Since the summer of 2004, there have been power shortages in North China, Central China, East China and South China! The power shortage sweeping through Chinese mainland has seriously affected the national economy, related industries and people's lives. In the face of the heat, people think of the helplessness of SARS, but some people are responsible for SARS, but no one is responsible for the lack of electricity. What is even more frightening is that the energy industry continues the vicious circle of "lack of electricity, projects, surplus, reduced investment and lack of electricity". The person concerned shouted: "It's time for someone to stand up and take responsibility for the big power shortage."
Power shortage sweeping across the country
At the end of 2003, a deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission talked plausibly about the shortage of electricity supply in many places in an interview with Xinhua News Agency. He said, "It's only a few people who really lost power ... I don't agree with the statement of' lack of electricity'. Generally speaking, power shortage is seasonal and it is during peak hours. "
However, just before the official in charge posing as an electricity expert collapsed, the national power shortage tide surged in 2004:
The lack of electricity forced Shanghai Volkswagen to stop production for several days from July, and the impact of power outage on Shanghai has begun to hurt, making the government's promise to foreign investors "guarantee no power outage" fail; The situation of power shortage in Jiangsu is becoming increasingly severe. Han Qinghua, deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, once again "complained" a few days ago: the power supply gap is as high as 7.5 million kilowatts; According to statistics, Zhejiang Province, with a relatively developed economy, has a power outage every day except for 10 during the Spring Festival this year.
Look at the western region. In Hunan, except for 49 key energy-saving users, all enterprises, institutions, residential areas and urban areas in Changsha will implement the principle of "opening three stops and stopping one stop" for the first time, and announce that the power shortage measures will last until March next year; In Shanxi, a major coal-producing province, the 1 1 area is cut into pieces on a monthly basis, and power supply and distribution are unified to alleviate the current hunger for electricity.
Power shortage in East China, Central China, North China and South China ... Before the arrival of the summer peak, more than 20 provinces and cities all over the country unanimously issued the voice of "power shortage" ... According to the analysis of the National Power Market Analysis Report released by State Grid Corporation in autumn, this year's power shortage has changed from local power shortage in summer peak or dry season to continuous and random power shortage throughout the year. The scope of power restriction will be further expanded, and the mainland will continue to lack electricity throughout the year.
Lack of electricity is becoming an unbearable pain for the development of the mainland; Power shortage is becoming another public crisis in front of people!
Power shortage seriously endangers the normal development of the national economy: according to the statistics of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, the average output value per kilowatt hour is 22.44 yuan, and the power shortage in Zhejiang alone is more than 7.5 million kilowatts, resulting in a direct GDP loss of 65.438+000 billion yuan!
Power shortage not only directly affects the rapid development of the national economy, but also its hidden losses are immeasurable: hundreds of enterprises can not produce normally, and there are hidden dangers in production safety, which casts a shadow on the investment environment and the image of the city. According to experts' calculations, if there is a power shortage since 2000, the direct and indirect losses caused by the "power shortage" to the national economy in the past five years have exceeded 1 trillion RMB!
Electricity shortage brings kerosene shortage.
Recently, I learned from the National Bureau of Statistics that power shortage not only reduces the start-up of enterprises, but also increases the cost of enterprises, and has a negative impact on many aspects of economic life.
Keep the power coal and go all out to squeeze the transportation capacity and hurt other industries. According to Liu Yuqi, deputy director of the Transportation Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, due to the shortage of railway capacity, the port has been banned from importing iron ore.
Hong Kong is under great pressure. Siping Jinshibai Beer Group Company's beer sales decreased 1 1560 cases due to product transportation difficulties.
Coal prices are rising, and business order is chaotic. Under the background of power shortage, because coal has become the new favorite of the market, the price has been rising all the way, and a few operators have adulterated it and shoddy it, which has affected the normal coal management order.
Lack of electricity threatens people's livelihood
The lack of electricity has also brought profound disasters to people's lives. Urban residents are pushed into the unbearable heat, farmers are sowing drought-resistant seeds, watching seedlings die in the fields due to lack of electricity, and teenagers in poor areas finish their homework under dim oil lamps and candles. ...
A vicious circle of large-scale power shortage
The scope of power shortage is getting bigger and bigger.
Since 2002, the "power shortage" began in the Yangtze River Delta and quickly spread to the Pearl River Delta and the whole country. In 2002, 12 provinces (cities, autonomous regions) were blacked out, with an installed capacity gap of 20.35 million kilowatts. In 2003, the country restricted electricity in 22 provinces and cities, with an installed capacity gap of 44.85 million kilowatts, more than doubling the previous year; By the first half of 2004, 24 provinces and cities in China had blackouts, and even the economically underdeveloped western regions such as Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai and Ningxia also experienced "power shortages".
Old thinking will lead to a vicious circle.
