National Energy Administration: to ensure the bottom coal supply next year

Reporters learned from the national energy work conference in 2020 held on the 16th that in 2019, we will further promote structural coal capacity reduction, organize and implement classified disposal of coal mines with an annual output of less than 300000 tons, and close and withdraw more than 450 backward coal mines. We eliminated and shut down 20 million kilowatt coal-fired power units, and overfulfilled the target of capacity reduction. At the same time, we will continue to promote the release of high-quality coal production capacity, with an annual production capacity of 1.2 million tons and above reaching three quarters of the total production capacity, and further concentrate on resource rich areas. Zhang Jianhua, Secretary of the Party group and director of the national energy administration, said that in 2020, we need to stabilize the foundation, optimize production capacity, and effectively guarantee the bottom line of coal. We will gradually eliminate the coal mines with less than 300000 tons of backward production capacity, approve the construction of large-scale coal mines in an orderly manner, coordinate the development of coal and coal power, coal to oil, coal to gas and other related industries, reasonably arrange the scale and timing of coal power construction and production, strive to increase the proportion of electric coal in coal consumption, continuously reduce the coal consumption for power supply, and steadily develop coal to oil and gas.

Zhang Jianhua stressed that it is necessary to accelerate the construction of natural gas pipeline network, form a "one network in China" as soon as possible, take multiple measures to increase the reserve capacity, and establish a multi-level gas storage system with underground gas storage and coastal LNG terminal as the main, inland intensive and large-scale LNG tanks as the auxiliary, and pipeline network interconnection as the support. Among them, the reform of oil and gas system is indispensable. The state energy administration proposes to promote the improvement of the management system of oil and gas exploration and exploitation, cooperate with the formulation of relevant access conditions, actively promote the formulation of the measures for the competitive transfer and withdrawal of exploration blocks, improve the operation mechanism of oil and gas pipeline network, focus on the orderly transfer of pipeline network assets, promote the smooth operation of the state oil and gas pipeline network companies, and improve the mechanism for the sharing of pipeline business interests. Zhang Jianhua said that in 2020, the national energy administration will earnestly focus on the development and consumption of clean energy, actively promote the parity of onshore wind power and photovoltaic power generation on the Internet, and realize the overall parity of onshore wind power in 2021; at the same time, promote the construction of coastal nuclear power projects, promote the coordinated development of power system source network load storage, and make great efforts to solve the problem of clean energy consumption in Xinjiang, Gansu, Sichuan and other regions.

At the same time, we should not impractically raise the threshold, or stop eating because of choking to affect the development of new energy. In 2019, China will orderly develop high-quality and advanced production capacity, actively promote the consumption of clean energy, strive to improve the general service level of energy, and take new steps in the transformation and upgrading of energy industry. The data shows that the trend of increasing oil and gas storage and production is good. It is estimated that the upstream exploration and development investment will be 332.1 billion yuan, up 21.9% year on year; the newly increased proved oil and natural gas reserves will reach 1.2 billion tons, 1.4 trillion cubic meters, up 25% and 68% year on year; the crude oil production will reach 191 million tons, reversing the continuous decline since 2016; the natural gas production (excluding coal to gas) will reach 173.3 billion cubic meters, three years in a row The oil and gas exploration and development indicators are higher than the requirements of the "seven year action plan". About 360 million kilowatts, 200 million kilowatts, 190 million kilowatts and 48.74 million kilowatts were installed in hydropower, wind power, photovoltaic power and nuclear power respectively. We will actively promote the access to the Internet of wind power and photovoltaic power at a non subsidized price, and new energy development is entering a new era.
