(Interview between the two sessions) Chen Xiuyan, member of the CPPCC National Committee: Improve the efficiency of clean energy use

  China News Service, Beijing, May 23 (Reporter Liang Ting) How can the energy industry benefit the people and benefit the people in the year of decisive battle against poverty? Chen Xiuyan, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, deputy chief economist of the State Grid Co., Ltd. and director of the Central China Branch, said that he would innovate in improving clean energy utilization efficiency to benefit the people and benefit the enterprise.

  Central China Power Grid undertakes the task of absorbing and transferring Southwest Hydropower, Northwest New Energy and its own clean energy, and shoulders the mission of promoting clean energy transformation. Chen Xiuyan introduced that in 2020, a green electricity transaction based on the Internet of Vehicles will be carried out in Hubei. The estimated transaction volume is 100 million kWh, accounting for more than 35% of the electricity consumption of Hubei electric vehicles.

  In Chen Xiuyan's view, clean energy in the southwest is sent to Hubei, and the use of clean energy in Hubei's new energy vehicles not only promotes the consumption of clean energy in the west, but also plays a demonstration role in the interaction between the production side and the consumption side.

  At the two sessions this year, Chen Xiuyan paid attention to the country's policy support for the construction of a clean energy system. He said that since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the power supply situation in Central China has become tighter, and the problem of power shortage has appeared year by year. The existing main grid of Central China Power Grid has been unable to adapt to the needs of energy and power for high-quality economic development. He called for speeding up the construction of energy infrastructure represented by UHV, etc., promoting the construction of UHV ring network in Central China, and promoting the clean and low-carbon development of energy.

  The Central China UHV AC Ring Network Project is a key project to improve the power supply capacity and safety level of Central China Power Grid and was included in the national plan in 2018. According to reports, the UHV AC backbone grids in North China and East China are basically completed. After the completion of the project, it is expected that in addition to reducing coal consumption by 30 million tons and pollutant emissions by 240,000 tons for the central region, it will also play an important role in driving the development of upstream and downstream industries and providing jobs.

  The cost of electricity is related to the business environment, how to reduce the cost of electricity in the real economy? In response to the current cross-subsidization of electricity prices, Chen Xiuyan called for promoting the formation of a reasonable electricity price formation mechanism, clarifying the policy objectives of electricity price cross-subsidies and the types of subsidies that need to be retained. Straighten the electricity price structure and reduce the electricity cost of the real economy.

  Hubei was the hardest hit by the epidemic. As the center and hub of the nation ’s interconnected power grid, during the outbreak, Central China Power Grid organized inter-provincial power peak shaving over 100 times, with a maximum of 1.6 million kilowatts. Reliable supply.

  The epidemic also caused Chen Xiuyan to notice the deficiencies of power grid companies in building energy emergency capacity. He suggested that, as soon as possible, sum up and improve the practical experience of energy and electricity companies' epidemic prevention and emergency protection, improve the national energy emergency system and the construction of rapid response capabilities, and study and develop the construction and improvement of the grid enterprise's standby dispatch system.
