A few days ago, the National Energy Administration held an online press conference to announce the energy situation and the development of renewable energy in the first quarter of 2021.

Significant increase in energy consumption

In the first quarter, my country's economy achieved a "good start", and the domestic economy showed a sustained and stable recovery trend, which drove a substantial increase in electricity consumption throughout the society.

According to the relevant person in charge of the National Energy Administration, the total electricity consumption in the first quarter increased by 21.

In terms of industries, the power consumption of the secondary industry is the main driving force for the growth of electricity consumption in the whole society, contributing 72.

Demand for thermal coal is growing rapidly.

The contribution rate of industrial gas consumption reached a new high.

The relevant person in charge of the National Energy Administration analyzed that the acceleration of industrial production is the main driving force for the growth of electricity consumption in the whole society.

　　The clean energy industry continues to grow

　　According to the person in charge, in the first quarter, the National Energy Administration gave full play to the role of the guarantee-supply-day scheduling mechanism and made every effort to ensure energy supply.

　　Electricity supply is generally stable, and orderly electricity consumption is implemented in some areas.

　　The supply of oil and gas has grown steadily, and the processing volume of crude oil has risen.

　　The coal supply is relatively sufficient, and the coal supply is generally stable during the peak winter.

　　At the same time, the clean energy industry continues to grow.

　　Promote the high-quality development of renewable energy

　　According to reports, in the first quarter, my country's renewable energy continued to maintain high-quality development.

　　The installed capacity has steadily expanded.

　　During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, how to promote the high-quality development of renewable energy?

　　Relevant person in charge introduced that in order to achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, the National Energy Administration will adhere to the goal orientation, follow the market-oriented direction, strengthen all-round policy guarantees, and promote the high-quality development of renewable energy in the new era:

　　Strengthen the responsibility weight guidance mechanism for power consumption of renewable energy, follow the principle of goal orientation and responsibility sharing, and guide all regions to strengthen the development and utilization of renewable energy through the weight of responsibility, and promote cross-provincial renewable energy power trading; improve energy "dual control" "System, establish an incentive mechanism to encourage the use and priority use of renewable energy; improve the full guaranteed purchase system of renewable energy, do a good job of linking up with market-oriented transactions, and encourage renewable energy to participate in the market in an orderly manner to achieve full consumption; improve renewable energy Renewable energy price formation mechanism, stable investment expectations, mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties to develop and construct renewable energy; improve the green energy consumption mechanism, improve the green power certification mechanism, establish a green energy consumption certification and labeling system, and actively guide green energy consumption; strengthen policies Coordination, focusing on strengthening the policy support of renewable energy land and sea, fiscal, taxation and finance, investment and financing, etc.
