Rural power grid is an important part of China's national power grid, but at present, the construction of power grid facilities in the vast rural areas of China is still in a relatively backward embarrassing situation, which seriously restricts the economic development of China's rural areas and the process of urban-rural integration.
Moreover, with the improvement of rural people's living standards, the replacement of household appliances, the demand for the use of electricity is also gradually rising, but the supply side and do not do enough, which has evolved into the contradiction of unbalanced supply and demand of rural networks. The transformation of rural power grid is particularly important.
The National Energy Administration recently released the Technical Principles for a New Round of Rural Power Grid Transformation and Upgrading, requiring unified construction standards to ensure project quality. Applying new technology, new products and new processes to raise the level of equipment. Adhere to green development, demolition and recycling of materials after passing the inspection, should be used in the construction and transformation of the power grid.
The circular puts forward specific technical requirements for the transformation and upgrading of high-voltage distribution network, medium-voltage distribution network, low-voltage distribution network, low-voltage household meter, automation and information communication, reactive power compensation and voltage control, etc. In terms of automation and information communication, the Opinions put forward that the new or reformed dispatching and distribution automation systems at the county level should adopt the integrated construction mode of prefecture-county transmission, and have the basic functions of power grid operation monitoring, remote control security constraints, and online status monitoring of operating equipment. New or reformed automation system should be integrated with the needs of various automation systems, unified planning and design of data acquisition platform. The communication main lines of substations and power supply stations should adopt optical fiber communication mode. Where conditions permit, optical fiber communication ring network can be used to link. The scattered communication points of medium and low voltage power grids can adopt optical fiber, wireless, carrier and other communication modes.
It is understood that this round of rural network transformation and upgrading is the third time after the two rural network transformation and upgrading in 1998 and 2010. The total investment is expected to be more than 700 billion yuan, which is more than the sum of the previous two rural network transformation and upgrading investments. The related industries and listed companies will benefit significantly.
Policy guidance to promote rural power grid construction
In fact, the country attaches great importance to the construction of rural power grid. Since the 11th Five-Year Plan period, the State Grid has begun to focus on the transformation of rural power grids, and strive to create a rural grid pattern of "electricity for every household". In May 2011, the State Council issued the Notice on the Opinions of the National Development and Reform Commission on the Implementation of a New Round of Rural Power Grid Transformation and Upgrading Project, which clearly required the new round of rural power grid transformation and upgrading to be extended to the 12th Five-Year Plan period. In September of the same year, the National Energy Administration issued the Notice of the State Energy on Compiling Relevant Requirements of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for the Transformation and Upgrading of Rural Power Grid, which further made strict work arrangements for the plan.
Premier Li Keqiang also made important instructions when the State Council held a video conference on the implementation of a new round of rural power grid renovation and upgrading project. It is an important livelihood project to narrow the gap between urban and rural public services and benefit hundreds of millions of farmers. It is an important basis for promoting agricultural modernization and upgrading rural consumption. It is an important measure to increase effective investment and promote steady economic growth. Governments at all levels should attach great importance to this, effectively strengthen leadership and overall coordination, make scientific plans, actively innovate investment and financing mechanisms, and meticulously organize the implementation of projects. Power grid enterprises should continue to carry forward the spirit of hard work, increase capital input, strengthen construction management, and make every effort to complete the transformation and upgrading of rural power grids on time and with good quality, so as to make new contributions to promoting agricultural and rural development and building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.
Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli of the State Council also said in the video teleconference of the State Council's implementation of a new round of rural power grid transformation and upgrading project that the CPC Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to the transformation and upgrading of rural power grid, make up for the shortcomings of infrastructure, and pay close attention to the implementation of the planning and guidance, so as to do a solid job in the implementation of a new round of rural power grid transformation and upgrading.
In addition, in order to do a good job in the new round of rural power grid renovation and upgrading work, we will strengthen project management, clarify management procedures and requirements, and improve the efficiency of the use of funds within the central budget. Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission also issued the "New Round of Rural Power Grid Transformation and Upgrading Project Management Measures".
"In recent years, the construction of rural power grids has been continuously supported by policies, and the investment scale has shown rapid growth, with a cumulative investment of more than one trillion yuan. The No. 1 document issued by the central government in 2015 clearly required the continued implementation of the rural power grid transformation and upgrading project. At the same time, in order to increase effective investment in key areas and play the role of stabilizing growth, adjusting structure and benefiting people's lives, rural power grids have also become the focus of investment. The continuous introduction of the policy, the transformation of the rural power grid has an obvious role in promoting. Yu information analyst Guan Dali told reporters.
Forward-looking Industry Research Institute believes that the transformation of rural network is an important infrastructure in rural areas and an important development work focusing on "agriculture, rural areas and farmers". With the continuous development of rural economy, the need of new rural construction, rural network transformation has become an indispensable part of rural development. It is expected that under the guidance of government policies, the investment in rural network transformation will be strengthened, the pace of rural network construction will be accelerated, and the transformation and upgrading will be intelligent. It is firmly believed that in the near future, the construction of rural network transformation project will be to a higher level and achieve brilliant achievements.
