The relevant responsible comrades of the Development and Reform Commission of Yunnan Province answered questions about the double control of energy consumption.

At present, Yunnan Province is carrying out work related to double control of energy consumption in accordance with the national unified deployment. The reporter interviewed the relevant responsible comrades of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission in this regard.

Q: since the beginning of this year, the achievement of the double control target of energy consumption in Yunnan has been listed as a first-level early warning by the state for two consecutive quarters. What is the main reason for the grim situation? What measures has Yunnan taken?

A: for a long time, the overall level of Yunnan manufacturing industry is low, the proportion of raw material industry is high, the industrial chain is short, and the products are in the middle and low end of the value chain. In 2020, the province's industrial added value accounted for 22.3% of the region's gross domestic product, but industrial energy consumption accounted for about 65% of the province's total energy consumption. Among them, the energy consumption of six high energy-consuming industries, such as non-ferrous smelting, iron and steel, and building materials, accounts for more than 80% of the province's industrial energy consumption. In recent years, Yunnan Province has made great efforts to promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, making every effort to create world-class "three cards", giving full play to the advantages of green energy, based on cluster development and building a high-end manufacturing base, and introduced a number of major projects. As the upstream products of major projects have been completed and put into production one after another, energy consumption has shown a momentum of rapid growth, but the landing of downstream intensive processing projects and the extension of the industrial chain are still in the process of promotion, and it is difficult to significantly increase the added value of products in a short period of time, which is the main reason for the phased "double growth" of the total amount and intensity of energy consumption this year.

Yunnan Province attaches great importance to the work of double control of energy consumption, actively implements the relevant national deployment requirements, promptly formulates and promulgates the key points of double control of energy consumption, defines the objectives and tasks of the regional industry, and resolutely curbs the blind development of the "two high" projects. Strict energy-saving supervision, serious law enforcement of energy use, carry out monthly analysis and early warning of energy consumption, and comprehensively use a variety of measures to strengthen double control of energy consumption. The energy consumption intensity of the province narrowed from 3.3% growth in the first quarter to 1.6% growth in the first half of the year. In promoting the work, we pay attention to the responsibility of compacting the cities, and the state and municipal governments should take measures in accordance with local conditions, and make it clear that in the promotion work, we should pay attention to the ways and methods: first, adhere to the rules and regulations in accordance with the law. we will seriously investigate and deal with projects that have problems in ecological environment protection, land use, energy conservation and other links, and resolutely eliminate backward production capacity in accordance with the law. The second is to fully listen to the opinions of enterprises, conduct investigations and studies on large energy users one by one, fully consider such factors as employee employment, safe production, contract performance, upstream and downstream influence, and implement precise policies to jointly implement the task of double control of energy consumption; third, pay attention to comprehensive cost control, calculate environmental accounts, and guide high-emission and high-pollution enterprises to save energy and reduce emissions. Do a good job in calculating the people's livelihood account, fully consider the energy demand of labor-intensive enterprises and employment-affected enterprises, calculate the economic account, and guide enterprises to extend the industrial chain and increase the added value of their products. On the whole, the rectification and reform work of the unqualified "two high" projects is progressing steadily, and the management and control of energy use in high energy-consuming industries is being carried out in an orderly manner.

Q: recently, there have been fluctuations in the price of yellow phosphorus market. Some people think that it is related to the strict control measures taken by Yunnan. What is the background? What's the actual situation?

A: yellow phosphorus production is a typical "two high" industry. For every 1 ton of yellow phosphorus, about 10 tons of phosphate rock, 2 tons of coke and about 13000 kilowatt hours of electricity are needed. Yunnan yellow phosphorus has a large production capacity, but many enterprises have a design capacity of only 10,000 tons and only produce raw materials, and there are few enterprises that use yellow phosphorus as raw materials for deep processing and comprehensive utilization, complete industrial chain and high added value. Inadequate environmental protection facilities are also easy to cause high pollution. It can be said that the yellow phosphorus industry is the representative of Yunnan's short industrial chain and low added value of products, and it is the epitome of Yunnan's raw material industry. In recent years, the development of Yunnan yellow phosphorus industry is stagnant, the overall benefit of resource utilization is low, the scattered, small and weak problems are more prominent, and the overall technological transformation lags behind, which has a great impact on the environment, which has been the focus of national environmental protection.

Recently, we have taken note of the opinions and suggestions of the parties concerned, paid close attention to the changes in market prices such as yellow phosphorus, and conducted in-depth communication with relevant production enterprises in the province in a timely manner to understand the relevant situation in a timely and comprehensive manner. fully consider the need to effectively stabilize enterprise performance and market supply. At present, the production and operation of yellow phosphorus in Yunnan remains stable as a whole. In the follow-up work, we will continue to pay close attention to the market response, while carrying out overall dynamic optimization of dual control of energy consumption, actively promoting enterprises in industries such as yellow phosphorus and industrial silicon to speed up technological transformation and upgrading, and achieve energy conservation, consumption reduction and efficiency enhancement, while taking into account the needs of multiple objectives, take effective measures to not only resolutely achieve the dual control of energy consumption, but also effectively balance the relationship between all parties.

Q: under the current situation, how can Yunnan achieve the target of double control of energy consumption this year?

