Xie Zhenhua: This year will adjust gas prices to increase energy conservation and emission reduction accountability

BEIJING, May 27 (Xinhua) China's deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission in the afternoon of the opening of the Chinese Energy Strategy Forum, said, based on the "Eleven-Five" plan four years before the unit GDP energy consumption reduced by 14.38%, and the "Eleven-Five" planning energy saving target far away, this year in principle no longer approved High pollution, energy consumption) and overcapacity industries to expand capacity projects.　　He also pointed out that this year will also adjust the price of natural gas, the implementation of residential step electricity prices, and to increase the accountability of energy conservation and emission reduction. Xie pointed out that since the third quarter of last year, high energy consumption, high pollution industry eliminated the rapid development of capacity, especially in the first quarter of this year due to electricity, steel, non-ferrous metals, building materials, petrochemicals, chemicals, six high energy-consuming industries led to a sharp increase in energy consumption, the quarter of the GDP　　The energy consumption of unit GDP in 12 regions is increased by decreasing. "This year is to achieve the ' Eleven-Five ' plan for energy-saving emission reduction targets of the year, to strengthen the goal of accountability, increase accountability, the provincial government key engineering enterprises to carry out energy-saving target responsibility assessment."　　"This is to impose punitive electricity prices on companies that consume more energy than national and local units," said Xie. Xie also disclosed that this year plans to shut down small thermal power 10 Million-kilowatt, the elimination of backward iron production capacity of 25 million tons, steel production capacity of 6 million tons, cement production capacity of 50 million tons. "Today, the Ministry of Industry has 3 large energy-intensive industries, issued a shutdown task." "According to the relevant responsible person, the theme of" Scientific and technological innovation to promote energy industry change, energy saving and emission reduction for low-carbon economic development "of this forum, will be smart grid, green thermal power, new energy vehicles and natural gas, coal-bed gas, shale gas and other hot topics to open high-level Dialogue. As the last year of the "Eleven-Five" plan, it is obviously of great significance to do all the energy work, to consolidate the economic recovery to a good momentum, to maintain a stable and rapid economic development, to meet the challenges of global climate change, to develop the new energy industry strategy, to launch the implementation of the "Twelve-Five" plan.
