The anti-corruption of state-owned enterprises continues to deepen the power system to investigate and deal with a number of cases of relying on electricity to eat electricity and use electricity for personal gain
Find out the "electric mouse"
Shi Junjie, former general manager of Guodian Northeast (Shenyang) Fuel Co., Ltd., was examined and investigated. The director of the department, Chen Xiaolin, was investigated and investigated... Recently, the disciplinary inspection and supervision organs notified a group of leading cadres in the electric power sector who had been examined and investigated or were "double-opened", which released a clear signal to resolutely cut off the corrupt interest chain in the electric power sector.
The Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection demanded that we should pay close attention to key areas and key links with strong policy support, intensive investment and concentrated resources, resolutely investigate and deal with corruption in infrastructure construction and public resource transactions, and continue to deepen the anti-corruption work of state-owned enterprises.
As an important part of the energy sector, electricity is capital-intensive, resource-rich, and has a wide coverage. The risk of integrity cannot be underestimated.
In the power industry, which links are prone to violations of discipline and law?
How to plug the system and regulatory loopholes exposed by the case, and strengthen the restriction and supervision on the operation of power?
The journalist made an interview about this.
1 It is capital-intensive, resource-rich, and power-concentrated, with high risks of integrity in investment and market-related fields, and the number of material procurement and marketing cases ranks high
Implement time-saving, labor-saving, and money-saving "three provinces" services for large and medium-sized enterprises, and implement zero-site, zero-approval, and zero-investment "three zeros" services for small and micro enterprises in Harbin urban areas... Heilongjiang Electric Power Company continues to launch A series of service measures to facilitate the people and benefit enterprises have reduced the electricity connection cost of customers by about 500 million yuan per year.
The implementation of the reform measures has benefited from the State Grid's work on promoting reform and governance with the case of the Li brothers in Harbin.
In the fourth episode of the feature film "Sweeping the Black and Eliminating Evil - For the Peace of the People's Republic of China", part of the cases of Li Wei, former deputy general manager of State Grid Harbin Power Supply Company, and Li Tong, former general manager of Harbin Electric Power Industry Group Corporation, were disclosed. : "The two have been entrenched in Harbin's electric power industry for many years, relying on electricity for electricity, and using electricity for personal gain, hindering the improvement of local people's livelihood and economic and social development."
After the incident, the discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the State Grid Corporation of China supervised the Heilongjiang Electric Power Company to investigate management loopholes, systematically implement rectification measures, and resolutely eliminate blind spots and blind spots in industry supervision.
At the same time, report the situation to the company's party group, interview the heads of relevant business departments, analyze the reasons, draw inferences from other cases, deepen reforms, and promote the implementation of fundamental measures at the company level.
State Grid has carried out special rectifications such as customer business expansion projects throughout the system, and comprehensively investigated problems in business expansion reporting system standards, business processes, customer project management and other aspects, plugged loopholes in a timely manner, and promoted the improvement of the business environment.
"Relying on electricity to eat electricity" and using electricity for personal gain are typical problems of electricity corruption.
Electric power is an asset-heavy industry, with large investment volume, high output value, and many construction and renovation projects, and a large amount of funds are circulating in key links.
Some power "worms" rely on corporate resources and use their power to engage in power and money transactions to enrich their private pockets.
From the perspective of the fields involved, capital-intensive, resource-rich, and power-concentrated, areas related to investment and the market have relatively high integrity risks, such as bidding and procurement, business expansion projects, etc.
When comparing and analyzing the violations of discipline and law in the past five years, the discipline inspection and supervision team of China Southern Power Grid Corporation found that the number of cases in material procurement, marketing, engineering construction and other fields ranked high, belonging to the high-incidence area of corruption.
2 The material procurement work is closely related to external enterprises, and the whole process management of material procurement is strengthened from the source
Electric power enterprises are capital and technology-intensive enterprises, and more than half of electricity production and construction costs are consumed on raw materials and equipment.
