National Development and Reform Commission: Never Limit Household Electricity Consumption

The Development and Reform Commission announced yesterday that a coal-powered oil and gas transportation work conference was held recently, saying that the spring season is approaching and that coal-gas-oil-gas transportation will enter peak demand times, and there will be great uncertainty due to climate change in the future. The National Development and Reform Commission requires all departments to focus on the use of coal, electricity, and gas in winter to focus on the protection of household electricity and gas, and to require power grid companies to minimize power cuts, and must not limit household electricity consumption.

This winter, when the electricity gap is large, the coming of the Spring Festival each year and the cooling of the climate, the use of coal for electricity and the use of gas all face peak demand. The National Development and Reform Commission requires all relevant departments to focus on protecting the electricity and gas used by the residents; to ensure the protection of supply during key periods such as “two sessions”, “two sessions” and spring plowing, and to ensure that hospitals, schools, etc. are involved in the needs of the public interest.

With regard to electricity, the SERC and other agencies had forecasted that the electricity consumption gap this winter may reach as high as 30 million to 40 million kilowatts. However, the National Development and Reform Commission recently raised the on-grid tariff and sales price to ease the large-scale loss of power generation companies. This will help mobilize the enthusiasm of power generation companies for generating electricity. In addition, in order to ensure the supply of coal, the NDRC will also start to impose limits on coal prices in the market from next year to ensure the profits of power generation companies. In terms of gas use, winter is the peak of gas use in Beijing. PetroChina has said that it has done a good job of supplying gas for the winter.

Protecting people's travel priorities In addition, the Spring Festival is approaching, the Development and Reform Commission also requires the transportation department to rationally allocate capacity, ensure the transportation of key materials such as coal, refined oil, fertilizers, grain, and fresh agricultural and sideline products, and strive to transport more coal before the Spring Festival peak; Good transport links between ports, roads and railways, to increase transport efficiency as much as possible. In order to guarantee the safety and smooth travel of the people at the same time, they must also pay attention to the transportation of important materials such as electric coal, refined oil, and production and daily necessities.

The inter-departmental coordination mechanism for coal and gas oil and gas transportation support was approved by the State Council in April 2008. It is responsible for coordinating and coordinating the national coal and gas oil and gas transportation guarantee work, timely solving the major coal and gas oil and gas transportation safeguard issues affecting macroeconomic operations, and implementing coal and gas oil and gas transportation. Emergency emergencies and comprehensive coordination of major emergencies.
