New energy security strategy promotes three major changes in energy development

　　On June 13, 2014, at the sixth meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Leading Group, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech, emphasizing that "China must promote energy consumption revolution, energy supply revolution, energy technology revolution, and energy system revolution, and strengthen international cooperation in all aspects to achieve energy security under open conditions." The new energy security strategy of "four revolutions and one cooperation" has become the fundamental guideline for my country's energy reform and development, and the theory of energy development with Chinese characteristics has achieved a major leap forward.

　　This year marks the fifth anniversary of the new energy security strategy. During the two sessions of the National People's Congress, deputies and members reviewed and summarized the remarkable achievements and profound changes in energy development over the past five years, and studied and planned good strategies to further promote the new energy security strategy.

　　The delegates said that over the past five years, the energy system has thoroughly implemented the new energy security strategy, deepened the "four revolutions and one cooperation", and promoted energy development to achieve quality, efficiency and power changes. The energy industry is moving forward in a solid way towards higher quality, more efficient, fairer and more sustainable direction, and the high-quality development of energy has been broken through.

　　The green and diversified supply system accelerates the construction of major changes in the quality of energy supply.

　　"Energy security is an overall and strategic issue related to the country's economic and social development. It is crucial to the country's prosperity and development, the improvement of people's lives, and the long-term social stability." General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the important status of energy security when proposing a new energy security strategy. . Fully meeting the energy needs of economic and social development and people's better life is the primary task of energy development. Zhang Jianhua, director of the National Energy Administration, pointed out that improving the overall supply quality of the energy system is the main direction to promote energy quality reform. Over the past five years, the energy system has deeply promoted supply-side structural reform, vigorously eliminated energy supply constraints, and accelerated the construction of a green and diversified energy supply system. The clean and efficient use of coal, oil and other fossil energy has achieved remarkable results, the clean energy industry has grown steadily, the energy production structure has continued to be optimized, the transformation to clean and low-carbon has been accelerated, and the quality of energy supply has achieved major changes.

　　Ma Yongsheng, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy general manager of China Petrochemical Corporation, introduced that Sinopec has conscientiously implemented the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping and increased its efforts in crude oil and natural gas exploration and development. In 2018, the crude oil reserve replacement rate reached 113%, and the natural gas reserve replacement also maintained a good trend. The crude oil production capacity increased by more than 2.5 million tons and the natural gas production capacity increased by about 2 billion cubic meters. "According to the current progress, through the work in the next 5 to 7 years, we believe that we will reverse the trend of increasing dependence on oil imports and hope to control the external dependence at around 60%."

　　The achievements of decapacity and clean low-carbon transformation in the energy sector have been widely recognized. He Lifeng, Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the first press conference of the Second Session of the 13th National People's Congress that my country's supply-side structural reform has made new and greater progress, and the decapacity of steel and coal has completed the "13th Five-Year Plan" target two years ahead of schedule, and has driven other related industries to improve quality and efficiency, which has played a great role in promoting structural adjustment.

　　Liu Bingjiang, member of the Population, Resources and Environment Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the China Democratic National Construction Association, and director of the Atmospheric Environment Management Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, introduced that currently, the country's 810 million kilowatts of coal-fired units have basically reached the emission level of natural gas, and the world's largest clean coal power generation system has been built. The proportion of coal in primary energy consumption has fallen below 60% for the first time, reaching 59%.

　　The steady growth of the clean energy industry is an important driving force for promoting the revolution in my country's energy production and consumption and building a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system. At present, the proportion of clean energy power generation installed capacity in my country has increased to about 40%, and the proportion of power generation has increased to 30%.

　　Zhang Chuanwei, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Mingyang Smart Energy, said that my country's wind power and solar energy have become the vane of global clean energy development, and are in a leading position in the world in terms of innovative technology, installed capacity and equipment level. Last year, my country's new wind power and solar power installed capacity totaled nearly 70 million kilowatts, accounting for 70% of the country's new installed power capacity last year. In 2022, the country is expected to form a trillion-yuan offshore wind power equipment manufacturing industry cluster.

　　Optimal allocation of energy resources promotes changes in energy development efficiency.

　　At present, the main contradiction in my country's energy development has transformed into the contradiction between the people's growing energy needs for a better life and the unbalanced and inadequate development of energy. The new energy security strategy is the path to solve the contradiction of energy development. The energy system is determined to reverse the extensive development model, deepen the innovation of energy systems and mechanisms, improve the level of coordinated development of energy, promote the market to play a decisive role in allocating resources, optimize the allocation of energy resources, comprehensively improve energy utilization efficiency, and improve energy total factor productivity.

　　In an interview with People's Daily during the two sessions of the National People's Congress, Zhang Jianhua said that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has personally led the work of deepening reform, energy system reform has accelerated, reforms in key areas and key links have made positive progress, power system reform has taken substantive steps, oil and gas system reform has steadily advanced, the degree of energy marketization has continued to increase, and energy governance has initially achieved major reforms from project approval to a focus on strategy, planning, policy, standards, supervision, and services.

　　In the past five years, my country's energy strategy and planning have become more prominent, and the level of overall and coordinated energy development has been effectively improved, playing an important role in improving energy production and operation efficiency. In 2018, the national average water energy utilization rate reached over 95%, wind power utilization rate reached 93%, and photovoltaic utilization rate reached 97%. The energy system optimizes the development layout and construction timing of renewable energy, gives full play to the regulatory role, and the consumption of renewable energy continues to improve significantly.

