Electricity is the "ballast stone" of economic development, and surging electric energy supports the high-quality development of China's economy and society and the people's road to common prosperity.
20 years ago, Comrade ***, then secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, conducted research in the Hangzhou Electric Power Bureau and put forward the important entrustment of "rather than the development of electricity".
Over the past 20 years, under the guidance of the scientific thought of forward-looking thinking, overall planning and overall promotion of "electricity and other development", Zhejiang has adhered to a blueprint drawn to the end, one term after another, successfully solved the development dilemma of "small energy province and large economic province", practiced a road of high-quality development of energy and power, and contributed to the realization of Chinese-style modernization.
The "great man of the country" that cannot be ignored for a moment
Energy security and security are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and they are the "great things of the country" that cannot be ignored for a while.
This summer, the highest electricity load in Zhejiang hit a record high. In the face of unprecedented challenges, Zhejiang's power system has calmly coped with it, with a safe and stable energy and power supply, and the general public can live and work in peace and contentment.
Back 20 years ago, when the nationwide power shortage seriously restricted economic and social development, especially in Zhejiang Province.
In the past 20 years, Zhejiang has completed a race between economic development and social electricity demand growth. Data shows that in 2022, Zhejiang's annual cumulative electricity consumption of the whole society will be 579.9 billion kWh, compared with only 124.2 billion kWh 20 years ago. The surging power has ensured that the GDP of Zhejiang Province has increased from 970.5 billion yuan to 7,771.5 billion yuan, an increase of more than 7 times.
Behind the gorgeous turnaround is the innovative wisdom of "electric development", the successful practice of "four revolutions and one cooperation", the systematic thinking of overall development and security, and the core concept of people-centered.
Economic development is not the ultimate goal, but people-centered social development is. "Insight into the general trend, planning for the long term, also 20 years ago, comrades closely combined the strategic decision-making with the actual situation in Zhejiang, focused on solving the outstanding problems restricting the long-term economic and social development of Zhejiang, made a major decision to implement the "88 strategy", promoted the comprehensive transformation and upgrading of Zhejiang's development mode, and created a provincial sample of the practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
It is closely related to the transformation of the economic growth mode of "changing the cage for the bird, the phoenix nirvana", and the ecological civilization construction concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", and is also closely related to the construction of the project of "demonstration of thousands of villages and renovation of ten thousand villages", and is also closely related to the development idea of "cooperation between mountains and seas, urban and rural co-ordination", and the new development concept of "innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing", which is ZhejiangThe vivid interpretation of the development coordinates of "doing in practice, walking in the forefront, and standing bravely at the forefront of the tide" provides a vivid footnote for creating an important window for comprehensively demonstrating the superiority of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
No matter what kind of innovation and development, it is inseparable from electricity first. Today, the scientific thinking method contained in the "development of electricity" not only really promotes the high-quality development of Zhejiang's economy, industrial system, digital empowerment, agriculture and rural areas, ecological civilization, scientific and technological innovation, common prosperity and other fields, but also is widely used throughout the country, helping to concentrate investment and comprehensively improve rural infrastructure such as road network, power grid, water network, and Internet, and build basic and pre-engineering projects for the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy.
The transformation from a "large province lacking electricity" to a "strong power province".
Following the concept of "electricity development", it took only 20 years for Zhejiang to realize the transformation from a "large province lacking electricity" to a "strong power province".
The Hangzhou Asian Games showed the world a humane, intelligent, green, futuristic and ubiquitous vitality of China, and the power supply reliability of the core area of the most representative Asian Games reached 999999%。Behind this is the condensation of State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power *** hereinafter referred to as "State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power") 20 years of efforts to develop the power grid and enhance energy supply capacity.
With a strong power grid, we will draw a beautiful picture of clean energy supply. On December 30, 2022, the Baihetan-Zhejiang UHV project was put into operation, and Zhejiang took the lead in building a strong smart grid with "two crossings and three straights" UHV as the backbone, 500 kV "east-west mutual supply, north-south connection", and coordinated development of various voltage levels.
In the past 20 years, Zhejiang Power Grid has completed a total investment of 524.7 billion yuan in fixed assets, continued to increase external electricity, helped ensure supply and price stability, accelerated the growth of clean electricity, and promoted the implementation of "double carbon", with an average annual substation capacity of 12The growth rate of 6% supports the average annual GDP of Zhejiang Province to 115% growth. With the construction of a highly reliable, interactive and friendly, cost-effective and efficient smart distribution network project slowly opened, Zhejiang ushered in a new stage of high-quality development of the power grid industry - the power supply reliability of Hangzhou and Ningbo urban power grids has reached the world-class level, the power supply reliability of Zhejiang rural power grids has reached the average level ......of domestic cities, and reliable power has been "silently" integrated into the lives of the people of Zhejiang
State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power officially released on December 11 in the "Development of Electricity - Zhejiang Action Report" clearly pointed out that "electricity development" provides a strong engine for Zhejiang to further promote the demonstration of common prosperity with Chinese characteristics and provincial modernization.
