The people’s governments of all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, various ministries and commissions of the State Council, and various agencies directly under the State Council: The Plan for Improving the Dual Control System for Energy Consumption Intensity and Total Volume has been approved by the State Council. .

Improve the dual control scheme of energy consumption intensity and total amount

Implementing dual control of energy consumption intensity and total amount (hereinafter referred to as dual control of energy consumption) is an important institutional arrangement to implement the requirements of ecological civilization construction, promote energy conservation and consumption reduction, and promote high-quality development. Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", various regions and departments have conscientiously implemented the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and achieved positive results in the dual control of energy consumption. However, there are also lack of flexibility in the management of total energy consumption and lack of differentiated management measures for dual control of energy consumption. And other issues. In order to further improve the dual control system of energy consumption, the following scheme is now proposed.

1. General requirements

(1) Guiding ideology. Guided by Xi Jinping’s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, thoroughly implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the spirit of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Plenary Sessions of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, as well as the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, and strengthen the “four consciousnesses” and strengthen "Four self-confidence" and "two maintenance", earnestly implement Jinping's ecological civilization thought, follow the decision and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, based on the new development stage, fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern, and promote High-quality development, guided by a more reasonable allocation of energy resources and a substantial increase in utilization efficiency, with the establishment of a scientific management system as a means, and with the support of improving basic capabilities, strengthening and improving the dual control of energy consumption, deepening the revolution in energy production and consumption, and advancing Total energy management, scientific configuration, and comprehensive conservation, promote clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient use of energy, force adjustments in industrial and energy structure, help achieve carbon peak and carbon neutral goals, and promote economic and social development, a comprehensive green transformation and ecological civilization New progress has been achieved in construction.

(2) Working principles.

—— Adhere to the combination of giving priority to energy efficiency and ensuring reasonable energy use. Adhere to the priority of conservation and efficiency, strictly control the intensity of energy consumption, change the method and adjust the structure, and guide all regions to pay more attention to improving the quality and efficiency of development; reasonably control the total energy consumption and appropriately increase management flexibility to ensure economic and social development and people's livelihood Improve the rational use of energy.

—— Adhere to the combination of universal requirements and differentiated management. Put energy conservation through the entire process and various fields of economic and social development, curb unreasonable energy consumption, and greatly improve energy utilization efficiency; combined with local realities, differentiate energy consumption dual control goals, encourage the use of renewable energy, and focus on controlling fossil energy consumption.

—— Adhere to the combination of government regulation and market orientation. Strengthen macro guidance, improve policies and measures, give play to the decisive role of the market in the allocation of energy resources, promote the paid use and trading of energy use rights, guide the rational flow and efficient allocation of energy elements, and promote the full completion of energy-saving and consumption-reducing targets in all regions.

——Insist on the combination of incentives and constraints. Strictly evaluate the responsibility of energy-saving targets and use the results, strengthen the implementation of policies, strengthen incentives for regions with improved energy utilization efficiency and energy structure optimization, and increase penalties and accountability for regions that fail to achieve the dual-control targets for energy consumption; improve energy-saving laws and regulations Standards and policy systems suppress the main responsibility of practical energy and stimulate endogenous motivation.

—— Persist in the overall planning and regulation of a game of chess across the country. Proceed from the big country, overcome local and departmentalism, and prevent the pursuit of partial interests from harming the overall interests and interfering with the overall situation of the country.

(3) The overall goal. By 2025, the dual control system of energy consumption will be more complete, the allocation of energy resources will be more reasonable, and the utilization efficiency will be greatly improved. By 2030, the dual control system for energy consumption will be further improved, the intensity of energy consumption will continue to drop significantly, the total energy consumption will be reasonably controlled, and the energy structure will be more optimized. By 2035, the optimal allocation of energy resources and the overall conservation system will be more mature and finalized, which will strongly support the achievement of the goal of steady and steady reduction of carbon emissions after reaching the peak.

2. Improving the index setting and decomposition implementation mechanism

(4) Reasonably set national and local energy consumption dual control indicators. Improve the management of dual-control energy consumption indicators. The state continues to make the reduction of energy consumption intensity a binding indicator in the five-year plan for national economic and social development. Control the five-year goal. The state implements dual-objective management for the reduction of energy consumption intensity in various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government). The basic target is the binding target that each region must ensure to complete, and the incentive target is set by a certain range beyond the basic target. At the national level, a certain amount of indicators is reserved to coordinate and support the energy demand of major national projects and the development of renewable energy. All provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) determine the annual targets based on the five-year goals set by the state and the actual conditions of their regions and report them to the National Development and Reform Commission for the record. The National Development and Reform Commission has strengthened the window guidance for local annual targets and tasks in accordance with the decline in energy consumption intensity across the country and in various regions.