　　Shu Yinbiao, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of Huaneng Group, said that the increased intensity of approval restrictions has limited the development speed of wind and solar power generation in areas with serious wind and solar power abandonment, and played a key role in reducing the power abandonment rate.

　　Energy development requires efficiency from the market. Over the past five years, the energy sector has made real and hard efforts to deepen market-oriented reforms, accelerate the construction of an effectively competitive market structure and market system, gradually release market vitality, and improve the level of optimal resource allocation. The new round of power reform pilot projects has achieved full coverage, the power market trading mechanism has been continuously improved, and the proportion of market-traded electricity in the total social electricity consumption has reached 30%. Institutional reforms in oil and gas pipeline networks, exploration and development, etc. have been carried out in an orderly manner to improve the utilization efficiency of pipeline network facilities.

　　Ma Yongsheng said that the reform of the oil and gas pipeline network can improve the level, quality and even safety of the entire pipeline network operation and maximize the function of the pipeline network. my country's oil and gas distribution is uneven and requires pipeline interconnection. The smooth advancement of the pipeline network reform can achieve resource allocation across the country and even the world.

　　The role of the global market in allocating resources is being accelerated in the energy sector. Over the past five years, the energy system has promoted international energy cooperation in all aspects, focused on expanding cooperation areas, continuously expanding the scale of cooperation, continuously improving the quality of cooperation, and continuously improving the ability to utilize international energy resources.

　　"At present, China National Petroleum Corporation has achieved remarkable results in international cooperation. In 2018, PetroChina's overseas oil and gas equity production equivalent exceeded 98 million tons, and it is expected to reach 100 million tons in 2019. Our country must be based on global resources, Through international oil and gas cooperation, we will vigorously 'go global' and promote oil and gas cooperation in accordance with the concept of win-win cooperation," said Wang Yilin, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, deputy director of the Economic Committee, chairman and party secretary of China National Petroleum Corporation.

　　Reform and innovation have stimulated vitality and promoted the transformation of energy development momentum.

　　"From relying mainly on inputs in materials, funds, and manpower, to paying more attention to comprehensive inputs in science and technology, systems, management, and technology." Zhang Jianhua's discussion on the transformation of energy development power reflects the profound changes in the concept and approach of energy development. Over the past five years, my country's energy development has entered a new stage driven by innovation. The energy technology revolution and system revolution continue to release the dynamic vitality of development and promote the extension of the energy industry chain and value chain from the low end to the middle and high end.

　　Over the past five years, a series of major energy technologies and demonstration projects have achieved breakthroughs, a number of major core equipment have been independently developed and manufactured, major scientific and technological projects such as nuclear power, oil and gas, and gas turbines have made breakthrough progress, and a number of independent key technologies have leapt to the international level. Energy science and technology innovation capabilities have achieved more "parallel running" and have made breakthroughs towards a few "leading" ones.

　　"my country's nuclear power design, research and development, construction and operation have reached the international first camp. At present, my country's nuclear power has reached the world level and has the strength and conditions to 'go global'. 'Hualong One' has complete independent intellectual property rights and is completely free from the control of others in 'going global'." said Luo Qi, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of the China Nuclear Power Research and Design Institute.

　　Liu Hanyuan, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of the board of directors of Tongwei Group, said that with the continuous breakthroughs in the technology of my country's photovoltaic power generation industry, the price of photovoltaic modules has dropped by 94% in the past decade, achieving a qualitative leap. Photovoltaic products such as cells and modules manufactured in my country have also achieved a high market share in overseas markets, and the technical level in some fields has been at the forefront of the world.

　　Technological innovation, industrial innovation, business model innovation, and the close integration of energy with high-tech in other fields have continuously released the driving force of energy development and cultivated energy and its related industries into new growth points to drive my country's industrial upgrading.

　　Zhang Lei, deputy to the National People's Congress and CEO of Envision Group, said that power grid companies will build an open energy Internet platform to foster an innovative ecosystem and promote the distributed transformation of the energy system. The distributed revolution of the energy system will provide the largest application scenarios for technologies such as 5G, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and network security, and lead the general trend of the industrial Internet. The energy Internet will become an important practice field of the industrial Internet, empowering the transformation and upgrading of my country's industry and economy.

　　Energy technology is updated and iterated, and the power conversion accumulates the potential for development. The energy system and mechanism are broken and the new is established. What is solved is the deep-seated contradictions that restrict energy development, and the dynamic vitality of development is stimulated and released.

　　Chen Xiuyan, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, chairman and party secretary of State Grid Fujian Electric Power Company, said that market mechanisms such as medium- and long-term electricity transactions, electricity spot markets, and ancillary services have activated the electricity market, mobilized diversified market players to find the most suitable positions in the market, and give full play to their respective roles.

　　The energy revolution is surging. Reform is the unswerving direction of energy development in the past five years. Reform will enable energy to quickly find its time and space positioning in the new era of high-quality development and open up a new development pattern.

　　"High-quality development is a big test that affects the overall profound changes in the energy industry." The new energy security strategy has set the course for this change. At present, the implementation of the new energy security strategy is at an important time node of connecting the past and the future and advancing in depth. Further promoting the new energy security strategy in depth and in practice will grasp the key force to push the stone up the mountain and break through the barriers for high-quality energy development. After five years of starting again, starting from the surging spring tide, China's energy has entered the spring of high-quality development.
