On March 29, the National Energy Administration issued the guiding opinions on energy work in 2022 (hereinafter referred to as the opinions), which defined the focus of energy development this year, stressed that the primary task was to ensure the safe and stable supply of energy, strive to enhance the domestic energy production guarantee capacity, and earnestly put the energy rice bowl firmly in their own hands. According to the annual target, China's total energy production will reach about 4.41 billion tons of standard coal, about 200 million tons of crude oil and about 214 billion cubic meters of natural gas. We will ensure an adequate supply of electricity, with an installed capacity of about 2.6 billion kilowatts and a power generation capacity of about 9.07 trillion kwh. We will increase the peak power generation capacity by more than 80 million kilowatts, and the transmission capacity of the "west to East power transmission" will reach about 290 million kilowatts. The opinions proposed that to consolidate the foundation of energy supply guarantee, the first is to strengthen the bottom-up guarantee capacity of coal and coal power. The approval of a batch of advanced coal mines and the sustainable development of high-quality resources include the overall planning and orderly development of a batch of coal mines. Accelerate the construction and operation of coal mines under construction, and promote the transformation of qualified emergency supply capacity into normal capacity. Guided by the demonstration coal mine, accelerate the intelligent construction, upgrading and transformation of coal mine. Scientifically plan and build advanced coal-fired power units, arrange a certain scale of supporting power supply to ensure the safety of power supply and regulatory power supply to promote the consumption of new energy, maintain a reasonable margin of installed capacity, and strictly implement the latest technical standards such as coal consumption for new projects. At the same time, oil and gas exploration and development will continue to improve. The opinions clearly stipulates that the 14th five year plan and the implementation plan of oil and gas exploration and development shall be implemented, the annual exploration and development investment and workload shall be compacted, the development and application of advanced oil and gas exploitation technology shall be accelerated, the good momentum of increasing reserves and production shall be consolidated, and the set goals of returning to 200 million tons of crude oil production and continuous and steady production of natural gas in 2022 shall be resolutely achieved. We will actively stabilize and increase the production of shale gas fields in Sichuan Basin and promote the large-scale benefit development of shale oil as soon as possible. Focusing on the coalbed methane industrial base in the eastern margin of Qinshui Basin and Ordos Basin, accelerate the exploration of coalbed methane resources and production capacity construction, and promote the comprehensive exploration and development of multi gas in coal measure strata. Steadily promote the construction of coal to oil and gas strategic base. The Opinions also proposed to actively promote the planning and construction of transmission channels. In combination with the planning and development of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases focusing on deserts, Gobi, deserts and other regions and the development situation of power supply and demand, actively promote the preliminary work of cross provincial and cross regional transmission channels that have been clearly planned. When the conditions are met, the approval procedures shall be performed promptly. Speed up the construction of Nanyang Jingmen Changsha, Zhumadian Wuhan, Jingmen Wuhan, Baihetan Jiangsu, Baihetan Zhejiang and other UHV channels. Promote the construction of power grid and power supply projects supporting key transmission channels, and strive to improve the utilization efficiency of transmission channels and the proportion of renewable energy.