(5) Optimize the implementation of dual control indicators for energy consumption. Take the energy output rate as an important basis, comprehensively integrate the economic and social development level, development positioning, industrial structure and layout of each region, energy consumption status, energy saving potential, energy resource endowment, environmental quality, energy infrastructure construction and planning layout, previous Factors such as the completion of the five-year plan targets, and rationally determine the energy consumption intensity reduction and total energy consumption targets of each province (autonomous region, municipality). In the decomposition of the total energy consumption target, a moderate preference is given to regions with higher energy use efficiency and rapid development.

3. Enhance the flexibility of total energy consumption management

(6) Implement energy consumption overall planning for major national projects. Relevant major projects approved by the Party Central Committee and the State Council and put into production in the current period of the five-year plan, after comprehensive consideration of the national energy dual control target, and reported to the State Council for the record, are in the annual and five-year plan current energy dual control assessment Reduce or exempt the energy consumption of the project.

(7) Resolutely manage and control high-energy-consumption and high-emission projects. All provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) shall establish a list of high energy-consuming and high-emission projects (hereinafter referred to as the “two highs” projects) under construction, proposed, and stocks, clarify disposal opinions, and submit adjustments to the National Development and Reform Commission in a timely manner. For the “two highs” projects with an additional energy consumption of 50,000 tons of standard coal and above, the National Development and Reform Commission and relevant departments have strengthened window guidance in accordance with the requirements of energy efficiency, environmental protection requirements, industrial policies, and related planning; 5 For the “two highs” projects below 10,000 tons of standard coal, each region will strengthen management and strictly control the energy consumption and dual control objectives and tasks. For the "two highs" projects that do not meet the requirements, all regions must strictly control the entry of energy conservation review, environmental assessment and approval, and financial institutions are not allowed to provide credit support.

(8) Encourage local governments to increase consumption of renewable energy. According to various provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) renewable energy power consumption and green power certificate transactions, etc., areas that have over-fulfilled the incentive renewable energy power consumption responsibility weight, and the consumption that exceeds the minimum renewable energy power consumption responsibility weight The amount is not included in the assessment of the current total energy consumption of the region’s annual and five-year plans.

(9) Encourage local governments to exceed energy consumption intensity reduction targets. For provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government) that have reduced their energy intensity and reached the national incentive target, their total energy consumption will be exempted from the assessment of the current energy consumption dual control assessment of the five-year plan.

(10) Promote market-based trading of energy consumption indicators. Further improve the system of paid use and trading of energy rights, accelerate the construction of a national energy rights trading market, and promote the flow and agglomeration of energy elements to high-quality projects, enterprises, industries, and regions with good economic development conditions. Establish a cross-regional trading mechanism for total energy consumption indicators. Provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) that have insufficient total indicators and need new layouts that meet the requirements of national industrial policies and energy conservation and environmental protection will ensure the completion of the basic target of reducing energy consumption intensity. The total amount indicators can be purchased from provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government) where the reduction of energy consumption intensity is progressing smoothly and the total indicators are surplus.

Fourth, improve the energy consumption dual control management system

(11) Promote local implementation of energy budget management. All provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) should establish an energy budget management system, formulate energy budget management plans, and give priority to energy factors to protect residents in light of the economic and social development of the region, industrial structure and energy structure, major project layout, and energy use space. Living, modern service industries, high-tech industries, and advanced manufacturing industries should control fossil energy consumption in accordance with local conditions and industries, accelerate the adjustment and optimization of industrial structure and energy structure, and reflect the requirements for high-quality development. It is possible to explore and carry out energy consumption output benefit evaluation, formulate regional, industry, and enterprise unit energy output benefit evaluation indicators and standards, promote energy factors to tilt toward industries and projects with high unit energy output efficiency, and guide the optimization of industrial layout. Encourage all regions in accordance with laws and regulations to free up space for energy use by eliminating the inferior and improving the energy consumption by reducing energy consumption and other methods, including the unified management of the regional energy budget, and coordinating and supporting the new energy demand of key projects in the region. Guide residents to form an energy-efficient lifestyle, use high-efficiency energy-saving products, and reduce energy waste. It is strictly forbidden to engage in "two highs" projects and production and operation activities with excess capacity under the banner of residential electricity consumption. All provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) have combined to promote the dual control of energy consumption, and implement dynamic adjustments to their regional energy budget management plans.

(12) Strictly implement an energy-saving review system. All provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) should effectively strengthen the energy-saving review of projects that consume large amounts of energy, especially fossil energy, and do a good job of linking up with the dual energy consumption control goals of the region, and strictly control the energy efficiency level of new projects from the source. New high-energy-consuming projects must comply with national industrial policies and have energy efficiency reaching the advanced level of the industry. Areas that have not reached the basic goal of reducing energy consumption intensity are required to postpone the approval of high-energy-consuming projects during energy-saving review and other links. New high-energy-consuming projects must be replaced by equivalent reductions in energy consumption. Deepen the reform of the energy-saving review system, strengthen the supervision during and after the energy-saving review, strengthen energy-saving management services, and implement closed-loop management.

