The new National Energy Bureau has set up a few months, the function adjustment is still in progress. With the decentralization of some right of approval, the central and local relations is more subtle energy bodies.

"We are not the big change, is directly into the institution dispatched by thenational energy board, or perform the original SERC responsibilities." A localelectric power supervision system of "First Financial Daily" reporters.

The National Energy Bureau "sanding" program has been issued, the relevant institutions from this year NPC and CPPCC after adjustment has been done.According to the three new solutions, will strengthen the strategicdevelopment, energy development energy system innovation and regulatory functions.

But because the National Energy Bureau by the Energy Bureau and the China home appliance & restructuring comes, to implement the functions of adjusting mechanism is more complex than. Moreover, the new governmentimplementation of "decentralization", involving energy project approval authority is not in the minority, the local government also attaches great importance to energy projects, Energy Bureau Authority adjust very much.

The lack of supervision service means

The National Energy Bureau established in 2008, the provincial government ismodeled on the formation of Multiple Energy Bureau at the municipal development and Reform Commission, director of the national development and Reform Commission deputy director general held by.

There are no Provincial Bureau of energy provinces, such as Hubei, Xinjiang,the provincial energy work by the national development and Reform Commission coordination and management, the continuation of the original energy offices.

Compared with the national energy board complete operations division, bureau of local energy based only on local resources and focus on the developmentset up offices, personnel is not much. A local energy officials told reporters,the Provincial Bureau of energy power is limited, the energy projectexamination and approval power is concentrated in the national level of ministries and commissions.

The official also said, when to Beijing to visit the national development and Reform Commission and the Energy Bureau officials, to release the project approval. Even so, in the western provinces, as rich in resources, energyproject approval is still very slow, difficult to adapt to and around thedevelopment speed, was caused by the contradiction between the local and the national energy board.

The National Energy Bureau Chief Liu Tienan after the incident, the media had reported, local energy officials rhythm on the Energy Bureau approval projectdissatisfaction, affect the local economic development.

Since the national energy administration since it was founded in March, whichbegin to turn style activities, research group led the organization of member of leading Party group and deputy director, to listen to the local demandsthroughout, strengthen interaction and local government.

But the local energy officials said, at present, the Energy Bureau of supervision and service are very scarce, and the National Energy Bureau and the local bureau of energy with less, business is mainly through thedevelopment and Reform Commission system, Energy Bureau approval of the project is the development and Reform Commission issued.

Three schemes of national energy bureau emphasizes, to strengthen theregulatory functions. But the current energy system for the specific means of supervision is fuzzy. In May, the energy agency, said the creation of serviceenergy enterprise scientific development coordination mechanism will be in accordance with the various types of energy.

Agency authority is not clear

According to the Energy Bureau three fixed program, belonging to the State Electricity Regulatory Commission 6 power regional regulatory bureau andoffice 12 electricity regulatory Commissioner, is zoned to the national energy administration to implement the vertical management, responsible for the supervision and management of regional electric power energy andadministrative enforcement of law, and the power of work safety supervision.

The electric power supervision system, the sources said, so far not assume the power beyond energy supervision work, also do not know what the futurewill be how to arrange.

Traditionally, the RRB and Electric Supervisor's office responsible for the "bigthree" "small three" acceptance, approval, issuance and management.

"Three certificates", refers to the power generation business license, businesslicense, power supply business license. "Small three", refers to the electrical network into a work permit, power supervision qualification certificate andinstallation (repair, test) power facilities permit. The RRB and Electric Supervisor's office is the extension of the original SERC functions.

The electric power supervision system personage confirms, mechanism and no new corresponding institutions other types of energy, unless the correspondingset up various energy offices, can make other types of energy regulation.

The new Department of energy market supervision department and electric power safety supervision department, the main job is in the electricity marketand the security monitoring, only "fair and open" regulation of oil and gas pipeline facilities duties on the market supervision department, the traditionaloil and gas pipeline construction, management by the oil and gas companyresponsible.

This means that the abolition of the State Council, and delegation of authority,most of the local government. Relating to the energy of the examination and approval authority delegated to the local government, local development and Reform Commission will have the right of approval.

The energy officials said, the province energy projects not to the ministriesrun. But he said, local to Beijing for investment, to attract local energy projects, large-scale energy enterprises landing. He also thinks, the SERCagencies are unlikely to develop into energy regulatory agencies, versatile,may be just the transition, there will be further measures.
