This enterprise is China State Grid Corporation, which ranks second among the top 500 companies in the world. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, State Grid has taken a series of measures to release the "red" benefits of reform, enhance the "green" connotation of energy, expand the "blue" ocean of growth and sketch out new development prospects.
Reducing electricity charges and releasing the "red" benefits of reform
Huawei Technical Service Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise located in Langfang City, Hebei Province. Used to be a big power user of the local power supply company. Since July this year, the company has changed from an electricity trading platform to directly purchasing electricity from power generation enterprises, and the electricity price per kilowatt hour has been reduced by 5.5 points, saving 540,000 yuan in less than two months.
"The income of power grid enterprises has definitely decreased, but it has brought great benefits to enterprises and can realize the optimal allocation of resources in the whole society." Wang Yanfang, a full-time spokesperson of State Grid Corporation, said frankly that the focus of the new round of power system reform is to build a unified, open, competitive and orderly power market system, so that electricity can be bought and sold freely like ordinary commodities. In this regard, State Grid is duty-bound.
In just over a year, State Grid has built the first national power trading center and 27 provincial power trading centers. At present, there are nearly 45,000 registered market entities, and the transaction scale of the power market has increased substantially. 1 By August of this year, the electricity traded in the market was 853.7 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 93%.
"The market competition pattern of buying more and selling more has taken shape. More and more planned transactions with "government pricing" have turned to market-oriented transactions with "negotiated pricing" between the two sides. Directly purchasing electricity alone is expected to reduce energy costs for enterprises by more than 654.38+08 billion yuan this year. " Wei Wei, deputy director of the Economic System Reform Office of State Grid Corporation, said.
In fact, the "dividend" given by the State Grid goes far beyond this. Wang Yanfang calculated an account for the reporter. This year alone, the cancellation of the surcharge for urban public utilities in the electricity price will reduce the electricity bill of enterprises by 28 billion yuan; Cancel the electricity price of electricity and railway repayment, and make a profit of 5.2 billion yuan; According to the new transmission and distribution price standards approved by the provinces at the end of July, the cost of enterprises will be reduced by 654.38+078 billion yuan.
"The decline in corporate electricity bills means that we have directly and indirectly lost about 70 billion yuan. This really brings a lot of pressure. In the past, it was not feasible for the power grid to rely on unified purchase and marketing to' eat the difference'. We must actively adjust the profit model, further improve our efficiency and management level, and continuously reduce costs in order to continue to gain a foothold in the market. " Wang Yanfang said.
Solving the "Three Wastes" and Promoting the "Green" Connotation of Energy
In just 0.008 seconds, wind power and solar power from Gansu were instantly sent to Xiangtan converter station in Hunan, lighting up thousands of households more than 2,000 kilometers away. The "Gansu Direct Supply to Hunan" UHV transmission line invested by State Grid has effectively alleviated the problem of clean energy consumption in northwest China.
In recent years, China has also stepped up its efforts to develop clean energy. As a symbolic central enterprise in the energy field, State Grid insists on leading the pace of clean transformation in the reform, and at the same time takes measures to absorb clean energy and solve the problem of "three wastes" of abandoning wind, light and water, which has achieved remarkable results.
According to Zhang, deputy director of the Development Planning Department of State Grid Corporation of China, the company started the auxiliary service market in Northeast China by conducting cross-regional spot trading of renewable energy, which promoted the large-scale allocation and consumption of new energy.
In June this year, Qinghai Power Grid tested the "green power for seven days" for the first time in China, and realized solar energy, wind energy and water energy 168 hour power supply, which attracted widespread attention in the global energy industry.
"In the future, we will continue to accelerate the construction of delivery channels and create conditions for the consumption of new energy in the country." Zhang said to him.
He told reporters that at present, the cost of wind power and photovoltaic power generation in China is about 0.4 yuan and 0.7 yuan/kWh respectively. According to the scale effect of UHV power grid, the cost of clean power supply can be reduced to about 0.3 yuan/kWh in the future.
Enjoy innovation and expand the "blue" sea of growth.
While actively benefiting the society in the new electricity reform, the State Grid is also actively exploring new businesses and constantly seeking new growth "blue ocean".
"Since 20 15, the charging and replacing facilities have exploded. To this end, we established the State Grid Electric Vehicle Company to carry out the business of charging and replacing electric vehicles. " Shu Yinbiao, Chairman of State Grid Corporation of China, said that its biggest highlight is the establishment of a smart car networking platform with the widest coverage, the most access devices and the highest technical level in the world.
According to reports, the platform has been interconnected with 17 charging operators. The total number of charging piles connected exceeds 1 67,000, and the daily charging capacity exceeds110,000 kWh. It not only effectively solves the problems of electric vehicle users' difficulty in finding piles and charging, but also promotes resource sharing and economic development.
Xiao Yong, who lives in Fengtai, connected his charging pile to the car networking platform. "The owner can find my pile on the APP for charging, which is convenient for everyone and brings extra income to himself. Last year, from 65438+February to now, I made a net profit of more than 2000 yuan. " Xiao Yong said.
In addition, the State Grid has also built a photovoltaic cloud network to build an "online platform+offline service", which can realize "one-click operation" such as electricity inquiry, transaction and settlement with mobile phones, greatly improving the efficiency of photovoltaic operation. At present, the cloud network has been connected to 520,000 households with an installed capacity of 24.3 million kilowatts.
"The pressure to comprehensively deepen reform is great, but the motivation is more sufficient." Shu Yinbiao said that the original sector grew steadily, new business developed rapidly, and overseas markets continued to develop. 1 By August this year, the operating and development indicators of the State Grid were generally better than expected, and the investment, electricity sales and operating income of the power grid maintained rapid growth, with the total profit increasing by 2.9 billion yuan year-on-year.
State-owned enterprises are supported by the state, and reducing their holdings is also to reduce people's living costs.
