good job of the trial operation of the Qinghai-Tibet DC interconnection project, and accelerate the construction of natural gas projects in southern Xinjiang. In the remote agricultural and pastoral areas, a number of facilities such as solar power generation, wind and solar power plants, and solar thermal utilization will be built. To improve the living energy use conditions of urban residents, during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, the number of people using natural gas will increase by 100 million to a total of 250 million. In 2012, the second phase of the West-East Gas Pipeline Project opened in Hong Kong to enhance Hong Kong's energy security capabilities.

Sixth, it is reasonable to control total energy consumption. It is necessary to establish a decomposition mechanism, strengthen supervision and evaluation, improve policies and regulations, and strive to establish a mechanism for effective and reasonable control of total energy consumption during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period. Strengthen structural adjustment, focus on transforming development methods, exert the “force-reversing mechanism” that reasonably controls total energy consumption, implement the requirements for total control of energy consumption and intensity, and improve the quality and efficiency of economic development.

Seventh, strengthen the management of the energy industry. Organize and implement various energy plans for the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, and formulate and issue corresponding policies and measures in accordance with plans and approvals for major projects. The preparation of the "National Energy Development Strategy" was initiated and the overall strategy and strategy map for China's energy development were proposed. Grasping a batch of coal, electricity, oil refining, coal deep processing, shale gas, natural gas, coalbed methane, and renewable energy industry policies. We will improve the industry standard system, speed up the construction of the energy legal system, and do a good job in the energy base.

Eighth is to comprehensively improve the level of energy work. Strengthen energy industry management, establish a high-quality team, and train a group of comprehensive talents with strong political skills, proficient skills, broad vision, and solid work.

Liu Tie-nan stressed that it is necessary to increase awareness of hardships. China's energy resources endowment is not high, and per capita occupancy is far below the world average. Contradiction between resources and environmental constraints has become increasingly prominent. In recent years, the degree of dependence on energy resources has increased continuously. Maintaining the sustainable use of the energy resources of 1.3 billion people is an eternal worry. Responsibility for energy work is huge and the task is arduous. It is necessary to firmly establish political awareness, overall awareness, sense of urgency, sense of responsibility, sense of innovation, and sense of service in order to make due contributions to the development of energy science.
