The State Council forwarded the "Eleventh Five-Year" power system reform implementation opinions

       The electric power industry is an important basic industry for national economic and social development. During the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" period, my country's electric power system reform has made significant progress, the separation of government and enterprises, and the separation of factories and networks have been basically realized. The competition in the power generation field has been formed. The construction was further strengthened, and progress was made in the construction of the power supervision system. In the process of promoting the reform of the electric power system, safe production and normal operation of electric power have been ensured, the basic stability of cadres and workers has been maintained, and the rapid development of the electric power industry has strongly supported the development of the national economy and society. However, the results obtained in the reform of the power system are only staged, and the reform tasks have not been fully completed, and some new situations and problems have emerged. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, we must seize the favorable opportunity to alleviate the contradiction between power supply and demand, persist in proceeding from China's reality, learn from international successful reform experience, consolidate the existing reform results, continue to deepen the reform of the power system, and promote the sustainable health of the power industry Development, to ensure that the people receive high-quality and low-cost power services. In order to further unify the thinking and clarify the reform tasks in the next stage, the following opinions on deepening the reform of the electric power system during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period are hereby offered:

1. The overall thinking and basic principles of deepening the reform of the electric power system during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan"

(1) General idea.

       During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, deepening the reform of the electric power system should focus on solving outstanding problems such as unreasonable power source structure, relatively lagging power grid construction, and insufficient fundamental role of the market in the allocation of electric power resources, fully implement the scientific development concept, and focus on transforming the electric power industry. Growth mode, in accordance with the reform direction and overall goals determined in the "Notice of the State Council on Printing and Distributing the Power System Reform Plan" (Guo Fa [2002] No. Market construction, creating conditions to steadily implement the pilot project of separating transmission and distribution and deepening the pilot project of rural power system reform, actively cultivate market players, comprehensively promote electricity price reform, accelerate the transformation of government functions, and initially form a fair competition, openness and order under the government's macro-control and effective supervision , Healthy development of the electricity market system.

(2) Basic principles.

       1. Persist in promoting development through reform. Promoting the comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development of the electric power industry is the starting point and foothold of the reform of the electric power system. Starting from the implementation of the national energy strategy, through system and mechanism innovation, we must transform the growth mode of the power industry, optimize the power structure, speed up the construction of the power grid, improve the quality of development, and promote the stable, healthy, coordinated development and safe operation of the power industry, so as to benefit the economy and society. Rapid development provides reliable power protection.

       2. Adhere to the direction of market-oriented reform. Proceeding from our country's national conditions, we will unswervingly promote the power market reform, further break the monopoly, establish and improve the power management system, power price formation mechanism and legal and regulatory system that are compatible with the socialist market economy. Under the government's macro-control and effective supervision , to give greater play to the fundamental role of the market in allocating resources.

       3. Adhere to overall planning, step-by-step implementation, and key breakthroughs. Objectively understand the favorable conditions and unfavorable factors of the power system reform, do a good job in the overall planning and overall planning of the reform, and clarify the implementation steps. It is necessary to grasp the main contradictions in the reform, strengthen the matching of various reform measures, implement key breakthroughs, and actively promote reforms in key areas.

       4. Correctly handle the relationship between reform, development, security and stability. The purpose of the reform is for better development, and safety and stability are the prerequisites for doing a good job in power system reform. It is necessary to earnestly do a good job in the safe production of electric power, improve the emergency plan, eliminate hidden dangers in time, and ensure the safe and reliable supply of electric power. It is necessary to carry out in-depth investigation and research, and for reforms that are complex and difficult, they must be piloted first and gradually rolled out to ensure the stability of the power workforce and create favorable conditions for the reform.

2. The main task of deepening the reform of the power system during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan"

       (1) Promptly deal with the remaining problems of the separation of power plants and power grids, and gradually promote the reform of the main and auxiliary power grid enterprises. Consolidate the results of separation of factories and networks, complete the transfer of assets of factories and networks as soon as possible, solve relevant remaining problems, and prevent new separation of factories and networks. Standardize the construction of power generation transmission projects, straighten out the business relationship between power generation companies and power grid companies, and create a market environment for fair competition. It is necessary to steadily implement the reform of the main and auxiliary separation of power grid enterprises, gradually realize the decoupling of auxiliary business units from power grid enterprises, and actively promote the separation of power grids from "tertiary industries" and diversified business enterprises. Properly solve the problem that employees of power grid enterprises hold equity in power generation enterprises. Relevant departments should promptly dispose of reserved and temporary power generation assets in the power grid, strengthen the supervision and management of asset disposal, ensure that the realization of state-owned assets operates in accordance with laws and regulations, and that funds are rationally arranged and used.

       (2) Accelerate the construction of the electricity market, optimize dispatching methods, and strive to build an open and orderly electricity market system that is in line with national conditions. Conscientiously summarize the pilot experience in the construction of regional power markets, adapt measures to local conditions, and accelerate the construction of regional power market platforms. Improve market operation rules and supervision methods, properly handle the relationship between power supply, dispatch, and electricity sales, gradually realize the bidding of power generation companies on the Internet, promote direct transactions between large users and power generation companies, and gradually establish a market mechanism for fair competition. Strengthen regional grid construction and cross-regional networking, further promote cross-provincial and cross-regional power transactions, and standardize the order of transactions. Pay close attention to the study of the relationship between dispatching and trading institutions, and improve the organizational system of trading and dispatching institutions in accordance with the requirements for fair competition. Prioritize the scheduling of renewable energy, nuclear power and other clean energy power generation, encourage high-efficiency and environmentally friendly units to generate more power, give full play to the role of market mechanisms, and establish and implement energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and economical power generation dispatching methods as soon as possible.