Material procurement is an important link in the production and operation of an enterprise, and material procurement management positions are positions of real power, which are prone to corruption.
"Material procurement has a high degree of external correlation, high capital intensity, and many inducement factors, so the risk of integrity is also high." The relevant person in charge of the discipline inspection and supervision team of China Southern Power Grid Corporation said that some internal personnel and suppliers colluded internally and externally for profit, and some illegally intervened Interfering with the bidding process and results, "clearly and secretly" by means of collusion in bidding, replacing public bidding with internal invitations or price inquiry, and artificially setting restrictions when compiling bidding documents; some make use of the approval power in hand , The decision-making power takes care of specific suppliers, and the bidding, inquiry and price comparison system process is useless, and the decision is made directly.
Liu Junmin, from September 2013 to January 2016, served as the Deputy Director of the Operation Department of China Resources Power Holdings Co., Ltd. Jiangsu Branch, responsible for material procurement.
Of the bribes it received, more than a third came from material suppliers.
During Liu Junmin's tenure, the company's procurement was divided into two aspects: bidding and daily inquiry and price comparison.
Among them, high-cost businesses such as bulk commodities, construction projects, and installation projects need to go through the bidding process, while daily spare parts, commonly used consumables, etc. go through the inquiry and price comparison process, that is, use the company's self-developed system for inquiry and price comparison. Suppliers who pass the price comparison will be added to the candidate list, and then three suppliers will be launched to compare prices and ask for the best supply plan.
"From the perspective of bribery, most of them occurred during the period when Liu Junmin was in charge of the daily inquiry and price comparison of corporate material procurement. This position has great power." Zhong Yong, director of the Ninth Examination and Investigation Office of the Disciplinary and Supervision Commission of Shuyang County, Jiangsu Province, told reporters that the frequency of inquiry and comparison work High, one product, one inquiry, one product, one purchase, the power plant has to conduct dozens of inquiries and price comparisons for each item of supplies almost every week, and the last "approval" of the inquiry and price comparison process is in the hands of Liu Junmin.
Suppliers are all scrambling to send money and gifts, and Liu Junmin has a close relationship with Liu Junmin. Liu Junmin modified the supplier according to his own "business judgment", and changed the bidder who inquired and compared the winning bid for various reasons. Often won the bid.
The working mechanism of bidding, inquiry and price comparison is not perfect, the implementation is not in place, and the supervision and management is seriously absent, which provides an opportunity for rent-seeking of material procurement power.
"In the bidding process of material procurement, the method of inviting bidding was adopted at that time, and only a few enterprises could participate in the bidding and bidding, and no special supervision positions were set up. For example, the steam direct buried pipe business of power plants generally involves more than ten million funds. After the initial inspection of the company's operation department, the shortlist was directly formed." Zhong Yong said that because the material procurement bidding is not open and transparent, Liu Junmin gave the bidding opportunity to his "favorite" suppliers, and even some suppliers. Bid first and win the bid, and then enter the list.
After investigation, during this period, Liu Junmin accepted bribes from suppliers such as Sun Mou, Zhang Mou, Li Mou, Zheng Mou, Hu Mou, etc., with a total of 290,000 yuan and 10,000 US dollars in bribes.
At present, Liu Junmin has been expelled from the party, terminated from the labor relationship, and has been transferred to the judicial organ for serious violations of discipline and law and suspected duty crimes.
To solve the problem of corruption in material procurement, we must prevent and control from the source, strengthen the management of the whole process of material procurement, and keep an eye on key people and key links.
According to the relevant person in charge of the discipline inspection and supervision team of China Southern Power Grid Corporation, China Southern Power Grid Corporation starts from the construction of a modern digital supply chain system, and strives to build a real-time intelligent digital supervision system. New technologies such as intelligent identification have improved the "technical prevention" level of bidding and procurement risks.
