Editor's note: Handling the proposals of NPC deputies and CPPCC members is an inherent requirement for listening to public opinion and accepting people's supervision, and is an important measure for scientific and democratic decision-making, improving work, and building consensus.
In 2023, ** departments will host a total of 7,955 proposals from NPC deputies and 4,525 proposals from the CPPCC during the two sessions of the National People's Congress, accounting for the total number of proposals and proposals. 5%, all of which have been completed on time. In 2023, nearly 4,700 opinions and suggestions put forward by deputies and committee members will be adopted by various departments, and more than 2,000 relevant policies and measures will be introduced, effectively promoting the resolution of a series of problems related to reform and development and the people's urgency.
Since 2021, People's Daily Online has interviewed relevant NPC deputies, CPPCC members and ministries and commissions for three consecutive years to dig out the stories behind the introduction of policy measures. This year, People's Daily Online will continue to launch a series of reports on the handling of proposals and proposals of ministries and commissions, showing the progress of proposals and proposals from "paper" to "ground", as well as new achievements in promoting high-quality economic development, ensuring and improving people's livelihood.

In the middle of 2023, I felt a sense of accomplishment to see that many of the ideas from the previous proposals had been adopted. Shao Danwei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice president of the Jiangsu Provincial General Chamber of Commerce, shared her personal experience. At the two sessions in 2023, Shao Danwei put forward a proposal on the construction of charging and swapping infrastructure, which quickly received the attention and response of the National Energy Administration. The National Energy Administration gave a detailed reply from the perspective of the monitoring service platform system of charging facilities, the construction of public charging facilities, the technical standards of charging and swapping facilities, and the coordinated development of new energy vehicles and power grids.
Relevant departments can actively transform the relevant suggestions and proposals put forward by the representatives and members into practical and hard measures to promote the high-quality development of energy, so that Shao Danwei will be more motivated to perform her duties in 2024. In the past year, Shao Danwei has visited the front line of R&D, production and operation, focusing on distributed photovoltaic power generation, charging and energy storage, and local consumption, etc., and these research information in the field of microgrids will be brought into this year's National Two Sessions.
Energy is the cornerstone of economic and social development, and it is also the core of the national strategic layout. During the two sessions of the National People's Congress every year, the high-quality development of China's energy industry is one of the focuses of the deputies and members. Recently, the relevant person in charge of the National Energy Administration introduced in an interview with People's Daily Online that in 2023, the National Energy Administration will host a total of 711 proposals from the first session of the 14th National People's Congress and the first session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
Improve the level of handling suggestions and proposals on time and with good quality
Handling suggestions and motions is an important way to improve work, promote decision-making, and administer according to law. In 2023, after absorbing and adopting the suggestions of the National People's Congress deputies to improve the work, the National Energy Administration will formulate the "National Energy Administration's 2023 Proposal Handling Work Plan" in a timely manner, and clarify the requirements and time limit for the handling of proposals by confirming the step-by-step responsibility system for undertaking the work, so as to ensure that the handling of suggestions and proposals highlights the key points, and the responsibility for each key supervision and recommendation is assigned to the post to the person, so as to promote the high-quality development of China's energy industry.
According to the relevant person in charge of the National Energy Administration, from the perspective of the effectiveness of the handling, over the past year, the National Energy Administration has introduced a total of 19 policy measures according to the proposals, and a total of 51 opinions have been put forward in the policy documents to adopt the proposals.
In order to fully absorb the grassroots experience of the representatives and give full play to the actual results of energy work, the National Energy Administration attaches great importance to the research and exchange links in the process of handling. "In the past year, the sponsoring departments of the National Energy Administration went to Hebei, Hainan, Sichuan and other places to carry out field research, held symposiums, and invited relevant units and co-organizers of the National People's Congress to participate. The above-mentioned person in charge said.
In the past year, the National Energy Administration has focused on supervising the handling of proposals, which has effectively promoted the in-depth integration of the handling of proposals and energy development, and resonated at the same frequency. It is understood that among the 322 replies to the proposals undertaken by the National Energy Administration, 244 Class A replies have been solved or adopted, accounting for 758%, and 8 responses in category B have been formulated or included in the work plan and promised to be resolved within a certain period of time, accounting for 25%；There were 69 responses in category C that were used as reference or were temporarily difficult to solve, accounting for 214%。
According to the relevant person in charge, through the mid-term assessment of energy planning, the formulation of important industrial policies, and the deployment of major reforms, in 2023, the National Energy Administration will conduct in-depth research, fully absorb the reasonable opinions and suggestions of representatives, issue and implement a number of policy documents, promote the construction and research of a number of major energy projects such as the Ningxia-Hunan UHV transmission project, and guide and promote the acceleration of the construction of supporting and affordable coal power and coal mines in Hunan, Hebei, Ningxia and other places.
Consolidate the foundation of the new energy system
Developing a clean, efficient and safe energy system is the key to achieving sustainable development and building a modern economic system. Promoting the development of the new and renewable energy industry has become a key focus of the National Energy Administration, which involves the construction of clean energy bases, hydropower development, geothermal energy development and utilization, etc., and the relevant opinions have been focused on research and absorption.

