China News Service, Beijing, August 26 (Reporter Zhao Jianhua) Wang Yiming, a member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and a member of the Economic Committee, said at the second phase of the “Energy China” forum held on the evening of the 25th that the current global political economy is facing The biggest change since World War II. In the meantime, there are three basic clues that will affect China's energy development.
First, the technological revolution. The new technological revolution centered on big data, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence has reshaped the global competitive landscape and has become an important force affecting the energy landscape. The new technological revolution has brought opportunities for China's energy transition. After 40 years of rapid development, China's energy sector has undergone rapid technological changes. The efficiency of large-scale generator sets and UHV power grids are leading internationally.
Second, globalization. For a relatively long time in the future, globalization will be in a downturn, which will have a relatively large impact on global energy consumption. In addition, the global energy supply and demand pattern is also changing. Global oil and gas production capacity may be significantly higher than market demand, which will help China reduce the cost of imported energy in a relatively long period of time.
Third, the geopolitical game has intensified. The complexity of geopolitics has increased significantly, increasing the security of China's energy supply international channels and the risk of energy security supply.
At this forum, Wang Yiming predicted that China's energy consumption growth rate will slow down significantly during the 14th Five-Year Plan. The per capita energy consumption level will have upward pressure, which puts forward higher requirements for energy conservation and improvement of energy efficiency. At the same time, the advantages of China's large-scale economy and large-scale market continue to expand and become more apparent. China's influence on the global energy market will also increase.
Wang Yiming analyzed that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's energy green transformation will further accelerate. Developing renewable energy and advancing the energy transition are the safest strategies. At the same time, promote the digital and intelligent transformation of energy. Effectively graft big data, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and other technologies with new energy technologies, build digital intelligent energy systems, and innovate new business models and new models of energy production and consumption.
He believes that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China should continue to promote open energy cooperation. In the field of energy technology cooperation, in the field of resources, and in the construction of a global energy governance system, we must continue to promote international cooperation. China also needs to continue to deepen energy market reforms, including price formation mechanism reforms, and there is room for continued market reforms in refined oil, residential gas, and electricity prices.