3 A small number of people seek rent and profit in power supply marketing, project construction and other links, and the corruption of grassroots small and micro power cannot be ignored
Sorting out the corruption cases in the power industry in the case reports from all over the country, from the perspective of management level, there are not only the leaders of power enterprises and other key minority who use decision-making, approval and other powers to seek rent and seek personal gain, but also the power of small and micro grass-roots units who embezzle and embezzle their power in their daily operations. Take the card to ask for” and other flies and ants rot and eat away at state-owned assets.
Although some staff members are not high in rank, they are in important positions or hold positions in key links.
The marketing services of power supply companies are directly oriented to customers and serve customers. The work involves the interests of electricity customers, construction companies, equipment manufacturers, etc., with strong professionalism and many process links. .
Industry expansion report installation refers to the whole process of electric power enterprises from receiving customers' electricity application to realizing customers' safe electricity use.
After receiving the customer's electricity application, the marketing department determines the power supply plan according to the different nature of electricity consumption, organizes the design and construction of the power supply project, inspects the customer's electrical equipment, signs the electricity supply contract, until the meter is installed to supply power.
"From the installation application to the approval and acceptance, there are many matters in the industry expansion project process, and the integrity risk points are scattered, which is also the difficulty of supervision." The relevant person in charge of the discipline inspection and supervision team of China Southern Power Grid Corporation said that some staff may be in the process of accepting, approving, Acceptance and other links "eat and get cards", or conceal the customer's breach of contract for electricity use, metering device failure, etc.
Some people are "fishing in troubled waters" in the construction of the project.
A complete power engineering project requires auxiliary projects such as cable trough boxes, cable brackets, and installation of security equipment.
Although Wang, a former staff member of Taicang Power Supply Company of State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Co., Ltd., has a low rank, the pre-coordination, contract signing, construction supervision, and completion acceptance of the city's 35-110KV substation project need to be done by others. With a certain right to speak and dominate, the main basis for the audit of auxiliary projects within the company is also the confirmation list of works issued by Wang.
In an audit of the fund payment voucher, the business department found that some infrastructure projects had problems such as offline circulation without a QR code in the contract, and doubtful contract seals.
The Disciplinary Committee of Taicang Power Supply Company and the local Disciplinary Committee and Supervisory Committee jointly handled the case, and seriously investigated and dealt with the crime of Wang who took advantage of his position to manage the construction of the substation project in the jurisdiction, and defrauded the project money by falsely increasing the amount of work and fictitious engineering projects. Wang was given a "double-opening" sanction and transferred to the judicial organ for processing.
In the end, Wang was sentenced to seven years and two months in prison and a fine of RMB 500,000.
After the case occurred, the Disciplinary Committee of State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Co., Ltd. issued 2 disciplinary inspection proposals to relevant units to promote reforms with the case, and focused on the governance of "micro-corruption", and compiled a "micro-corruption" report covering 8 fields and 135 positions. Integrity Manual for Key Posts", which lists the "should" and "prohibited" matters in a list.
The company's Discipline Inspection Commission also produced a warning education video based on the case, and held a warning education meeting in the system, which produced a good effect of "investigating and punishing one case and warning one".
4 Strengthen the restriction and supervision on the operation of power, and provide a solid disciplinary guarantee for the high-quality development of the power industry
Power grid enterprises have a large number of points, a wide range, and a long management chain. They must pay close attention to the power of small and micro enterprises and prevent flies and ants from eroding state-owned assets. They must work hard to strengthen grass-roots supervision and daily supervision.
Disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels of the State Grid Corporation focus on key areas and key links where corruption is prone to occur frequently, combine daily supervision and special supervision, promote the extension of supervision tentacles to the grassroots, and weave a dense supervision network.
The discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the State Grid Corporation of China keeps an eye on key areas, and organizes discipline inspection commissions at all levels to carry out special supervision such as electricity installation business, integrity risk management and control of grassroots power supply stations, integrity risk management and control in the business environment, and governance of "three designations".
