International Energy News: On the 13th, Xu Yongsheng, Director of the Electric Power Department of the National Energy Administration, stated at the press conference on the power supply and demand situation and safeguard measures that in the first 5 months, the supply and demand of electricity in some areas was tight, there was a decline in hydropower output, coal imports decreased, etc. The impact of supply factors, but more importantly, the excessive growth in electricity demand “From a deep level, it is still largely due to the irrational economic structure, extensive development approaches, excessive dependence on energy and resource consumption, and institutional mechanisms that need to be improved. Caused by the problem."
Although, the excessive growth of the demand side has been officially recognized as an important reason for the shortage of electricity supply and demand in many provinces that have recently spread, and ways to curb the unreasonable electricity demand of high-energy-consuming industries have been achieved by means of tariff adjustments. However, a number of experts said in an interview with reporters that the use of electricity prices, etc. to curb the use of electricity in high-energy-consuming industries is not effective, we should take deep into account the overheating of local government investment in the recovery of high energy-consuming industries.
Earlier, Liu Tienan, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and director of the National Energy Administration, stated at the summer power conference in China that the rapid growth of some high-energy-consuming industries brought about a rapid increase in energy demand.
The rapid growth of high-energy-consuming industries can be seen from this year's electricity consumption data. From January to April, the electricity consumption of heavy industry increased by 894.5 billion kwh, which was a year-on-year increase of 12.07%. According to the data released by the CEC, electricity consumption in the four key industries of chemicals, building materials, iron and steel smelting, and non-ferrous metal smelting increased by 9.4% from January to February, accounting for 32.7% of the total electricity consumption in the society. And the proportion of total electricity consumption in the society is significantly higher than in the fourth quarter of last year. From January to April, the country’s crude steel production increased by 8.3% year-on-year to 229.71 million tons. In April, the steel industry produced a record high daily crude steel output of 1.969 million tons.
Cai Zhizhou, a researcher at the Peking University’s China National Economic Accounting and Economic Growth Research Center, said in an interview with reporters that the previous state’s price increase indicates that while the country is strengthening access to high-energy-consuming industries, it has begun to gradually use market economic levers such as price to curb the situation. The expansion of these industries.
However, Professor Lin Boqiang, director of the China Energy Economic Research Center at Xiamen University, believes that although some provinces and municipalities may raise the price of electricity on June 1, they can, to a certain extent, curb the rate of expansion of high-energy-consuming industries, but in the short term, the effect is not obvious. "Because these companies have already invested in equipment and capital, they will not stop production due to a small increase in electricity prices. Therefore, changing the mode of economic development is a long-term process," he told reporters.
