East China’s Jiangsu province has taken targeted measures to do everything possible to ensure energy security and provide reliable energy supply for striving for the fulfillment of the annual goals.
Ensuring energy and power supply is a matter of great concern to the national economy and people's livelihood, as well as the overall situation of development.
Over the past two days, the Qinlong Transportation and Marketing Company of Xuzhou Mining Group transported more than 3,700 tons of coal from northwest China’s Shaanxi province to Jiangsu, effectively alleviating the urgent demand of the two power plants.
In order to ensure power generation and heat supply, Xuzhou Mining Group has made unremitting efforts to purchase coal in a diversified manner, optimizing the coordinated transportation of coal by highway, railway, and waterway, and improving transportation efficiency and service guarantee. It is expected that Xuzhou Mining Group will increase the supply of at least 3 million tons of coal to Jiangsu this winter and next spring.
Since the beginning of this year, in response to the high demand and tight supply of coal and electricity, Jiangsu has made swift response by actively coordinating the increase coal purchases from Shaanxi, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, and at the same time coordinated with customs to speed up customs clearance and transportation efficiency and ensure coal imports.
While increasing power supply from outside the province, Jiangsu has continuously increased the proportion of clean energy to ease the tight supply of coal and electricity.
From January to September, the province's grid-connected wind power capacity increased by 1,854,400 kilowatts, and the grid-connected photovoltaic capacity increased by 1,283,200 kilowatts.
Jiangsu has spared no effort to prioritize the supply of electricity for civilian use, public services, urban operation, medical treatment and other fields, and at the same time strive to ensure the supply of electricity for major projects and key industrial chains and supply chains.
At the same time, Jiangsu has made continuous efforts to restrict the use of electricity and coal in “high energy consumption and high pollution” projects, and vigorously promoted energy saving and consumption reduction.
The Provincial Development and Reform Commission has listed high-energy-consuming and high-pollution projects for management and strengthen dynamic monitoring. The Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology has inspected industrial enterprises one by one to ensure energy conservation.
Wuxi has shut down non-essential street lights and used LED green lighting fixtures and intelligent control systems, which is expected to save nearly 15 million kilowatt-hours of electricity a year. Changzhou and Zhenjiang have issued technological transformation subsidies to encourage enterprises to accelerate green transformation and upgrading.
