Energy industry regulatory issues once again become the focus of public opinion

From the National Bureau of energy sources, energy reform guidance has been drafted, the establishment of " energy" as the main content. Energy industry regulatory issues once again become the focus of public opinion.

22, Shandong University of Finance and Economics Institute, herald commentator Zhang Hongfeng accepted Economic Herald reporter the interview said: "the establishment of the Department of energy is a state of perfect government function, to achieve energy-saving emission reduction due justice."

" China's energy situation is grim, the available energy management system, can effectively realize the national energy strategy, establishment of the Department of energy 's direction. But the original scattered in various departments of power divided again, back to the new Department of energy, will face the departmental interests, but also on the government intelligence test." Adfaith partner, energy expert Wang Danqing to herald reporters.

Conducive to energy-saving emission reduction micro regulation management.

China is a country of great energy consumption, energy industry uses problem has attracted a lot of attention. How will the electricity, coal, oil, gas and energy saving and emission reduction, energy planning and integrated into a unified management, improve energy utilization efficiency, is the key to sustainable development. But long-term since, the energy industry management but there are many problems.

Zhang Hongfeng said, energy saving and emission reduction was once considered the" government", therefore, many scholars regard it as the" macro" into the function of macroscopical adjusting control studies. In practice, from central to local, will be energy-saving emission reduction as the target of macroscopical adjusting control. " This is not conducive to energy-saving emission reduction implementation." Zhang Hongfeng said.

Zhang Hongfeng said, macroscopical adjusting control and microcosmic compasses has a strict limit, if the micro regulation function on the macroeconomic regulation and control, not only conducive to play the role of macro-control, also bring negative effect. For example, energy saving and emission reduction, this should be at any time are needed to enhance the function of a government, but in practice, because be regarded as function of macroscopical adjusting control. " The energy saving and emission reduction should be the government micro regulation functions of macroeconomic regulation and control from the stripped out, truly reflect the regulation of the public, direct, local sex, accuracy and other features, the pursuit of long-term economy performance function."

" Developed the work of energy-saving emission reduction do better, and set up a government energy-saving emission reduction regulation mechanism and the management system of system are inseparable." Zhang Hongfeng, for example, in the United States, the Department of energy ( DOE ) is the main government energy conservation administration agencies, specifically responsible for the United States of America energy policy formulation and implementation.

In China, energy saving has a special regulation law" energy conservation law", but did not set up specializing in energy saving regulation of the administration, but by the national development and Reform Commission set the Energy Bureau and the provincial level energy conservation office to perform this function.

" This management model the impact of energy regulation effectiveness and long-term sex, should be established in accordance with the law special energy-saving regulation mechanism, first to set up the Department of energy." Zhang Hongfeng said.

The new Department of energy must have real power.

The sources of energy of our country administration dispersed, in addition to energy outside, associated with the energy sector also includes the SERC, the Ministry of water resources, land ministry and other ministries. In addition, the administrative level also exist " cease to exist except in name" regulatory embarrassment.

" At present, China's Energy Bureau is subordinate to the national development and Reform Commission, two departments. As the oil, electricity, coal and other monopoly industries, PetroChina, Sinopec, the State Grid are ministerial level, division level units of bureau of the sources of energy to its management is difficult." Wang Danqing said.

On January 27, 2010, State Council issued the notice, to strengthen energy strategic decision and coordination, decided to set up a national energy commission. " The body is a coordination committee, not physical, is in the Bureau of energy level low, unable to coordinate all aspects of the work of established under the circumstances." Wang Danqing said.

The establishment of the Department of our country the sources of energy is the ill-fated1980, the Department of energy was established, institutional reform in 1988, the Department of energy has been removed. Later, due to various reasons, the Department of energy, high voice eventually became the Bureau of energy, under the national development and reform commission.

" The Department of energy from its inception to the revocation of the interests of all parties, but also the outcome of the game each sector is clearly to be power off." Wang Danqing said.

Because the level is low, the Bureau of energy management is the biggest problem facing in the energy pricing, no power, no regulation of energy market. Wang Danqing said, the new Department of energy must have the real power, will be dispersed in the Ministry of finance, development and Reform Commission, the SASAC and other departments of power in the hands of a fully retracted, with the actual pricing, in the hierarchy of cover up, in the authority control, can really play a role. Otherwise only the empty shelves, it loses its meaning.
