对此，钢铁煤炭化解过剩产能和脱困发展工作部际联席会议用本月开展的年内第三次落实276个工作日 制度督查暗访工作予以"回应"。根据工作安排，9月中旬至10月上旬，部际联席会议有关成员单位将组 成督查组，会同相关媒体记者针对煤矿落实276个工作日制度情况进行督查暗访。 持续推进 煤价上涨不影响去产能决心 多部委将对煤矿落实276个工作日制度 开展第三次督查暗访 近日，煤炭行业化解过剩产能和煤价持续上涨成为市场关注焦点。有关煤矿企业落实276个工作日制度 将有所松动的消息在业内传开。 然而，煤炭去产能任务依然十分艰巨、时间十分紧迫。国务院确定今年退出煤炭产能2.5亿吨以上， 占"十三五"总任务的三分之一多。但根据国家发展改革委情况统计显示，部分地区在今年时间已过半时 具体实施工作才刚起步，完成全年任务面临极大压力。 因此，正如国家发展改革委副主任连维良所说，煤炭去产能不仅信心不能动摇，力度也不能减弱，否则 不仅现有的价格无法巩固，煤炭价格极有可能再度快速下滑。在这方面，276个工作日制度发挥了非常 重要的作用，既实现了煤炭价格的合理回升，又让常年在井下辛苦工作的职工从此改变作息时间，并为 避免更大规模地退出产能造成 ...

此次美国得州大停电事故让人们再次回想起2011年同样发生在得州、也同样因极端天气引发的电力危 机。尽管有过前车之鉴，得州的电力基础设施投资和防寒改造依然严重不足，风险管控能力和应急保障 能力建设严重缺失。 反观我国，电力系统的安全风险管控和应急保障能力如何？在能源绿色低碳转型加速的形势下，我国电 力系统如何防范化解新的系统特性带来的风险和冲击？围绕以上问题，中国电力报记者近日专访了国家 能源局电力安全监管司负责人。 在国家发展改革委、国家能源局党组的坚强领导下，在各地方政府及有关电力企业的全力配合下，我们 提前启动了电力安全应急协调机制，组织有关电力企业加强跨省跨区电力支援和电力线路除冰融冰作 业，协调相关部门调煤保电，坚持"以人民为中心"的理念科学合理实施有序用电。在各方共同努力下， 各项措施充分发挥作用，我国电力系统经受住了多轮极端气候的考验，有效保障了大电网安全和人民群 众生产生活用电。这充分说明，在承担社会责任、保障民生供应、落实安全主体责任等方面，我国能源 电力行业具有显著体制优势和制度优势，是确保我国电力系统安全稳定运行和电力可靠供应的坚强保 障。 Q&A 记者：得州大停电事故对于我国"十四五"及 ...

美国东部时间2月12日以来，暴风雪接连席卷美国南部、中西部和东北部地区，造成多地发生停电事 故。重灾区得克萨斯州限电负荷超过2000万千瓦，影响人口超过400万人，对生产生活造成严重影响。 危机过后，以造成得州大停电的原因分析为切口，对比解读我国电力发展模式对极端天气的承载能力， 特别是碳中和目标下新能源大规模入网的消纳举措，成为当下各方关注的焦点。就上述内容，中国电力 报记者27日专访了国家能源局电力司负责人。 Q&A 记者：在您看来，引发此次得州大停电的原因有哪些？ 答：一是暴风雪导致用电负荷陡增。得州居民用户约60%采用电加热方式采暖，极寒天气使得州电网负 荷急剧上升，在美国东部时间2月14日晚8时左右达到6922万千瓦，创冬季负荷新高。而同一时刻，得州 电网最大发电能力仅约4800万千瓦，由此出现了约2000万千瓦的电力供应缺口。二是恶劣气候导致供电 能力下降。得州电源结构以燃气和风电机组为主，占总装机的77%。受极寒和雨雪天气影响，大量天然 气管道出现冰堵导致气源供应中断，燃气机组被迫停运；许多风电机组也因设备结冰无法发电。美东时 间2月15日用电高峰期，得州总计约4000万千瓦机组无法正常运行，超 ...

在美国得克萨斯州停电危机中，部分电力用户收到的巨额电费通知单引发各方高度关注。电力供应不足 等方面的原因导致得州电力市场批发电价迅速攀升，最高达11美元/千瓦时，相当于平时批发电价的100 倍。据媒体报道，有居民仅5天时间的电费开销就高达1.7万美元。 如此飙升的巨额电价是怎样形成的？中美不同的电力市场运营模式会在应对自然灾害方面产生怎样的差 异？……日前，国家能源局市场监管司负责人接受了中国电力报记者专访，对上述问题予以解答。 Q&A 记者：中美两国的电力市场主体结构和调度管理体制有何不同？在应对突发自然灾害等情况时会产生怎 样的差异？ 答：在电力市场主体结构方面，美国目前有3000多家电力企业，其中联邦公营电力公司仅有6家，私营 企业的服务用户、售电量、收入占比均超70%。大部分私营电力运营商更加注重短期投资回报和利益的 最大化，公益属性和社会责任则相对弱化，这就导致了美国电力系统投资不足、网架结构薄弱、设备老 化等问题凸显。而在我国，市场供给侧始终保持了以发电、电网等国有企业为主的市场主体结构。在历 次自然灾害中，国有企业充分发挥了"大国顶梁柱"作用，通过团结协作，共同确保了电力安全可靠供应 和事故快速 ...
