The conference carried out the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Party Central Committee and the Central Economic Work Conference, discussed the major issues concerning the current development of the power industry, emphasized the need to grasp new situations and challenges, and strived to transform the mode of development of the power industry and promote the transformation of energy development methods. The transformation of service economy development mode. The meeting also studied the work of CEC.

Chairman of the China National Electric Power Co., Ltd., Chairman of the State Grid Corporation of China and Party Secretary Liu Zhenya presided over the meeting and delivered a speech. The conference listened to the work of the headquarters of the CEC in 2013 and the working ideas for 2014, analyzed and forecasted the electricity supply and demand situation in the country, and learned about and discussed the situation of energy conservation and emission reduction.

In 2013, the electric power industry conscientiously implemented the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and carried out practical activities for the party's mass line education. All work achieved remarkable results. From the scale of installed capacity, power grid size, electricity consumption, and the total number of power companies that have entered the global top 500, the scale of China's power industry has leapt to the top in the world. Under the condition of weak macroeconomic growth and overall lack of market demand, the major business indicators of electric power companies have reached the best level in history. In addition, the industry has made new breakthroughs in technological innovation, the power system has maintained a safe and stable operation, and all companies have achieved good results in innovation, internationalization, and team building.

Liu Zhenya emphasized that at present and for a period to come, the task of the development of the power industry is arduous, and it is mainly faced with five major challenges: First, the challenge of transforming the mode of power development. China’s energy structure is dominated by coal. Energy development has long pursued local balance and brought a series of outstanding problems that have been difficult to sustain. The second is to comprehensively deepen the challenges of reform. The power industry is a basic industry that relates to national energy security, economic development, and social stability. It must firmly implement the central government's important plans for reform. The third is to ensure the safety and stability of the challenge. The risk of large-scale power outages has always existed. New energy and distributed power sources have developed rapidly. The UHV backbone network framework is in a transitional period. In addition, external force destruction and natural disasters frequently occur. Various power companies still have weak levels of security management. Link. In addition, network information security also brings new challenges. The fourth is to increase the operational efficiency of the challenge. China's economy has entered a period of moderate growth, and it is difficult to sustain the development of the power industry relying on the rapid growth of electricity. It is imperative to promote management innovation and enhance the company's sustainable development capabilities. Fifth, the challenge of improving the development environment.

Liu Zhenya said that in 2014, the entire industry will still have to focus on solving outstanding issues that restrict the development of China's energy power, optimizing the layout, adjusting the structure, persisting in innovation, strengthening management, striving to transform the mode of development of the power industry, promoting the transformation of the mode of energy development, and transforming the mode of development of the service economy. To strive for new breakthroughs and new achievements. We must adhere to stability and progress, reform and innovation, and implement a series of decisions and deployments such as comprehensive deepening of the reform, accelerating the construction of new urbanization, ecological civilization construction, and prevention and control of air pollution. We must solidly implement educational practice activities and strictly implement the central eight items. Requirements. It is necessary to lead the innovation and development of the industry with scientific strategies, deepen the reform of power marketization, and strengthen the ability to innovate to ensure safety, stability, and quality service.

Recognizing the work of CEC in 2013, Liu Zhenya requested that in 2014, CEC must further improve its work level, insist on strict and standardized management, adhere to higher standards in its work, provide quality services for all units, and strengthen internal and external communication and coordination.
