Supporting Chinese-style modernization with energy transformation and development
Party Group of the National Energy Administration of the Communist Party of China
Energy is an important material foundation for the survival and development of humankind, and the low-carbon development of energy has a bearing on the future of humankind. Under the guidance of the new energy security strategy of "four revolutions and one cooperation" put forward by General Secretary Xi Jinping, China's energy transformation has made historic achievements, and has taken a path of energy transformation that is in line with the national conditions, conforms to the trend of global development, and adapts to the requirements of the times. The Decision of the Third Plenary Session of the Twentieth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) focuses closely on the theme of promoting Chinese-style modernization, breaks down the strategic initiatives to further deepen the reform in a comprehensive manner, and puts forward new deployments and new requirements for the reform and development of energy, which we should carefully study, deeply understand and accurately grasp, so as to support Chinese-style modernization with energy transformation.
Deep understanding of the remarkable achievements of China's energy transition
Since the new era, China has adhered to the ecological priority, green and low-carbon development path, unswervingly implement the new strategy of energy security, energy transformation and development continue to take a new step, a strong guarantee of high-quality economic and social development of the energy needs, and effectively support the construction of a beautiful China.
The structural transformation of energy consumption has achieved remarkable results. Effectively implementing the policy of prioritizing energy conservation, energy consumption per unit of GDP has declined by more than 261 TP3T since the 18th Party Congress, saving about 1.4 billion tons of standard coal in energy consumption. Continuously expanding the scale of clean energy utilization, the proportion of clean energy consumption will reach 26.4% in 2023, 10.9 percentage points higher than that of 10 years ago, the proportion of coal consumption will drop by 12.1 percentage points, and the proportion of green electricity consumption will reach about 36%. Deepening the promotion of electric energy substitution, the electrification rate of end-use energy in the whole society will reach 28%, about 7 percentage points higher than that of 2014.
The supply capacity of green energy has been greatly improved. New energy development has led the world, with the installed capacity 10 times larger than 10 years ago, ranking first in the world for many consecutive years, accounting for about 40% of the world's total, and pushing the installed capacity of non-fossil energy power generation to historically exceed that of thermal power. Renewable energy annual power generation reached about 3 trillion kilowatt-hours, accounting for about 1/3 of the whole society's electricity consumption, of which, wind powerphotovoltaic power generationThe volume exceeds the national urban and rural residential electricity consumption. Wind power and photovoltaic products have covered more than 200 countries and regions around the world, and the cost of wind power and photovoltaic power generation has dropped by 60% and 80% respectively over the past 10 years, which has vigorously pushed down the cost of energy transition, and promoted the global energy transition and sustainable development.
The development of new energy productivity has been accelerated. The modernization level of the industrial chain has been continuously upgraded, with the completion of the R&D, design and manufacturing system for the entire wind power and photovoltaic industrial chain, the conversion efficiency of mass-produced advanced crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells exceeding 25%, and the maximum stand-alone capacity of offshore wind power generators reaching 18 megawatts. Comprehensive mastery of large-scale third-generation pressurized water reactor and high-temperature gas-cooled reactor fourth-generation nuclear power technology, "Hualong One", one million kilowatts of hydropower and a number of other major projects into operation. The new mode of energy and new forms of business to speed up the development and growth of new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, photovoltaic products, "the new three" annual exports exceeded one trillion yuan mark, helping China's industrial chain advantages continue to consolidate and strengthen.
The construction of a beautiful China has been strongly supported. The guarantee of green energy for people's production and life has been continuously strengthened, and the rate of clean heating in the northern region is close to 80%. The world's largest charging infrastructure system has been built, supporting China's new energy automobile production and sales to rank first in the world for nine consecutive years, with a retention rate of more than 20 million vehicles. The number of coal-fired boilers nationwide has been reduced by more than 80%, and more than 95% of coal-powered generating units have realized ultra-low emissions, with emission levels comparable to those of natural gas-fired generating units. Continuously promoting the upgrading of the quality of refined oil products, the quality of refined oil products has reached the world's advanced level.
Enhance the power and vitality of transformation and development by deepening reforms in the energy sector
The Decision of the Third Plenary Session of the Twentieth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasizes accelerating the planning and construction of a new type of energy system, and at the same time proposes a series of major reform initiatives on deepening the reform of the energy management system, perfecting new energy consumption and regulation policies and measures, and strengthening the construction of multilateral cooperation platforms in the field of energy, which points out the direction and path to further promote the energy transformation.
