Heating stopped because of "no money to pay"? People's livelihood must be taken care of at -26°C

　　The sudden stop of heating in mid-winter is an unbearable burden for people's livelihood, just as continuous losses are unbearable for heating companies. This requires overall consideration and proper handling

　　The lowest temperature reached -26℃, but the heating company suddenly issued a notice to stop heating?

In the past two days, an "emergency notice" from a heating company in Hegang, Heilongjiang has been circulating on the Internet.

According to the notice, coal prices have skyrocketed since last year (here refers to 2021). The company has repeatedly applied for price adjustments or subsidies to relevant authorities, but has never responded. Last year (2021) it paid seven or eight million yuan. Now There is really no money to pay, so we have to prepare to limit the heat from 8 o'clock on the 5th until the heat stops, reminding residents to take measures to prevent cold and frost.

Since then, relevant community workers have responded that the government department has interviewed the heating station, and the heating supply should not be stopped.

　　How cold is winter in Northeast China?

This can be seen from the jokes such as "drinking beer should be cold but very warm, ice cold at -3°C, and normal temperature at -18°C".

In the freezing weather, it is no exaggeration to say that heating is necessary for life.

Under such circumstances, it is indeed inappropriate for the heating company involved to suddenly announce the suspension of heating.

While correcting the improper practices of the heating company, it is also necessary to face up to its reality.

According to the company, it lost seven or eight million yuan last year, and now it has nothing to pay.

If it is true, it is understandable that it loses the power to continue heating.

　　In fact, on this issue, the heating company should not use "threatening" heating to kidnap residents, and all parties should not stand on the moral high ground to kidnap the heating company.

Instead of arbitrarily engaging in moral kidnapping, it is better to explore constructive solutions to problems through joint discussions and discussions.

　　In fact, considering that energy prices continue to rise due to multiple factors, in December last year, when the northern region entered the winter heating season one after another, the National Development and Reform Commission made it clear on the issue of "how to effectively ensure the warmth of the people for the winter" that it is necessary to improve coal, natural gas, The comprehensive emergency dispatch mechanism of multi-energy complementarity of electric power strengthens dispatch arrangements and strives to improve energy peak capacity; organizes and formulates contingency plans in advance to prepare for subsequent cold weather and firmly guards the bottom line of energy consumption for people's livelihood; do a good job of keeping warm in key areas and during key periods Guarantee supply work, closely monitor the inventory of heating companies in the Northeast, and strengthen railway transportation guarantees.

Countermeasures are put forward from the perspective of energy supply guarantee.

　　In view of the fact that the current heating metering and charging standards are not completely market-oriented, and the "price inversion" will also appear in the heating field under the high coal price, the resulting loss problem really needs to be addressed squarely, instead of clamoring to stop heating when "losing money" , Why don’t you make a sound when making money” to blame the heating company.

　　As far as the current situation is concerned, since heating has the property of guaranteeing people's livelihood, the price is not adjusted according to the market and cannot be adjusted at will. Therefore, many places will regard the subsequent losses as heating policy losses, and provide heating policy subsidies. It is used to subsidize the cost and price inversion of heating enterprises, extend the heating and heating period, improve the energy saving and environmental protection of the heating system, measure the heating by household, and transform the heating operation facilities in old residential areas, etc.

　　Places such as Shandong have made it clear that on the basis of the linkage of coal heat prices, a heat supply policy loss subsidy mechanism will be established. When the heat supply price is not enough to compensate for the heat supply cost, it will be implemented in accordance with "reasonable fiscal subsidies, heat supply enterprises tapping potential and digesting, Based on the principle of "beneficiary residents should take appropriate responsibility", establish a sound heating security system to ensure the normal production and operation of heating companies and the normal and reasonable heating of beneficiary residents.

The principle of multi-party sharing here is obviously worth learning.

　　As far as Hegang is concerned, after the heating company notifies the heating shutdown event, how to solve the problem by reasonably compensating for the heating policy loss, forcing the heating company to strengthen internal potential improvement and improvement of management efficiency, or reasonably determining the heating price for residents. Difficulties also need to be handled carefully.

But in any case, it cannot be a few parties tearing it apart, leaving the people cold and chilled.

　　In the final analysis, the sudden stop of heating in mid-winter is a burden that people's livelihood cannot bear, just as continuous losses are a burden that heating companies cannot bear. This requires overall consideration and proper handling, so as to avoid chains of problems that will eventually be transmitted to the level of people's livelihood. .
