Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, President of the People's Republic of China, Chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Director of the Central Committee for Deepening Overall Reform, presided over the second meeting of the Central Committee for Deepening Overall Reform on the afternoon of July 11. The meeting reviewed and adopted the Opinions on Building a New Higher-Level Open Economic System to Promote the Construction of a New Development Pattern, Implementation Plan for Deepening Rural Reform, Opinions on Promoting the Gradual Shift from Dual Control of Energy Consumption to Dual Control of Carbon Emissions, Opinions on the Pilot Reform of the Salary System in Colleges and Universities and Research Institutes, Implementation Opinions on Further Deepening the Reform of the Oil and Gas Market System to Improve the National Oil and Gas Security Guarantee Capacity, and Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Electricity System to Accelerate the Construction of a New Power System.
Xi Jinping emphasized when presiding over the meeting that it is necessary to deepen the reform of the electricity system, accelerate the construction of a new power system that is clean and low-carbon, safe and sufficient, economical and efficient, coordinated in supply and demand, and flexible and intelligent, so as to better promote the revolution in energy production and consumption and ensure national energy security.
The meeting pointed out that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have placed green low-carbon development and energy conservation and emission reduction in a prominent position, established and implemented the dual control system of total energy consumption and intensity, which has effectively promoted a significant improvement in China's energy utilization efficiency and a continuous decline in carbon dioxide emission intensity. To gradually shift from dual control of energy consumption to dual control of carbon emissions, we must adhere to the principle of "establishing first and then breaking", improve the dual control system of energy consumption, optimize and improve the regulatory methods, strengthen the capacity building for the dual control of carbon emissions, and improve various supporting systems for the dual control of carbon emissions, so as to actively create conditions for the establishment and implementation of the dual control system of carbon emissions. We must consistently adhere to the policy of giving priority to conservation, do a better job in energy conservation at a higher level and with higher quality, and achieve the maximum benefits at the minimum cost. We must maintain a steady pace of work, balance the relationship between development and emission reduction, seek truth from facts, act according to our capabilities, and scientifically adjust and optimize policy measures.
The meeting stressed that it is necessary to scientifically and rationally design the construction path of the new power system, and on the basis of the safe and reliable replacement of new energy, gradually reduce the proportion of traditional energy in a planned and phased manner. It is necessary to improve the institutional mechanisms adapted to the new power system, promote innovation in power technologies, market mechanisms, and business models. It is necessary to promote a better combination of an effective market and a capable government, continuously improve the policy system, and ensure the supply of basic public services in the electricity sector.
