BEIJING, June 4 (Xinhua) — China has made continuous efforts to expand access to electricity to meet growing demand for high-quality energy services and ensure the country’s economic and social development.
The relevant guideline, jointly issued by the National Reform and Development Commission and the State Energy Administration, calls on energy authorities and power grid operators across the country to take concrete steps to further expand the coverage of electricity access services so as to build a modern and efficient electricity service business environment nationwide by 2029.
The aim set out in the guidelines includes providing simple and convenient electricity connection services, ensuring high-quality electricity supply, promoting green energy, providing inclusive services and conducting coordinated inspections to improve overall service quality.
The document emphasizes that the provision of electricity services is an important component in the formation of a first-class internationalized business climate in the country, characterized by compliance with market principles and the rule of law. The document is aimed at further increasing the satisfaction of the population with services in the above-mentioned area.
It outlines measures in 14 key areas aimed at improving the quality of electricity supply services, such as expanding “zero investment” low-voltage power grid connection services for non-state enterprises, introducing strict time frames for completing connection procedures, etc.
The guidelines also call for innovative electricity services, such as new hotspots to meet temporary power needs during spring irrigation and autumn harvesting, as well as to meet the needs of street stall owners and night market vendors. These efforts are aimed at revitalizing rural life and stimulating consumption. -0-
