Increasing political support, central energy and power companies play a “combined fist” to secure energy supply and price stability
Power generation companies ensure that peak power consumption can be supplied and supplemented Coal companies take the lead in implementing the long-term coal cooperation mechanism to increase production Power grid companies increase the ‘inter-regional surplus and shortage of mutual assistance to ensure stable energy consumption … Further increase policy support and promote the core power and energy companies to play a “combined fist” to secure energy supply and price stability.
On New Year’s Day, at the Shendong Coal Shangwan Coal Mine of China Energy Group, the intelligent coal mining equipment roared, and the conveyor belt continuously carried “black gold” outward; at the port of Huanghua in Hebei, thousands of kilometers away, personnel race against the clock to load and unload, and shipments of coal are shipped to all parts of the country.
Coal is the ‘ballast stone’ of my country’s energy security. Recently, the central enterprises have been working hard to ensure supply and stable prices. National Energy Group has exploited potential and improved efficiency and competed for tons of coal. Its self-produced coal production has been stable and high, and it has maintained a level of 50 million tons for 15 consecutive months; China Coal Group has accelerated the production of new mines. Promote nuclear scale-up of skilled coal mine production capacity, and commercial coal production will increase 4% year-on-year in 2022.
The responsible manager of China Coal Group said that in the next stage, the company will fully release the production capacity of large-scale open pit mines and high-quality, high-yield, high-efficiency modern mines, improve the flexibility of production and efficiency, and organize the producing mines to do their best to stabilize and increase production on the basis of safety. Secure and stable supply of coal this winter and next spring.
“Central enterprises supply nearly a quarter of the country’s coal production and play an important role in the country’s electric coal supply.” central enterprises exceeding 1 billion tons for the first time in 2021, in 2022 Since then, the average daily coal output of central enterprises reached 2.96 million tons, an increase of 7.6% year on year.
It is necessary to increase production and stabilize prices. China National Energy Group and China Coal Group continue to play the exemplary role of large enterprises in stabilizing the market, and take the lead in the implementation of medium and long-term electric coal contracts. The underwriting rate of self-produced coal contracts has reached 93.6%, and the rate of return has reached nearly 100%. As of 2021, the cumulative profit sharing has exceeded 240 billion yuan.
While coal companies are making every effort to promote stable and increasing production, central power generation companies have taken multiple measures to increase peak power generation capacity, and power grid companies have increased inter-regional surplus and mutual assistance to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power grid.
Recently, cold and snowy weather conditions have occurred in parts of the country, snow on roads and ice on line equipment have put a strain on power supply assurance. The units of State Grid and China Southern Power Grid have made comprehensive arrangements and preparations in advance, closely monitored the operational status of the line equipment, and have made every effort to do a good job of guaranteeing operation and maintenance.
Statistics show that since 2022, central power generation enterprises have generated a total of 5 trillion kwh, accounting for 63.1% of the country, 8.4 percentage points higher than the installed capacity of central enterprises, and an increase of 5.9 percentage points year-over-year; Give full play to the advantages of the large power grid platform, continue to optimize the demand response mechanism, and organize more than 3,000 times of inter-regional and inter-provincial support, with an output of nearly 50 billion kWh.
In addition, facing the challenges of international natural gas shortage and high prices, the central oil and petrochemical and gas pipeline network companies have actively dispatched and coordinated and increased the acquisition of oil and gas resources, effectively guaranteeing the supply and the stability of the gas in winter.
According to data from the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, Sinopec, PetroChina, CNOOC and other companies have been steadily promoting the exploration and development of shale gas, accelerated the construction of offshore gas fields and increased the acquisition of imported oil and gas resources on the basis of ensuring the high-level operation of gas fields. Self-produced natural gas reached 189.99 billion cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 7.1% ;total inventory reached 17.72 billion cubic meters, one year annual increase of 17.2%.
It is understood that the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission has recently carried out deployments around more high-quality energy and power supply assurance battles and tough battles. guarantee of quality and efficiency.
A number of central enterprises have stated that they will fully implement the decisions and provisions of the Party Central Committee and the State Council and the work requirements of the Commission for the Supervision and Administration of State-Owned Assets of the State Council, further strengthen their responsibility, take energy supply and price stability as an important policy task, and do solid work in the energy sector Secure supply and stabilize prices, and give full play to the role of state-owned central enterprises as “ballast stone” and “pillar”.
