Our reporter Wang Yichen
Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for Modern Energy System", which clearly states that by 2025, the annual comprehensive production capacity of domestic energy will reach more than 4.6 billion tons of standard coal, and the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption will increase to 20%. %about.
Looking forward to 2035, decisive progress will be made in the high-quality development of energy, and a modern energy system will be basically built.
Transforming energy development
Compared with the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" and "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the "14th Five-Year Plan" energy plan puts more emphasis on "modern energy system".
According to the person in charge of the National Energy Administration, after decades of development, my country's energy production and utilization methods have undergone major changes and have entered a new stage of development.
The eight characters of "clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient" are the core connotation of the modern energy system.
"Energy is an important material basis and driving force for economic and social development. As the economy shifts from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, energy has also entered a high-quality development stage of changing the development mode, adjusting the energy structure, and transforming the driving force of growth." Electric Power Planning Du Zhongming, Secretary of the Party Committee and Dean of the General Design Institute, said.
Promoting the construction of a modern energy system will focus on three aspects.
In terms of enhancing the security and stability of the energy supply chain, the "Planning" proposes that the "14th Five-Year Plan" period will strengthen the construction of comprehensive energy security capabilities from multiple dimensions such as strategic security, operational security, and emergency security.
By 2025, the comprehensive production capacity will reach more than 4.6 billion tons of standard coal, which will better meet the economic and social development and the people's growing demand for energy for a better life.
Promote green and low-carbon transformation of energy production and consumption.
The "Plan" clearly states that the "14th Five-Year Plan" is a critical period and a window period for carbon peaking, and green and low-carbon development of energy is the key. "Subtraction" to promote the formation of a green and low-carbon energy consumption model.
By 2025, increase the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption to about 20%.
Building a modern energy system is inseparable from a modern energy industry chain.
The reporter learned that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, my country will further give full play to the leading and strategic supporting role of scientific and technological innovation, enhance the ability of energy scientific and technological innovation, accelerate the digitalization and intelligent upgrading of the energy industry, promote the substantial improvement of the efficiency of the energy system, and comprehensively improve the energy industry. Basic advanced and industrial chain modernization level.
Ensure energy security and stability
During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, my country's energy supply and demand were relatively loose, but the supply of electricity, coal, natural gas, etc. was still temporarily tight.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, with the deepening of new industrialization and urbanization, and the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand, energy consumption will continue to grow rigidly, and the pressure to ensure energy supply will continue to exist.
Zhang Jianhua, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the National Energy Administration, believes that ensuring energy security and supply is the primary task of the energy industry.
The better the economic and social development situation is, the stronger the demand for energy, the greater the pressure of responsibility to ensure the supply, and the job of energy must be in our own hands.
Strong energy supply capacity is the basic guarantee of energy security.
The relevant person in charge of the National Energy Administration said that on the one hand, it is necessary to do a good job in increments, build a clean energy supply system such as wind, light, water, and nuclear, and continue to expand the supply of clean energy; on the other hand, it is necessary to stabilize the stock and make good use of coal . The supporting role of coal power in promoting the green and low-carbon development of energy, release advanced coal production capacity in an orderly manner, reasonably build supporting and regulated advanced coal power according to development needs, and focus on improving the level of domestic oil and gas production.
At the same time, it will also speed up the improvement of the energy production, supply, storage and marketing system, and strengthen the construction of cross-provincial and cross-regional transmission channels for electricity and oil and gas.
Focus on promoting the construction of gas storage facilities such as underground gas storage depots and LNG receiving stations to improve the flexibility of energy supply capacity.
Strengthen energy emergency security guarantee capabilities, establish and improve coal, oil and gas, and electric power supply and demand early warning mechanisms, and improve rapid response and rapid energy supply recovery capabilities.
The power system is the most complex man-made dynamic system. How to maintain the stable operation of the power grid is a major issue.
"In recent years, with the rapid development of DC power transmission and new energy, my country's power grid has become a modern power system with a large number of power electronic equipment and cross-regional AC-DC hybrid connection. Its scale and complexity are unprecedented, and the system characteristics have undergone profound changes. " said He Jingbo, director of the system division of the State Power Dispatching Control Center.
Regarding the power emergency safety guarantee, the "Planning" proposes to continuously improve the orderly power consumption plan and emergency plan system, improve the level of mutual support of the power grid, and enhance the ability of emergency power supply and accident recovery.
Accelerate green and low-carbon transition
The energy sector is the main battlefield to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
Among the four main indicators of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality announced by my country, there are three directly related to energy, namely: the carbon emission intensity per unit of GDP in 2030 will be reduced by more than 65% compared with 2005, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption It will reach about 25%, and the total installed capacity of wind power and solar power will reach more than 1.2 billion kilowatts.
Therefore, to achieve the "dual carbon" goal, we must do a good job of green and low-carbon development of energy.
The "14th Five-Year Plan" is a critical period and a window period for carbon peaking. The "Plan" mainly starts from three aspects to promote carbon emission reduction in the energy field.
The first is to accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of the energy structure.
Focusing on the goal of reaching 20% of non-fossil energy consumption by 2025, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the focus will be on accelerating the development of wind power and solar power generation, actively developing nuclear power in a safe and orderly manner, developing hydropower and other renewable energy sources according to local conditions, and enhancing the supply capacity of clean energy.
Promote the construction of a new power system and promote the gradual increase in the proportion of new energy.
Yang Kun, Secretary of the Party Committee of the China Electricity Council, believes that to build a new power system, it is necessary to carry out research on related theories and methods such as the structure, operation form, and source, network, load and storage coordination of the new power system, promote the research and development of core technologies and tackle key problems, and formulate and introduce new power systems. Standards related to power systems.
Strengthen the construction of trans-provincial and trans-regional transmission channels, create a platform for optimizing the allocation of resources in a wide range, and continue to optimize and improve the main grid of the regional power grid.
Promote the construction of an intelligent distribution network that adapts to the development of distributed and micro-grids.
The second is to vigorously promote carbon emission reduction in the energy industry chain.
In energy development, production, processing, storage and transportation and other links, improve the utilization of energy resources and reduce carbon emissions.
The third is to support, serve, and promote the transformation of energy consumption methods in key industries.
The key to carbon emission reduction in the energy sector is the low-carbon transformation of energy use models. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, we will focus on industries such as industry, transportation, and construction, make greater efforts to strengthen energy conservation and carbon reduction, and strictly and reasonably control the growth of coal consumption. Promote and improve the level of low-carbon electrification of end-use energy.
"To build a modern energy system and achieve the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, we must unswervingly implement the new development concept, adhere to the system concept, and properly handle the relationship between development and emission reduction, overall and local, short-term and long-term. Risks must be strengthened. Prevention and control to ensure safe carbon reduction." said Wang Zhixuan, member of the Party Committee of China Electricity Council.