Xiajiang Village, Chun'an County, Hangzhou, 20 years ago, it was a poor ditch of "earthen wall house, half a year's grain, and a woman who did not marry Jiang Lang". Nowadays, with the "rural revitalization, electricity first", it has attracted many wanderers to return to their hometowns to start businesses, and has become a model of "green, rich and beautiful" poverty alleviation and prosperity in Zhejiang. At the same time, the golden signboard of Xiajiang Village B&B, the "electronic carbon bill", also entered the United Nations.
In Wenzhou Longgang, State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power has injected inexhaustible energy power into the development of the private economy. After 20 years of sustained and rapid development, there are a series of new "titles" such as "China Printing City", "China Gift City", "China Printing Materials Trading Center" and "China Taiwan Wall Calendar Distribution Center", with an annual output value of more than 10 billion yuan.
In Huzhou, after the construction of the country's first "ecology + power" demonstration city was launched in 2019, energy supply, power grid development, energy consumption, production and life and other aspects have achieved low-carbon, environmentally friendly, intelligent and efficient goals, forming a number of "ecology + power" Huzhou models that can be promoted and replicated. In the birthplace of the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", new ideas and new samples are constantly emerging.
It can be replicated, promoted, and used for reference
Zhejiang is not only a large energy consumption province, but also a small province of energy resources, the primary energy self-sufficiency rate has been less than 10% for a long time, coal, oil, natural gas and other energy resources are heavily dependent on external transfers, energy reserves and social and economic development are extremely mismatched. "For a long time, the label of 'small resource province, large consumption province' has been a pain point in our hearts. The relevant person in charge of the Zhejiang Provincial Energy Bureau told the "China Energy News" reporter that in order to break the tight balance of Zhejiang's electricity, we must not only promote the power "from afar", but also plan in advance to "come from the side" and "innovate". "To this end, we will actively build coastal nuclear power bases, offshore wind power bases, and pumped storage bases to promote the green and low-carbon transformation of the energy structure. ”
It is understood that Zhejiang Province will also speed up the construction of reliable urban distribution networks in Shaoxing and other places, and create a demonstration scene of a co-prosperity distribution network in mountainous areas represented by Wencheng in Wenzhou and a pilot model of integrated power in the Yangtze River Delta represented by Jiaxing, so as to create a good business environment for local economic development.
As the saying goes, the local development "fights" is to attract projects, and the "fight" to attract projects is the business environment. Zhejiang's experience in supporting industrial construction with "electricity and other development" is being replicated, promoted and used for reference by more and more places.
Leshan wants to achieve 'electricity development', mainly to calculate the development needs of industrial customers and do a good job in advance layout. State Grid Sichuan Leshan Power Supply Co., Ltd. combined with Leshan's "China Green Silicon Valley" and "14th Five-Year Plan" and other development strategies, docked with the investment promotion projects and load development needs of the Green Silicon Valley Park, and promoted the Sichuan-Chongqing 1000 kV UHV AC Tianfu South Station to settle in Jingyan, and Leshan Power Grid officially entered the UHV era.
"Electricity and other development" is helping Sichuan Deyang to achieve economic take-off. The third 500 kV substation in Deyang City, which is currently accelerating the construction, is expected to be put into operation in June 2024, which will be connected to the Deyang 500 kV Tanjiawan substation and Chengdu 500 kV Longwang substation, becoming an important node of Chengdu's three-dimensional double ring power grid, greatly improving the power supply capacity and reliability of Deyang power grid, and directly improving the power supply capacity of Zhongjiang County, Jingyang District and Guanghan area.
According to the "China Energy News" reporter, at present, Sichuan, Gansu, Shandong, Beijing and other provincial and municipal power grid companies have been moderately advanced planning, power grid construction, enterprise services and other fields of precise efforts.
In the context of the "dual carbon" goal, all localities have accelerated the construction of new power systems, and the "development of electricity" has a richer connotation: the power supply is safe and abundant, the energy consumption structure is green economy, the construction of power infrastructure is moderately advanced, and the level of technological innovation, management and energy efficiency is ahead of other industries, etc.
From "development and other electricity" to "electricity and other development", from "ensuring development" to "promoting development", how to better "wait" in the new era is a new examination question that the first department and power enterprises need to face together.
Consistently put the "development of electricity" throughout the whole chain of power development, accelerate the construction of UHV and distribution network "the strongest at both ends" digital intelligent power grid, create a source-grid-load-storage diversification to promote energy interconnection, tackle key technologies in the field of energy to build demonstration projects, comprehensively improve lean management to promote the transformation and upgrading of power grid enterprises, and form a pattern of co-construction, sharing and sharing by the whole society through government-enterprise linkage, boost the low-carbon transformation of energy consumption in the whole society, and accelerate the construction of a new provincial power system construction and development model with Zhejiang characteristics—— This is the power answer sheet that Zhejiang is writing.