In the face of "power shortage", the practice of power management departments is also worrying. Nowadays, all localities are busy with power projects. Some experts predict that before 2007, there will be a new round of power surplus in the mainland. Facts have proved that the planned economy thinking mode in power management and construction will only make the power industry cycle in the strange circle of "power shortage-project-surplus-investment reduction-power shortage".
The real reason for the serious power shortage
In March, 2004, a deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission in charge of electric power construction still stubbornly adhered to his consistent idea when answering an interview with Xinhua News Agency: "Generally speaking, the main reason for the shortage of electricity supply this time is the rapid economic growth and the improvement of people's living standards ..." The self-proclaimed power expert forgot the basic knowledge of power planning: electricity should be ranked first relative to the growth of the national economy. In the face of serious mistakes in work, how can we put the cart before the horse and put the blame on "economic growth" and "improvement of people's living standards"? Is it necessary for the country to wait for the development of electricity by slowing down economic growth and lowering the living standards of ordinary people? !
"The main reason for the lack of electricity is that the development of installed capacity can't keep up with the growth of electricity consumption." Wu Jingru, a 70-year-old senior consultant and power economic expert of China Development Bank, analyzed the current situation. He believes that the supply and demand situation this year is more severe than last year, and the lack of conventional thermal power projects in the past three years is the main factor of power shortage in the next two years.
Why can't the development of installed capacity keep up with the growth of electricity consumption? There's no need to hide it. Rigid planned economy management thinking, stubborn and arbitrary industry planning and inefficient industry management are the real reasons for the long-term power shortage in the country, which has such a wide impact and such serious consequences. Please look at the following facts:
1, there are numerous market forecasts.
The electric power management department doesn't know how much electricity it needs and how much electricity it can produce. An electric power researcher believes that the National Development and Reform Commission has no accurate statistics and no effective coordination on how much electricity is needed and how much electricity can be produced.
2. Industry planning is stubborn and arbitrary.
1997 in the second half of the year, the national electric power work conference pointed out that the power supply is relatively loose and the industrial structure adjustment is unfavorable, so as to speed up the electric power construction. Once new power demand is generated with the adjustment of industrial structure, it will be too late to start power construction, which will inevitably lead to new power shortage. These pertinent opinions have not attracted the attention of the relevant authorities.
The tenth five-year plan estimates the development speed of the national economy on the low side, and no scientific market survey has been done at all. 1998, when there was a surplus of electricity in China, the relevant departments expressly stipulated that new thermal power projects were not allowed to start within three years. Therefore, where power projects are started against the wind, the power supply is relatively mild now; At that time, honest and obedient places are short of electricity now.
Accountability for large-scale power shortage
In 2003, China's political accountability system embodied "people-oriented". Nearly a thousand officials across the country, including the former Minister of Health and the mayor of Beijing, were dismissed for "ineffective work" in the prevention and treatment of SARS. The former commander and political commissar of the North Sea Fleet of the Navy were also demoted due to the Navy 36 1 submarine accident. The two decisive actions taken by the new central collective leadership to seriously investigate the responsibility of dereliction of duty officials caused great shock in the political arena and were regarded as "the first case in China".
In April this year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China approved the implementation of the Interim Provisions on the Resignation of Leading Cadres of the Party and Government, which made strict provisions on "Resignation in the line of duty", "voluntary resignation", "taking the blame" and "ordering resignation". The "Regulations" clearly pointed out: "Party and government leading cadres should take the blame and resign from their current leadership positions because of serious mistakes or dereliction of duty, causing heavy losses or adverse effects, or having important leadership responsibilities for major accidents." The "Regulations" also detailed nine situations that should be blamed and resigned, so that officials can take the blame and resign according to laws and rules.
The "accountability" of officials is naturally supported by the people. A recent public opinion survey of 450 residents in 12 cities shows that nearly 70% of the public are in favor of serious mistakes, dereliction of duty, causing heavy losses or bad influence, or dereliction of duty officials who have important leadership responsibilities for major accidents to resign; More than half of the respondents believe that "this is a sign of political progress in China".
Faced with such a serious dereliction of duty in the power industry, NPC deputies, CPPCC members and people from all walks of life have begun to take action to hold the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, the main person in charge, accountable:
During the "two sessions" in 2004, Fu Qiping, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Zhejiang Ningbo Tengtou Group Co., Ltd., pointed out that the current tight power supply has affected the economic development of some places.
Member Yu Ruqin asked: How serious is the power shortage? When will it be relieved? Do you know that the lack of movies in Hangzhou, Hunan Province has affected the normal life of residents? Member Zhang Xiaomei asked: What caused the power shortage?
Member Ren asked: How to alleviate the power shortage?
Member Ling asked: When there is a power shortage, some construction investment will inevitably increase. But how can electricity get out of the strange circle of "power shortage-going to projects-surplus-reducing investment-power shortage again"? In other words, how to deal with the relationship between market and government supervision?
In addition, the netizens of Xinhuanet also raised various questions about the deputy director.
