"We must follow the trend and take advantage of it, promote the high-quality development of my country's new energy with greater efforts, provide safe and reliable energy guarantee for Chinese-style modernization, and make greater contributions to building a clean and beautiful world."
On the afternoon of February 29, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee conducted the twelfth collective study session on new energy technology and my country’s energy security.
This is the second collective study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee since the beginning of the year. The content focuses on the high-quality development of new energy and releases a positive signal for accelerating the transformation of my country's energy structure.
The energy job must be in our own hands.
Promoting the high-quality development of new energy and accelerating the transformation of the energy structure are urgent needs to ensure national energy security.
Based on the energy resource endowment of "rich in coal, poor in oil, and low in gas", my country's energy development still faces a series of challenges such as huge demand pressure, many supply constraints, and arduous tasks of green and low-carbon transformation.
"Energy security is related to the overall economic and social development." "To deal with these challenges, the way out is to vigorously develop new energy."
In his important speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward higher requirements for the high-quality development of new energy and pointed out the direction to ensure energy development and security.
To promote the high-quality development of new energy and accelerate the transformation of the energy structure, we need to grasp an important principle—coordinate the development of new energy and national energy security.
General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed during collective study that we should pay attention to the relationship between "new energy and traditional energy, the overall situation and the local area, the government and the market, energy development and conservation and utilization".
These "four pairs of relationships" are the requirements of "grasping the overall situation", emphasizing that the withdrawal of traditional energy must be based on the safety and reliability of new energy; emphasizing that we must not only enhance the national awareness of a game of chess to ensure the formation of synergy, but also adapt to local conditions and combine it with the specific regional conditions ; Emphasis on promoting a better combination of effective government and effective markets; Emphasis on accelerating the formation of resource-saving industrial structures, production and lifestyles.
To promote the high-quality development of new energy and accelerate the transformation of the energy structure, we need to seize a key - focus on key energy fields and major needs, rationally choose technical routes, strengthen joint research on key core technologies, and cultivate energy technology and its related industries into a driving force for our country. It is a new growth point for industrial upgrading and promotes the development of new productive forces.
At present, my country's wind power and photovoltaic industry has achieved a huge leap from "following" and "running parallel" to "leading".
From the perspective of the industrial chain, my country's new energy industry leads the world.
From a technological perspective, our country also maintains a large international competitive advantage.
However, we must also clearly realize that the bottleneck of long-term energy storage technology is still a major "short board" restricting the development of new energy. In the future, we need to give full play to the advantages of the national system, collaborate with industry, academia and research institutes to strengthen technical research on long-term energy storage, and Explore newer forms of energy storage.
To promote the high-quality development of new energy and accelerate the transformation of the energy structure, we need to strengthen basic support-promote the intelligent transformation of power grid infrastructure and the construction of smart microgrids to ensure that new energy is not only "generated" but also "used well."
The power grid is an important infrastructure, covering urban and rural areas and connecting thousands of households.
Promoting the transformation of the energy structure requires the power grid to be stronger and more reliable, and to meet the access needs of new entities and new business formats such as large-scale distributed new energy, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, new energy storage, and virtual power plants; it must be more intelligent and flexible, starting from the traditional " Transform from passive one-way radiating network to active two-way interactive system.
These new deployments also contain the direction of future new infrastructure development.
To promote the high-quality development of new energy and accelerate the transformation of the energy structure, it is also necessary to deepen international cooperation in new energy science and technology innovation - to advance cooperation in the new energy industry chain in an orderly manner and to build a new win-win model for energy green and low-carbon transformation.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has always attached great importance to international cooperation in the field of new energy and maintaining the stability and security of the global industrial and supply chains.
This collective study further emphasized the in-depth participation in the reform of international energy governance, demonstrating my country's determination and actions to firmly promote high-level opening up and help build a clean and beautiful world.
