The Officials Of The Electricity Regulatory Commission Laughed At Their Plight: They Had No Right To Supervise, But Nothing To Do.

"No power, no prison, no power, no prison, no prison."

In June 20th, an official of the State Electricity Regulatory Commission reported to the newspaper reporter about the current regulatory difficulties of the Electricity Regulatory Commission.

Due to limited functions and powers,

"It is difficult for us to find our position and work cut in point. We urgently need the State Council to define its position and function more clearly.

This is the biggest perplexity of the Electricity Regulatory Commission in its work practice.

The above-mentioned Electricity Regulatory Commission officials said.

A few days ago, Wu Xinxiong, the fourth chairman of the Electricity Regulatory Commission, took office.

The electric regulatory commission system hopes that Wu's arrival will change the weak predicament of the current power supervision.

Supervision of Electric Regulatory Commission is weak

Although the State Electricity Regulatory Commission is a ministerial institution, its functions and powers are rather marginal.

In 2002, the State Council set up the State Electricity Regulatory Commission. Its main duties are: Making

After the establishment of the Electricity Regulatory Commission, it has a cross function with the NDRC in the management of electricity prices.

"Initially, the Electricity Regulatory Commission was more powerful and did not give up the right to price management.

Finally, compromise.

The aforementioned officials of the Electricity Regulatory Commission recalled.

The dispute between the two departments has aroused the State Council.

In 2005, the Central Committee issued the notice on the division of responsibilities between the development and Reform Commission and the Electricity Regulatory Commission.

The State Council approves and approves the investment of electric power construction projects.

Because of limited power, the supervision of the Electricity Regulatory Commission is relatively passive.

"The regulatory bodies of the Electricity Regulatory Commission are mainly state-owned power enterprises, but it is difficult to carry out substantive supervision.

From the management system alone, it is difficult to define that they are the subject of supervision.

The Electricity Regulatory Commission official said.

From the dispatch of the Electricity Regulatory Commission and the state ministries and commissions, we can find that the relevant departments of provinces and municipalities, the dispatched offices of the Electricity Regulatory Commission, and the power enterprise groups are in the same position in the main body of the receipt. In the process of organizing and implementing the supervision, the power enterprises are mainly supervised objects, but often they should be taken as the organizers of their counterparts and listed in the government departments.

"The Electricity Regulatory Commission has no right to supervise, to be unable to supervise, to be unable to supervise, to have nothing to supervise."

In the aspect of power supervision, the Electricity Regulatory Commission is mainly responsible for supervising the price of electricity and pmission and distribution of electricity.

But at present, there is no effective system and superordinate law to support it.

The Electricity Regulatory Commission official said: "if the current electricity price system, the profits and losses of power generation enterprises and power grid enterprises depend entirely on the level of electricity prices.

The principle of electricity price approval is also the cost plus profit pricing, which is based on the enterprise's own cost as the core price, and the credibility is not high.

Secondly, as a monopolistic power grid enterprise, with the monopoly advantage of power supply, there are enterprises in the engineering supervision to provide public interest in the design, construction, equipment supply, service and other links.

"These need urgent supervision of electric power to play a role."

Electric resistance is too big.

In 2002, the Electricity Regulatory Commission was set up because of electricity reform, but now many officials of the Electricity Regulatory Commission are reluctant to talk about the reform of the electricity system.

"The resistance to reform is too great and there are many interests to deal with."

Since the start of the electricity reform in 2002, the government work report and the economic work report have described the reform of the electricity system over the years, but there has been no action.

The top government did not put electricity reform on the agenda.

In recent years, the Electric Regulatory Commission has been pushing forward direct trading of large users, multilateral trading of electricity, p provincial electricity trading and generation rights trading.

The Electric Regulatory Commission hopes to establish a platform for direct trading of large users and power companies, establish a two-way negotiation mechanism, and break the monopoly of Power Grid Corp.

"If the proportion of direct electricity pactions of large users can reach 60%~70%, the electricity market reform will be half successful."

Electric Regulatory Commission officials said.

The Electricity Regulatory Commission is entangled in the fact that the pilot projects of direct power supply for power generation enterprises and large users in the region have not been effectively carried out, and have failed to change the pattern of exclusive purchase of electricity by power grid enterprises.

"At present, in addition to Fujian, the direct trading of large users in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui and the multilateral trading of Inner Mongolia power are all halted because of the contradiction with the policy of energy conservation and emission reduction."

The official said.

The Electricity Regulatory Commission official explained, "the mode of direct purchase of large consumers has weakened the government led electricity price mode, and the power of the price management department has been separated. The power grid enterprises still monopolize the power of dispatching power, and do not want to reduce the cost of pmission and distribution.

Moreover, local governments are reluctant to let coal resources drain. "

The power grid is still keen on the purchase and sale of electricity.

Taking the p provincial (regional) electricity market as an example, he said, "in the paction, the power grid enterprises unilaterally formulate trading plans and determine the price of electricity, which is more common, and the power generation enterprises and users can not participate in the paction."

The source of coal is to protect resources for all, set up provincial barriers, and obstruct cross provincial (regional) trade free development.

In the period of tight supply of electricity, it is more serious.

In 2010, due to the tight supply of electricity, the Henan provincial government requested that the power supply be stopped, resulting in the completion rate of Henan electric power paction to Hubei and Hunan only 66.89%.

In the face of complex interest game, in the process of talking with our reporter, the official repeated one sentence: "the Electricity Regulatory Commission has suffering words."