(13) Improve the dual-control assessment system for energy consumption. Increase energy consumption intensity and reduce indicator assessment weights, reasonably set assessment weights for total energy consumption indicators, study assessment indicators for controlling fossil energy consumption, and use high-quality allocation of energy elements in various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), and in-depth exploration of energy-saving potential. Important assessment content. For regions that have completed the current dual energy consumption control schedule goal of the five-year plan, it can be regarded as the completion of the annual energy dual control goal. Strengthen the application of the assessment results. After the assessment results are approved by the State Council, they will be handed over to the cadre management department as an important basis for the comprehensive assessment and evaluation of the leading groups and leading cadres of the provincial people's government. Areas where the assessment result is over-fulfilled will be reported, and certain rewards will be given; areas that have not completed the basic goal of reducing energy intensity are notified and criticized, and rectifications are required within a time limit; for areas that are seriously lagging behind and work poorly, the relevant authorities shall deal with them according to regulations. Relevant persons in charge shall be accountable.

Five, organization and implementation

(14) Strengthen organization and leadership. All regions and departments should fully understand the significance of dual energy consumption control to promote high-quality development, coordinate and handle the relationship between economic and social development and dual energy consumption control, and resolutely curb the blind development of "two highs" projects. The provincial people's government is responsible for the dual control of energy consumption in its administrative area, formulates work plans, organizes the implementation, and implements the goals and tasks of dual control of energy consumption issued by the state. Relevant departments of the State Council must coordinate with the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration when formulating industrial plans with high demand for new energy use and the construction of major projects, and strengthen coordination with the energy consumption dual control policy to form a policy synergy; national statistics The bureau, in conjunction with the National Energy Administration, will do a good job in statistics of non-fossil energy consumption across the country, and guide all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) to improve non-fossil energy consumption statistics. The National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Transport, the General Administration of Market Supervision, the National Bureau of Statistics, the State Management Bureau, the National Energy Administration and other relevant departments have established dual energy consumption control work to coordinate and promote Mechanism, do a good job of decomposing the dual control targets of energy consumption in all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), carry out consultations on major issues, and report relevant situations to the Party Central Committee and the State Council in a timely manner.

(15) Strengthen early warning and control. The National Development and Reform Commission and relevant departments regularly dispatch the construction and commissioning of projects with large energy consumption in various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government), improve the energy utilization status report system of key energy-consuming units, and strengthen the construction and online monitoring of energy consumption of key energy-consuming units. application. Strengthen the analysis and early warning of the situation of the completion of dual control targets for energy consumption across the country and all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government), release a barometer of the completion of dual control targets for energy consumption, implement window guidance for areas with high warning levels, and lag behind the completion of dual control targets for energy consumption Regions, supervise and urge the formulation of early warning and control plans, and reasonably control the pace of commissioning of new high-energy-consuming projects. Regularly evaluate the completion of the national energy consumption dual control targets, and when necessary, make appropriate adjustments to the relevant targets in accordance with the procedures.

(16) Improve economic policies. Guide local governments to improve and implement energy price policies that promote energy conservation, give full play to the role of price leverage, promote energy conservation and consumption reduction, eliminate backwardness, and promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial and energy structures. People's governments at all levels must earnestly increase capital investment, innovate support methods, and implement key energy conservation projects. Implement preferential policies such as income tax and value-added tax on energy conservation, water conservation, environmental protection, comprehensive utilization of resources, and contract energy management. Improve the green financial system, improve the green financial standard system and policy measures, and provide diversified support for energy conservation. Strengthen the promotion and application of advanced energy-saving technologies and products, and encourage the development of energy-saving technological transformations. Actively promote integrated energy services, contract energy management and other models, and continue to release the potential and vitality of the energy-saving market.

(17) Consolidate infrastructure construction. Strengthen energy measurement and statistical capacity building, improve the energy measurement system, and enrich the power of grassroots energy statisticians. Further improve energy conservation laws and regulations, and strengthen the statutory responsibilities of various energy users for energy conservation. Improve the energy-saving standard system, expand the coverage of energy-saving standards, and improve and strictly implement energy-saving standards in various fields and industries. Strengthen the supervision and inspection of the implementation of energy conservation laws and standards, and investigate and deal with violations of laws and regulations in accordance with the law. Strengthen the construction of energy-saving supervision capacity, consolidate the main responsibility of law enforcement, and increase the training of energy-saving management personnel at all levels of local governments and energy-consuming units. For acts of favoritism and fraud in the dual control of energy consumption, relevant units and personnel shall be held accountable in accordance with regulations, disciplines and laws.
