加强能源形势分析和需求预测。推进能源供需分析体系建设,强化苗头性倾向性潜在性问题研判,健全能源数据信息报送机制。组织分省区滚动开展月度、季度能源需求预测,可能出现时段性、区域性供需紧张的地区,要从资源落实、基础设施布局、新建产能等方面提前谋划应对措施,保障能源稳定供应,防止市场供应和价格大起大落。

Strengthen energy regulation. We should deepen the supervision of links where there are natural monopolies such as power grids and oil and gas pipeline networks, step up supervision on fairness and openness, dispatching transactions, prices and costs, contract performance, power grid electricity purchases, and other areas, and strengthen the supervision of the electric coal inventory, unplanned shutdowns, obstructed unit output, and orderly electricity consumption. We should strengthen energy administrative and law enforcement work, improve supervision and law enforcement systems and seriously investigate and punish behaviors such as the “Three Designations” (三指定) in users’ power-consuming projects and the illegal supply of power to virtual currency “mining” projects. We should give full play to the role of the 12398 energy supervision hotline, ensure the openness of Internet and other new channels for complaints and reports, and promptly study and solve prominent problems reported by the people.

We should do a good job in the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan Modern Energy Systems Plan and the plans for various sub-sectors and we should implement the tasks and measures specified in the Implementation Plan for Promoting Green and Low-carbon Energy Transformation and Doing a Good Job in Carbon Peaking and the Opinions on Improving Institutional Mechanisms and Policy Measures for Green and Low-Carbon Energy Transition. We should strengthen the linkage and coordination of planning policies, strengthen the supervision of the implementation of energy planning, policies, and major projects, promoting effective policy implementation. Taking into account the new situation and new requirements, we should strengthen policy reserve research on the implementation of the new strategy for energy security.

加快能源立法和规划实施。推动能源法制定,推进电力法、可再生能源法、煤炭法、石油储备条例制修订。抓好《“十四五”现代能源体系规划》以及各分领域规划的实施,落实《推动能源绿色低碳转型 做好碳达峰工作的实施方案》《关于完善能源绿色低碳转型体制机制和政策措施的意见》明确的任务举措。加强规划政策衔接协同,强化能源规划、政策和重大项目实施情况监管,推进政策落地见效。结合新形势新要求,加强落实能源安全新战略的政策储备研究。

Deepen marketization reforms in key areas. We should promote the construction of a unified national electricity market system and do a good job in the construction of electricity markets in the South, Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and other regions. We should improve the market system in which medium and long-term transactions, spot transactions, and auxiliary service transactions are organically connected and promote the transition of qualified electricity spot pilots to long-term operation.