"Rural power grid construction has always been an important starting point for getting rid of poverty and building a well-off society. Since the 1990s, the state has vigorously carried out the construction and upgrading of rural power grids, effectively solving prominent problems such as insufficient power supply points in rural areas, weak equipment and grid foundation, unreasonable planning and design of rural power grids, and low voltage. It 'much starker choices-and graver consequences-in period, countries still will retrofit project construction as the focus, and emphasis will invest heavily in the reconstruction project, will continue to extend to' much starker choices-and graver consequences-in period, into planning to implementation, this all create a good policy environment for the development of the rural electric reform, and promote the industry development of the rural electric reform." China can build east China equipment Zhenjiang equipment company project manager Nie Guanghui told reporters.
Experts believe that the implementation of a new round of rural power grid upgrading in the decisive stage of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects is of great significance to improving rural production and living conditions, stimulating effective investment and consumption, promoting the reform of the electricity market, and helping poor areas to lift themselves out of poverty. Rural power grid is an important infrastructure, and the transformation and upgrading of rural power grid will become a new economic growth point during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. Moreover, with the continuous introduction of supporting policies, this round of transformation can greatly narrow the gap between rural and urban areas in terms of power supply services and economic level, which will lay a good foundation for urbanization.
Power grid equipment enterprises in the 100 billion market ushered in opportunities
Since rural power grids are mainly low-voltage distribution networks, from the perspective of distribution network equipment, primary equipment of medium and low voltage grade, such as transformers, cables and box-type substations, as the main components of the distribution network, will have a large increase in the procurement scale. In addition, since the focus of this round of rural network transformation and upgrading is to meet the needs of rural consumption upgrading, the demand for intelligent secondary equipment will also increase with the increase of the demand for primary equipment.
From the perspective of the new round of distribution network construction and transformation plan from 2015 to 2020, rural power grids will continue to be the key object of support. The plan clearly states that we will raise the level of universal electricity service in rural areas, continue to renovate unrenovated rural power distribution networks, and improve the power supply capacity and quality of rural power distribution networks year by year. By 2020, the reliability rate of power supply in rural areas will be no less than 99.72%, the average annual power outage time of users will be controlled within 24 hours, and the comprehensive voltage qualified rate will be no less than 97%.
Market participants said that according to the 2015-2020 power distribution network construction and transformation action plan issued by the Energy Bureau, the investment in power distribution network during the "13th Five-Year" period is not less than 2 trillion yuan, rural power grid and other fields will be the focus of investment objects. With the implementation of supporting funds and detailed policies, investment in rural distribution network will speed up, and bring opportunities for demand expansion for primary and secondary equipment manufacturing enterprises. China's rural power grid transformation and upgrading is imminent, therefore, industrial policy is also a strong support, in this context, power grid equipment enterprises will usher in a new opportunity.
Nie Guanghui pointed out that the rural power grid, as an important part of strengthening the weak links, will embrace rapid development opportunities under the impetus of stabilizing the growth of demand and improving the rural power service level. With the implementation of the policy and matching funds in place, the primary and secondary equipment manufacturing enterprises engaged in the construction of distribution network will get the opportunity to increase orders.
"The implementation of a new round of rural power grid upgrading project is an important measure to strengthen rural infrastructure construction and accelerate the process of equalization of basic public services between urban and rural areas. It is of positive significance to promoting rural consumption upgrading, driving the development of related industries and driving effective investment." Shenzhen country sincere investment consulting limited company general manager Sun Zhong told reporters.
Data showed that in July last year, the State Grid invested 67.38 billion yuan in the upgrading of rural power grids. With the 90 billion yuan planned at the beginning of the year, the investment in the upgrading of rural power grids will reach 160 billion yuan, a record high. It is understood that in 2016, the State Grid will speed up the transformation and upgrading of the rural power grid project, the first half of the year will be fully completed in 2015 the national new central agricultural power grid project, within the year to complete the new eastern seven provinces (cities) agricultural power grid and urban distribution grid project. At the same time, China launched a number of demonstration projects for smart distribution networks, upgraded old metering devices, installed 60.58 million smart electricity meters, and promoted the collection of electricity, water, gas, and heat in one meter. In addition, in 2016, it is planned to complete 13,000 natural villages to open power electricity, 27,000 natural villages power electricity transformation projects.
Some analysts point out that more than half of the investment in rural power grid construction and transformation will be used to purchase equipment, which is basically the same proportion as the transformation and upgrading of urban distribution networks. At the same time, to upgrade the rural electric reform involves the transformer, switch, cable, tower, control system, communication system, automatic control equipment, and many other areas, the upgrade of the site to more than 700 billion yuan of investment projects, electrical equipment necessary for the whole industry chain will be produced to promote role, a lot of distribution enterprises, electric power equipment company, automation and information technology to benefit therefrom.
