Some enterprises look forward to further optimizing the business environment of electric power and reducing the cost of electricity consumption.

 

Electricity consumption is an important barometer of economic development. Economic Reference News reporter in Guangdong, Shandong, Fujian, Shaanxi and other places investigated and learned that since this year, electricity consumption in many emerging industries has increased significantly, reflecting the growing new momentum of the economy. With the continuous promotion of electricity market reform, more and more enterprises benefit from electricity reform dividends. At the same time, some enterprises look forward to further optimizing the business environment of electric power and reducing the cost of electricity consumption.

 

The growth of electricity consumption in emerging industries clearly reflects the growth of new economic momentum

 

Located in Guangzhou, Lejin Display (China) Co., Ltd. is the leading enterprise in the display industry in China. It mainly produces large-size LCD panels. Zhang Xiu, head of production department, said that in the first half of this year, with the start of the special cooperative zone between Guangzhou and Hong Kong and the rapid growth of sales of new generation display screens, the company has been in full-load production, with electricity consumption increasing by 20% year-on-year. The company's new plant is expected to be mass-produced in the second half of the year, producing more value-added commercial LCD panels, supplying Sony, Samsung, millet and so on, with an annual output of 25.2 million pieces.

 

"In the first half of this year, Guangzhou Auto Toyota automobile sales grew 22% year-on-year, and electricity consumption increased 10.9% year-on-year." According to the head of power division of planning room of Guangzhou Auto Toyota Automobile Co., Ltd., following the trend of upgrading consumption structure in China, Guangzhou Auto Toyota Hybrid Electric Vehicles are favored by consumers. The cumulative sales in the first half of the year increased by 16.4% year on year. It is expected that the electricity consumption of enterprises will climb to 324 million kWh next year.

 

According to statistics, in the first half of this year, the total social electricity consumption in Guangzhou was 45 billion kWh, an increase of 3.95% over the same period last year. The top three industries of cumulative electricity consumption are computer, communication and other electronic equipment manufacturing, automobile manufacturing and general equipment manufacturing, accounting for 12.5%, 8.4% and 6.9% of the manufacturing industry respectively, reflecting the huge market space brought by economic transformation and upgrading and consumption upgrading.

 

In Shandong, a major economic province, the country's first comprehensive experimental zone for the conversion of new and old kinetic energy has been approved since the beginning of last year. In the past two years, nearly 100,000 scattered and backward production enterprises have been shut down in Shandong, and new industries such as new generation information technology, high-end equipment and new energy materials have been vigorously cultivated. The added value created by new kinetic energy increased from 39% of GDP in 2016 to 48% in 2018.

 

According to the data of Shandong Electric Power Company of State Grid, in the first half of this year, the electricity consumption of Shandong's secondary industry grew by 2.8% year on year, while that of the tertiary industry increased by 8.1% year on year. Among them, the electricity consumption of automobile manufacturing industry increased by 6.6% year on year, the electricity consumption of information transmission, software and information technology services increased by 3.6% year on year, while the electricity consumption of traditional industries such as mining industry showed negative growth.

 

Li Jingbing, general manager of Pingdu Power Supply Company of Shandong State Grid, said that the electricity consumption of industry and manufacturing industry has increased steadily, the electricity consumption of high-end equipment, electronic information industry and other emerging industries has exceeded the growth rate, and the proportion of service industry has continued to increase. These changes in electricity consumption structure reflect the growing new momentum of China's economy and the continuous optimization of industrial structure.

 

Electricity Reform Dividends Help Enterprises Reduce Costs and Increase Efficiency

 

Improving the sense of attainment

 

With the continuous promotion of electricity market-oriented reform in various regions, the power trading mode is increasingly diversified, the dividend of electricity reform is continuously released, and the burden of enterprise electricity fee payment has been alleviated.

 

First of all, instead of generating electricity, enjoy preferential treatment, market-oriented transactions to reduce electricity prices. Xinfengxiang Holding Group, located in Liaocheng, Shandong Province, has an annual output of 600,000 tons of copper. Li Bing, Deputy Minister of power department of the Group, introduced that the enterprise signed an alternative power generation agreement with Linqing Power Generation Company of Tang Dynasty. In 2018, 817 million kilowatt-hours of electricity were replaced. The average price of electricity was 0.45 yuan/kilowatt-hour, which was 0.19 yuan/kilowatt-hour cheaper than that of the implementation of the general The annual electricity cost was saved by 157 million yuan. "Enjoy the national electricity price accounting and other preferential treatment in time, help enterprises to reduce costs and achieve substantial benefits, private enterprises have more confidence in development." Li Bing said.

 

Gong Wenjun, deputy director of Xinjiang Electric Power Trading Center, introduced that in recent years, the scale of Xinjiang electric power users'participation in the market has been expanding. In the first half of this year, the direct trading scale of power users was about 44.6 billion kWh, up 58% year on year, 184 times higher than in 2014. Benefiting from a series of market-oriented transactions, the cost per kilowatt hour of relevant users in Xinjiang has dropped by an average of 6 cents.

 

Secondly, reduce the power supply link and enhance the sense of power acquisition. Sun Qiang, Secretary of the Party Committee of the State Grid Xi'an Power Supply Company, said that Xi'an had reduced the power-running links of low-voltage small and micro enterprises to less than three and the average power-receiving time to less than 15 days. According to the State Grid Shenyang Power Supply Company, at present, 1947 small and micro enterprises in Shenyang have experienced the convenience and benefits brought by the promotion of "access to electricity". The number of newly installed households in small and micro enterprises increased by 43% over the same period of last year, and the time of receiving electricity was reduced from 48.2 days to less than 15 days, which saved the investment cost of 92.7 million yuan per household for enterprises.

 

Third, take the initiative to benefit enterprises and benefit more enterprises. State Grid Shandong Electric Power Company has increased its investment in large and medium-sized enterprises such as city-level and above Park users, key projects of new and old kinetic energy conversion, etc. to plan the red line for customers, and implemented low-voltage access to electric energy meters for small and micro enterprises with 160 KVA and below in urban areas and 100 KVA and below in rural areas, totaling 432,000 small enterprises. Micro-enterprises provide "zero investment" service, which saves 1.156 billion yuan of user's electricity cost.
