Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the implementation of measures to enhance the "Electricity Access" service level and optimize the business environment for electricity usage in China, aiming for a modernized and competitive electricity service landscape by 2029 [3][4]. Summary by Sections Background - The document outlines the implementation of the "Opinions on Fully Enhancing the 'Electricity Access' Service Level" issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration [1]. Service Improvement Goals - The initiative aims to achieve a fundamentally improved electricity business environment, enhancing the public's sense of electricity access [3]. - By 2029, the goal is to create a competitive electricity business environment with international advantages, leading to a significant improvement in service levels across urban and rural areas [4]. Work Requirements - National Level: Emphasis on top-level design and coordination to establish a robust mechanism for promoting the enhancement of electricity access services [7]. - Provincial Level: Coordination among relevant departments to ensure task implementation and policy support [8]. - Supply Units: Responsibility for creating a modernized electricity business environment should be integrated into the leadership's agenda [9]. Specific Measures - The document outlines 14 tasks and 38 specific measures aimed at continuous reform and innovation to facilitate electricity access [10]. - Expansion of "zero investment" services to include various private economic organizations with capacities up to 160 kW [10]. - Improvement of service efficiency, including reducing the time for electricity connection processes to a maximum of 5 days for no external power line projects and 15 days for those requiring external lines [10]. Service Model Innovations - Promotion of proactive electricity service, including early engagement with users and providing policy consultations [11]. - Implementation of expedited electricity service processes for major projects, streamlining application materials and service workflows [12]. - Introduction of precise electricity service measures, ensuring capacity standards are clear and aligned with actual user needs [14]. Digital and Integrated Services - Development of integrated services for water, electricity, and gas, allowing for joint applications and submissions [16]. - Promotion of digital services to enhance convenience, including online completion of electricity connection applications and data sharing [18]. Infrastructure Development - Focus on scientific planning of distribution networks to enhance flexibility and self-healing capabilities [18]. - Investment management optimization for distribution networks, particularly in underdeveloped areas, to improve overall power supply quality [18].

Core Viewpoint - The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration have jointly issued opinions to enhance the "power access" service level and create a modern electricity business environment, focusing on supporting the growth of the private economy [1] Group 1: Expansion of Services - The opinions propose to expand the "three zero" service targets, fully supporting the development of the private economy by extending "zero investment" for low-voltage electricity access to various private economic organizations with a capacity of 160 kilowatts and below [1] - Encouragement is given to regions with conditions to further increase the upper limit of low-voltage access capacity [1] Group 2: Improvement of Service Efficiency - The total time for low-voltage users to complete the electricity access process should not exceed 5 working days without external power line projects and 15 working days with external power line projects [1] - For public grid upgrades involving 10 kV and above, power supply companies are required to simultaneously construct supporting power grids to meet user electricity demands [1] - If the construction period for grid upgrades cannot meet the electricity access time limits, the completion timeline must be clearly defined and reported to the local energy (electricity) authorities and the National Energy Administration's dispatched agencies for record [1]