A: Yunnan Province attaches great importance to the work of double control of energy consumption and will unswervingly implement the target of double control of energy consumption issued by the state. In the next step, we will focus on the decline in energy consumption intensity, focusing on the following work:

First, the compacted city is responsible for the implementation of the dual control goal. The provincial government bears the overall responsibility for the dual control of energy consumption in the province, and the state and municipal governments are responsible for implementing the target of dual control of energy consumption in this administrative area. We will urge all localities to implement plans for dual control of actual energy consumption, implement key energy users, implement energy consumption control targets, implement responsible persons, do detailed work, and promote it actively and steadily.

The second is to strengthen overall planning and balance to ensure strong, orderly and effective. Establish a daily monitoring and analysis daily report system, strengthen comprehensive analysis and research, adhere to classified and precise policies, and dynamically optimize management and control measures, while ensuring the completion of the target task of double control of energy consumption, comprehensively balance the impact on enterprise operation, employee employment, production safety, market supply and so on.

Third, efforts should be made to promote energy conservation and consumption reduction in key areas. While comprehensively strengthening industrial energy conservation, we will vigorously promote energy conservation in buildings, transportation, consumption and circulation, and public institutions.

The fourth is to improve the assessment methods and strengthen incentives and constraints. According to the "Plan for improving the double Control system of Energy consumption intensity and Total amount" recently issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, we will improve the assessment method of double control of energy consumption in the province, encourage and guide local governments to make room for energy use and exceed the target of reducing energy consumption intensity.

Q: the "two high" projects are the main body of energy consumption. In terms of resolutely curbing the blind development of the "two high" projects, what specific measures does Yunnan have?

A: the Yunnan provincial party committee and provincial government attach great importance to it and conscientiously implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. The main leaders and leaders in charge have held meetings many times to study and arrange resolutely to curb the blind development of the "two high" projects. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission organized various localities to comprehensively carry out a survey of the "two high" projects and sort out the key projects of the "two high schools." it has carried out on-the-spot verification and supervision of rectification and reform together with the departments of Gongxin, ecological and environmental protection, natural resources, housing, urban and rural areas, emergency, market supervision, energy, and statistics. In the next step, we will focus on the following work:

First, we will resolutely clean up and rectify illegal and illegal projects. We will resolutely carry out rectification and reform of the stock "two high" projects that have been verified to fail to meet the requirements; for those "two high" projects under construction that do not have complete procedures for energy assessment and environmental assessment and fail to meet the energy consumption or emission requirements, we shall strictly investigate and deal with them in accordance with the law and seriously rectify and reform them, and only after the rectification and reform is in place can we resume work and production.

The second is to strictly implement the policies issued by the state. We will comprehensively clean up the preferential policies for projects in the "two high" industries, improve the ladder electricity price policy in the electrolytic aluminum industry, and the preferential electricity price policy that has been implemented will be cancelled immediately. Implement the normal off-peak production in the cement industry.

The third is to strictly manage the "two high" projects. Classified disposal and dynamic monitoring of projects under construction, proposed construction and stock. We will strengthen the demonstration of the proposed "two high" projects, raise the access standards for new projects, and strictly control project establishment, energy conservation review, and environmental assessment examination and approval.

The fourth is to strengthen the daily supervision of the "two high" projects. We will strengthen the energy-saving management of key energy-using units, strengthen energy-saving supervision, and continue to promote energy-saving transformation.

Q: under the situation of further improvement of the national double control system of energy consumption, how to better promote the work of dual control of energy consumption in Yunnan?

A: in the next step, Yunnan's dual energy consumption control will adhere to the combination of the long and short, cure both the symptoms and the root causes, and accurately implement policies, starting with energy conservation, pollution reduction and carbon reduction, strengthen the adjustment of the industrial structure, vigorously develop clean and renewable energy, and strive to extend the industrial chain. we will increase the added value of industries and promote the construction and transformation of a green and low-carbon circular economy system.

First, vigorously promote "vacating cages for birds." We will promote "changing cages for birds" with the greatest determination and efforts, promote the transformation and upgrading of key parks with high standards, improve the assessment and evaluation methods of the parks around the input-output rate, and encourage the focus on leading industries to carry out cluster investment. Efforts will be made to build a green and low-carbon industrial park.

Second, unswervingly speed up the elimination of backward production capacity. Comprehensive use of energy consumption, environmental protection, safety, quality, technology and other means, in accordance with the law to shut down and eliminate a number of backward production capacity, technological upgrading, transformation and development of a number of inefficient production capacity, to free up valuable land, energy and other elements and eco-environmental capacity for high-quality development.

The third is to encourage the extension chain to improve quality, increase efficiency and reduce consumption. Centering on creating a world-class "three cards", led by leading enterprises, we will strive to extend the industrial chain, promote the clustering and high-end development of superior industries, increase the added value of industries, improve the efficiency of the use of energy and resources, and improve the quality and efficiency of economic development.

Fourth, speed up the construction of clean energy bases. Yunnan Province is rich in energy resources and has a full range of energy resources. In 2020, clean energy accounts for 85% of the province's installed power generation capacity, clean energy accounts for 97% of electricity transactions, and non-fossil energy accounts for more than 44% of primary energy consumption. In the next step, we will continue to accelerate the construction of clean energy bases, build a future-oriented green energy system, and use green energy to support green manufacturing. While promoting economic, green, low-carbon and high-quality development, we will actively contribute to the national goal of carbon neutralization.
