Central Economic Work Conference: Accelerate the Construction of a New Energy System

The meeting required that we should adhere to the general tone of work of seeking progress while maintaining stability, fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, and strive to promote high-quality development.

From December 11 to 12, the Central Economic Work Conference was held in Beijing. The meeting required that we should adhere to the general tone of work of seeking progress while maintaining stability, fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, and strive to promote high-quality development. How to do in the energy field? A reporter from China Energy News interviewed industry experts and explained this.

Achieve safety, economy and low carbon synergy

Zeng Ming, director of the Energy Internet Committee of the China Energy Research Association, said:"The general tone of work in the energy field next year can be summarized by three elements: establishing first and then breaking, improving energy efficiency and ensuring safety. At present, my country should significantly increase renewable energy by significantly increasing renewable energy.Proportional realizationTo ensure energy security and economy, we must establish first and then break, improve energy efficiency and ensure thatRely on supply.”

Deepen the construction of ecological civilization and green and low-carbon development."The meeting made it clear that green and low-carbon development will be achieved in the four links of 'source network and load storage', to build a green supply chain, and to support the healthy development of the energy system ecological chain." Zeng Ming said.

Song Qinghui, chief economist of Qinghui Think Tank, believes:"my country has entered a critical period of green transformation. Accelerating the construction of a green and low-carbon supply chain is the only way to steadily promote carbon peak and carbon neutrality. It is recommended to make good use of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and big data."

Peng Peng, Secretary-General of China New Energy Power Investment and Financing Alliance, believes:"my country urgently needs to establish a series of evaluation indicator systems to clarify the boundary conditions for realizing green supply chains."

Accelerate the construction of a new energy system, strengthen resource conservation, intensive, circular and efficient utilization, and improve energy and resource security guarantee capabilities. Zeng Ming believes:"Building a new energy system must beEnsure energyThe realization and dynamic coordination of the three-dimensional goals of "safety", "economic", and "low carbon". ”

Song Qinghui suggested starting from two aspects:"First, adhere to the whole country's chess game and unify the deployment of all work; second, deepen the upgrading and evolution of the energy system, laying the foundation for ultimately realizing systematic and transformative reshaping of the energy."

"If the construction of a new energy system needs to significantly increase the supply of renewable energy, it will inevitably reduce the new coal power generation, and it will not allow regulatory power to go bankrupt and withdraw. It is necessary to improve the guarantee mechanisms such as capacity electricity prices." Peng Peng said.

Lead industrial development with technological innovation

Lin Boqiang, director of the China Energy Policy Research Institute of Xiamen University, said that building a new energy system is to realize itThe inevitable requirement of the "dual carbon" goal is that new energy has poor stability and relatively high costs, and it is necessary to make the new power system more stable at a lower cost through technological innovation.

"Especially, digital technology should be applied to scenarios such as energy production, transmission and application, which will be one of the innovation priorities," said Zeng Ming.

Bai Weiguo, director of the Industrial Green Development Research Department of the Chinese Urban Economics Society, suggested:"We must be guided by digitalization, intelligence, greening and internationalization, focus on scientific and technological innovation in energy extraction, storage and transportation, processing and utilization, promote industrial transformation and upgrading, improve the modernization level of the industrial chain and supply chain, promote the construction of a modern energy industry system, and develop new quality productivity of the energy industry."

Green consumption achieves energy transformationIt is crucial. Bai Weiguo believes that vigorously develop"Green consumption" and "boosting new energy vehicles" can further stimulate and release green consumption demand and give full play to the market adjustmentSaving mechanism, inspire enterprises to practice the concept of green and low carbon, and issueThe "green" signal is transforming to a green and low-carbon production and lifestyle.

"Increasing green energy application scenarios can promote green electricity and green certificate trading. Certifications such as product carbon neutrality and carbon footprint are particularly important. We must improve the construction of green brands in enterprises." Bai Weiguo said.

Song Qinghui believes that the meeting sent a positive signal and will give birth to a huge green market."Especially with the further acceleration of my country's urbanization process, green energy consumption has become an important force in promoting the sustainable development of China's economy."

Continue to move forward with reform"Deep Water"

The meeting required deepening reforms in key areas and accelerating the construction of a unified national market. By promoting the marketization process, it can stimulate the enthusiasm of market entities and improve the efficiency of energy resource allocation. Since the beginning of this year, my country has continued to promote the reform of the oil and gas market system and the power system reform, and advanced to reform."Deep water zone".

Zeng Ming said:"Specifically, on the one hand, we must try our best to connect the energy market with the national carbon market and the green electricity and green certificate market to achieve connection; on the other hand, we must pay attention to the issue of the entry of the regulated resources that ensure the large-scale development of renewable energy into the market. In addition, we must continue to break down barriers to the energy industry and form a national unified market with a larger scale and a wider coverage as much as possible. This is an important issue in the reform of the energy system."

Peng Peng also believes:"The connection between the carbon market and the green electricity and green certificate market should be achieved as soon as possible, so that enterprises can also reflect value in carbon emission accounting while using green electricity."

How to better promote institutional and mechanism reform in the energy field? Bai Weiguo suggested:"First, we will design the top-level design of the national unified power market system, coordinate the arrangements, optimize the allocation of power supply, and improve the multi-level unified power market system; second, accelerate the construction of the spot market, gradually promote the futures market, improve the auxiliary service market, promote organic connection between each other, and cultivate more power generation enterprises, power grid enterprises, power sales companies, financial institutions and users to participate in power transactions; third, improve the power price formation mechanism, gradually promote market-oriented pricing of power, and promote various power generation enterprises to directly participate in market transactions; fourth, improve the new energy power trading mechanism, orderly promote new energy participation in market transactions, and continuously stimulate the enthusiasm of new energy entities to participate in market transactions, and attract more social capital to enter."

In terms of oil and gas pipeline reform, our country willThe new pipeline transportation price mechanism will be implemented from January 1, 2024, and "one price in front-line (enterprise)" will become history. "In the past, the main oil and gas pipelines were built and operated by major state-owned oil and gas enterprises, and were not connected to each other, and the degree of marketization was low." Bai Weiguo believes that in the future, the national pipeline company should integrate the "one network in the country", fairly open pipeline facilities, improve the open standards and market supervision of pipeline networks, continuously improve the fair and open service level of pipeline network facilities, drive social capital investment, and promote the marketization process of the oil and gas industry.
