Electricity consumption is an important "barometer" for economic development. The "Economic Information Daily" reporters in Guangdong, Shandong, Fujian, Shaanxi and other places have learned that since this year, the electricity consumption of emerging industries in many places has grown significantly, and the new kinetic energy of the economy has continued to grow. With the continuous advancement of power market reforms, more and more enterprises have benefited from the electricity reform dividend. At the same time, some companies look forward to further optimizing the power business environment and reducing the cost of electricity for enterprises.

The growth of electricity consumption in emerging industries clearly reflects the new momentum of the economy.

Located in Guangzhou, LG Display (China) Co., Ltd. is a leading company in the display industry in China, mainly producing large-size LCD panels. Zhang Xiu, the production manager of the company, said that in the first half of this year, with the launch of the special cooperation zone of the Guangzhou-Hong Kong Smart Manufacturing Zone and the rapid growth of sales of new-generation display screens, the company has been in full-load production, with electricity consumption increasing by 20% year-on-year. The company's new plant is expected to mass-produce in the second half of the year, producing higher-value commercial LCD panels, supplying Sony, Samsung, and Xiaomi, with an annual output of 25.2 million.

"In the first half of this year, sales of GAC Toyota Motor increased by 22% year-on-year, and electricity consumption increased by 10.9% year-on-year." The head of the Power Division of the Planning Department of GAC Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. said that in line with the trend of China's consumption structure upgrade, Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Hybrid, etc. The models were favored by consumers. The cumulative sales in the first half of the year increased by 16.4% year-on-year. It is expected that the electricity consumption of enterprises will climb to 324 million kWh next year.

According to statistics, in the first half of this year, the total electricity consumption of Guangzhou City was 45 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 3.95%. The top three industries in terms of total electricity consumption are computer, communication and other electronic equipment manufacturing, automobile manufacturing and general equipment manufacturing. The electricity consumption accounts for 12.5%, 8.4% and 6.9% of the manufacturing industry respectively, reflecting the economic transformation. Upgrade and consumption upgrades bring huge market space to the industry.

In the economic province of Shandong, since the beginning of last year, it was approved to build the country's first new and old kinetic energy conversion comprehensive test area. In the past two years, Shandong has shut down nearly 100,000 scattered and backward production capacity enterprises, and vigorously cultivated a new generation of information technology and high-end equipment. New industries such as new energy and new materials. The added value created by the new kinetic energy has increased from 39% in 2016 to 48% in 2018.

According to data from State Grid Shandong Power Company, in the first half of this year, the electricity consumption of the secondary industry in Shandong increased by 2.8% year-on-year, and the electricity consumption of the tertiary industry increased by 8.1% year-on-year. Among them, electricity consumption in the automotive industry increased by 6.6% year-on-year, electricity consumption in information transmission, software and information technology services increased by 3.6% year-on-year, and electricity consumption in traditional industries such as mining industry experienced negative growth.

Li Jingbing, general manager of State Grid Shandong Pingdu Power Supply Company, said that the electricity consumption in industry and manufacturing industry has grown steadily. The growth rate of electricity consumption in emerging industries such as high-end equipment and electronic information industry is ahead, and the proportion of service industry continues to increase. The new kinetic energy of China's economy has continued to grow and the industrial structure has been continuously optimized.

Electricity reform to help companies reduce costs and increase efficiency

With the continuous advancement of power market reforms in various regions, the power trading model has become increasingly diversified, and the electricity reform dividend has been continuously released, and the burden of corporate electricity payment has been reduced.

First of all, alternative power generation enjoys preferential treatment, and market-based transactions reduce electricity prices. Xinfengxiang Holding Group, located in Liaocheng, Shandong, has an annual output of 600,000 tons of copper. Li Bing, deputy director of the Group's power department, introduced the company's alternative power generation agreement with Datang Linqing Power. In 2018, the replacement power was 8.1 billion kWh, and the average electricity price was 0.45 yuan/ Kilowatt hours, 0.19 yuan / kWh cheaper than the implementation of ordinary large industrial electricity prices, saving 157 million yuan in electricity a year. "Promptly enjoy the national electricity price accounting and other concessions, help enterprises to reduce costs and benefit, private enterprises to develop more confidence." Li Bing said.

Gong Wenjun, deputy director of the Xinjiang Electric Power Trading Center, said that in recent years, the participation of Xinjiang power users in marketization has continued to expand. In the first half of this year, the direct transaction size of power users was about 44.6 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 58%, an increase of 184 times over 2014. Benefiting from a series of market-based transactions, the cost per kilowatt-hour of related users in Xinjiang has dropped by an average of 6 cents.

Secondly, reduce the power-making link and increase the sense of power acquisition. Sun Qiang, secretary of the Party Committee of State Grid Xi'an Power Supply Company, said that Xi'an will reduce the power supply of low-voltage small and micro enterprises to less than three, and the average power-on time is reduced to less than 15 days. According to the State Grid Shenyang Power Supply Company, there are currently 1,947 small and micro enterprises in Shenyang that have experienced the convenience and benefits brought by the “acquisition of electricity”. The number of newly installed households in small and micro enterprises increased by 43% year-on-year, and the electricity receiving time was reduced from the original 48.2 days to less than 15 days, saving enterprises the investment cost of 92,700 yuan/household.

Once again, take the initiative to let the company benefit more businesses. State Grid Shandong Electric Power Company increased its investment, investing in large and medium-sized enterprises such as urban and above park users, new and old kinetic energy conversion key projects, etc. to the customer planning red line; 160 kVA and below in the urban area of ​​the province, 100 kVA in rural areas The following small and micro enterprises have invested in low-voltage access to energy meters, providing a total of 432,000 small and micro enterprises with “zero investment” services, saving users a total of 1.156 billion yuan.

Optimize the electric business environment to reduce the cost of electricity companies

Xi'an Xidian Transformer Co., Ltd. is a large enterprise under the Xidian Group of China. Lian Jun, head of the company's power department, said that in 2018, the company's electricity consumption accounted for 34.9% of the total energy consumption of purchased energy. The potential of electricity consumption has yet to be developed, but compared with other energy sources, the current relative price of electricity is relatively high, which is not conducive to enterprises. Further expand the power consumption.

State Grid Shandong Zhaoyuan Power Supply Company, State Grid Dezhou Lingcheng Power Supply Company and other relevant persons said that although the current large industrial electricity price has decreased, compared with the decline in general industrial and commercial electricity prices, it is still relatively high, and can be used for research. Users with large power consumption will implement a certain preferential price policy.

A large food company in Shandong is mainly engaged in livestock and poultry slaughtering and meat processing. According to the company's report, the current electricity price of the enterprise is the large industrial electricity price. Regardless of the amount of electricity used in the month, the basic electricity fee for a fixed amount is required every month. Last year, this company's factory generated a total of 518,000 yuan in electricity costs, accounting for 13.6% of the electricity bill.

According to industry insiders, according to the current national policy, enterprises that implement large industrial electricity prices will suspend electricity consumption for more than six months throughout the year. The excess electricity fees will still be paid for the excess. It is recommended that relevant departments appropriately adjust this policy to reduce the burden on enterprises.