Only when the guarantee is strong can the response be orderly. The relevant person in charge said that in order to promote the long-term development of renewable energy, the National Energy Administration plans the development and utilization of relevant resources according to local conditions, and promotes the development of relevant industries in key areas. Taking hydropower development as an example, the relevant departments have issued the "Notice on Further Improving the Planning and Construction of Pumped Storage" and other documents, deployed the provinces to carry out the demonstration of pumped storage demand, and guided the provincial energy authorities to carry out the project planning work in a timely manner according to the demand demonstration, so as to support the high-quality development of pumped storage.
Due to the intermittent and unstable nature of new energy power generation, the energy storage system is an important supporting infrastructure for the large-scale development of new energy and has become the cornerstone of the development of the energy field. In 2023, Wen Shugang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and chairman of China Huaneng Group, found that the total scale of new energy storage planned in various regions during the 14th Five-Year Plan exceeded the overall national target, of which "new energy + energy storage" was the main direction. Therefore, he suggested that new energy allocation energy storage should be developed according to local conditions, promote scientific and technological innovation in the new energy storage industry, improve the access standards of energy storage facilities, and simultaneously promote market construction.
The "Proposal on Further Promoting the Optimal Development of "New Energy + Energy Storage" and Better Helping to Build a New Power System" was recognized as one of the four key proposals in the series of "Promoting the Rapid and Healthy Development of the New Energy Storage Industry" by the National Energy Administration. The relevant person in charge of the National Energy Administration said that in order to accelerate the introduction of relevant key policies and measures, the National Energy Administration sorted out similar proposals as soon as possible, systematically sorted out and counted the relevant opinions and suggestions in the proposals, formed a list of high-frequency problems, and compiled a sub-regional, multi-form, and personalized research and handling work plan.
According to the person in charge, in order to deeply grasp the characteristics of new energy storage development in different regions, from May to July last year, the National Energy Administration successively organized personnel to Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Heilongjiang and other places to organize new energy storage work symposiums and carry out research. Combined with the on-site investigation, the "Technical Guidelines for the Planning of New Energy Storage for the Transmission Configuration of New Energy Bases" were compiled and issued, and the proportion of renewable energy in the transmission channel was not less than 50%, and the utilization rate of new energy was not less than 90%.
Safely increase production and inject green kinetic energy into energy supply
To achieve the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, energy is the main battlefield and electricity is the main force. Ruan Qiantu, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and chairman of the State Grid Fujian Electric Power, previously suggested that a normalized working mechanism should be established to promote the construction of a new power system, scientifically determine the optimal combination of "coal power + new energy", and improve supporting mechanisms such as finance and taxation and emergency power protection.
Promoting the construction of a new power system is a hot spot in the recommendations and proposals of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress in 2023. In this regard, the National Energy Administration focused on researching and conscientiously absorbing the aspects involved in the construction of the new power system, and organized and issued the "Blue Book on the Development of the New Power System", which comprehensively expounded the development concept and connotation characteristics of the new power system, put forward the overall structure and key tasks, and pointed out the direction for the construction of the new power system.
In the reply to the proposal, we focused on the formation mechanism of new energy electricity prices based on the inevitable trend of carbon reduction. The National Energy Administration, in conjunction with relevant departments, will continue to deepen the construction of the electricity market, form a market that reflects the value of time and space through competition, reasonably reflect the cost of new energy, accelerate the construction of a power market mechanism that adapts to the participation of new energy and emerging entities such as distributed generation, microgrids, and energy storage, and promote market-oriented transactions of distributed power generation. The above-mentioned person in charge said.
Coal power is the most economical, safe and reliable power in China, and will continue to play a key role in ensuring China's energy and power security for a long time. Liu Guoyue, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Chairman of the National Energy Group, proposed to strengthen the clean and efficient use of coal, taking into account low-carbon development and energy security during the two sessions of the National People's Congress in 2023.
Vigorously developing new energy is an inevitable trend to achieve sustainable development in the future, and high-quality energy development needs to be enlarged. Liu Guoyue proposed that based on China's energy resource endowment, we should ensure energy security with coal and ensure power stability with coal power, implement the "three reforms" of coal power, deepen the "two joint ventures" of coal and coal power, coal power and renewable energy, and promote the transformation of coal from fuel attributes to dual attributes of fuel and raw materials, and improve the resilience, elasticity and safety level of the energy chain.
This proposal has been highly valued by the National Energy Administration, and promoting the transformation and development of coal power has become an important part of energy work last year. According to the person in charge, the National Energy Administration continues to improve supporting policies and measures, issues the "National Implementation Plan for the Transformation and Upgrading of Coal-fired Power Units", gradually and orderly eliminates the backward production capacity of coal-fired power, improves the level of clean and efficient utilization of coal, and promotes the introduction of industrial policies to promote the healthy and sustainable development of the thermal power industry.
