China News Service, March 22. According to the National Energy Administration website, the National Energy Administration recently issued the "2024 Energy Work Guidance Opinions." The "Guiding Opinions" require that we continue to promote the modernization of the energy governance system and capabilities, improve the energy legal system, continue to deepen the reform of the energy system and mechanisms, increase energy supervision, strengthen energy and power safety governance, and continuously improve the modernization level of the energy governance system.
First, improve energy laws and regulations. Promote the National People's Congress Standing Committee to review and adopt the Energy Law, and speed up the revision of the Renewable Energy Law, Electricity Law, and Coal Law. Promote the revision of power grid dispatching management regulations, natural gas infrastructure construction and operation management methods, oil and gas pipeline network facilities fair and open supervision methods, power monitoring system safety protection regulations and other rules and regulations.
The second is to deepen reforms in key areas of energy. Deepen the reform of the electric power system and help build a new electric power system. Promulgate opinions on deepening the reform of the electricity market and promoting the high-quality development of new energy. Strengthen the construction of a unified national electricity market system, promote the implementation of the basic rules of the electricity spot market, formulate the "Basic Rules of the Electric Power Ancillary Services Market", "Basic Rules of Information Disclosure of the Electricity Market" and "Basic Rules of Electricity Market Access Registration", and implement the two-part electricity price system for coal and electricity. policy. Guide and promote the continuous deepening of electricity market reform in Shanxi, Guangdong, Gansu, Shandong, western Inner Mongolia and other pilot areas, and steadily promote the construction of regional electricity markets in the South, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and the Yangtze River Delta. Deepen the reform of the oil and gas system, promote high-quality, fair and open infrastructure, strengthen guidance and constraints on pipeline upstream and downstream openings, accelerate pipeline network interconnection, and support and guide provincial pipeline networks to integrate into the national pipeline network in a market-oriented manner.
The third is to strengthen energy market supervision. Innovate energy supervision methods, increase supervision efforts, and maintain a fair and just market environment. Carry out comprehensive supervision in the electric power sector in key provinces, carry out special supervision to address problems such as insufficient enforcement of rules, restrictions on market competition, and insufficient information disclosure in the operation of the electric power market, and strengthen normalized supervision of electric power transactions and market order. Strengthen the fair and open supervision of power grids and oil and gas pipeline network facilities, and improve the operating efficiency of power grids and oil and gas pipeline network facilities. Give full play to the role of the 12398 energy supervision hotline as a people's livelihood channel and promote the solution of the people's urgent, difficult and anxious problems.
The fourth is to strengthen power safety management. Publish policy documents on the safety management of new power systems and key requirements for preventing grid-connected safety accidents for new energy sources and other new grid-connected entities, revise the "Power Grid Security Risk Management and Control Measures (Trial)", and study and formulate safety supervision measures for deep peak load regulation of coal power units. Strengthen special safety supervision in key areas, carry out a three-year action to address the root cause of safety production in energy and power systems, and carry out the second phase of a special action to improve the safety of hydropower stations and dams, special supervision on construction safety and quality control of power construction projects, and special actions for distribution network safety. Continue to promote the construction of national-level power emergency bases and research centers, and accelerate the construction of a power reliability management system based on real-time data. Organize a new round of identification of critical information infrastructure for power, oil and gas, and steadily promote the large-scale application of Beidou in the energy industry.