Focusing on rural revitalization and power supply services in agriculture-related fields, the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Team of the State Grid Corporation of China has issued the supervision and inspection work manual and the focus of supervision work, focusing on 15 supervision tasks such as the transformation and upgrading of rural power grids, and paying close attention to the implementation of policies, responsibility implementation, project arrangements, and funds. In key links such as approval, 107 inspection points in 24 categories have been refined, and 2,942 supervision and inspections have been organized by discipline inspection commissions at all levels.
According to the regulations, the power supply department is only responsible for accepting customers' electricity application, formulating and reviewing power supply plans, and accepting power connection work. The design and construction of customers' electricity projects should be determined by customers themselves.
However, a small number of staff directly, indirectly or in disguise designate the design, construction and equipment and material supply units of the customer's power receiving project, restrict or exclude the fair competition of other units, and damage the interests of power users.
In the supervision of the special governance action for the "three designations" of the customer's electricity project, the Disciplinary Committee of the State Grid Shandong Electric Power Company identified 11 supervision points in 3 stages, and issued a cumulative number of common problems in key areas such as photovoltaic project grid connection and material bidding. 48 disciplinary inspection proposals were issued to promote and improve the system, plug loopholes, and improve management.
Strengthen the restriction and supervision of the operation of power, not only to manage small and micro power, but also to focus on the "key minority", and strengthen the supervision of the leadership team, especially the "top leaders".
The Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of China Southern Power Grid Corporation studied and sorted out the key points of supervision, formulated the "Company Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team Strengthens the Division of Supervision Tasks for the "Top Leader" and the Leading Group, refined 22 supervision measures, and strengthened the supervision of the party committee, the board of directors and other discussions and decisions. Strengthen the supervision of lower-level leadership teams.
At the same time, the discipline inspection and supervision team of China Southern Power Grid Corporation urges and guides the discipline inspection agencies of all subordinate units to strengthen the supervision of the "top leaders" and leading groups.
For example, the Disciplinary Committee of Guizhou Power Grid Corporation explored the use of big data supervision methods, established an APP system for the integrity and self-discipline evaluation of leading cadres, conducted evaluations on the "top leaders" of the prefecture and municipal power supply bureaus through 40 evaluation indicators, and conducted face-to-face political supervision on the "top leaders" of 3 units conversation.
The discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the State Grid Corporation of China has gradually strengthened the restriction and supervision of the operation of power, paid close attention to key areas and links with strong policy support, intensive investment and concentrated resources, and punished corruption such as relying on enterprises to eat enterprises and transferring interests.
Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the number of cases investigated and handled by the State Grid Corporation of China has maintained a continuous growth trend, and it has continued to maintain upright conduct, discipline and anti-corruption efforts, and eliminate obstacles that affect the reform and development of enterprises.
In terms of doing a good job in the "second half article" of case investigation and handling, the State Grid Corporation Party Group and the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Group stationed in State Grid Corporation jointly issued the "Implementation Measures for Deepening the Symptoms and Promoting Reforms by Cases", clarifying the responsibility system for promoting reforms by cases, Work mechanism, work carrier, work focus and rectification requirements, etc.
In 2021, disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels of the State Grid Corporation of China will issue a total of 1,463 disciplinary inspection and supervision recommendations on issues such as rectification of relying on enterprises to eat enterprises and safe production, and promote the formation of a virtuous circle of researching problems, promoting rectification, and improving the system.
"Combining with the actual situation of power grid enterprises, insist on seeking progress while maintaining stability, addressing both the symptoms and root causes, integrating upholding discipline and anti-corruption with deepening reforms, improving systems, and promoting governance, and promoting the integration of those who dare not, cannot, and do not want to be corrupt, so as to provide high-quality development for the enterprise. Provide a solid disciplinary guarantee." said the main person in charge of the discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the State Grid Corporation of China.
