State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission: Central power generation enterprises will increase investment in clean energy construction

The output of central coal enterprises hit a record high. By the end of 2021, 42 coal mines of central enterprises will be included in the list of emergency supply guarantees, and the nuclear production capacity is expected to increase by 94.1 million tons/year. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the average daily coal production capacity reached 2.95 million tons, an increase of more than 17% over the first three quarters of 2021. In 2021, the output of coal enterprises of central enterprises exceeded the 1 billion ton mark for the first time.

In the face of the profound changes that are taking place in the current international environment and the global energy pattern system, China's energy security and stable supply are also facing many challenges. Peng Huagang said that the SASAC will unswervingly do a good job in energy security, effectively play the role of "stabilizer" and "ballast stone" of energy supply, make greater contributions to national energy security, and provide strong support for high-quality economic development.

In addition, Peng Huagang pointed out that the central power generation enterprises will increase investment in clean energy construction, increase the proportion of clean energy installed capacity of central enterprises, and continue to play the role of the main force of coal-fired power generation units, reasonably plan the scale of new coal-fired power installations, increase the efficient and clean transformation of existing coal-fired power units, and improve the safety and environmental protection level of coal-fired power units. Increase the construction of coal reserve bases, increase coal storage, and ensure that thermal coal stocks are at a reasonable level.

Fifth, continue to strengthen publicity, education and guidance. Carefully organize the National Energy Conservation Publicity Week and Low Carbon Day activities, and carry out a series of activities such as video exhibitions on energy conservation and low carbon themes of state-owned central enterprises, science popularization and training of energy conservation and carbon reduction knowledge, so that the concept of green and low-carbon will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In terms of helping the Winter Olympics, Peng Huagang introduced that PetroChina and Sinopec will make every effort to ensure the construction and operation of the Winter Olympics venues, oil and gas supply and the construction of new hydrogen refueling stations, and provide professional, high-quality, clean and reliable oil and gas products and services for the Winter Olympics. The State Grid has completed the construction of the Winter Olympics power operation guarantee command center, improving the power supply reliability of the competition area to 99.999%, which is the highest standard of the previous Winter Olympics, and achieving 100% green power supply for all venues for the first time in the history of the Olympic Games.
