Nearly extinct publicly

Wu Yan

More Department of energy staff are basic "sealing" and hard to reach. Or can only attend some private events, public events and will need to process applications

Even deserves to have a Department of energy official to attend the conferences and forums, and also rarely see them figure these days.

From the Department of energy restructuring, National Energy Board, former Director Liu tienan, this phenomenon began to appear. After the corruption case came in consecutive Energy Council was over in silence, almost no public response, officials nearly died out in public.

Reporters combed from 2012, Liu tienan, the first financial daily reported, the energy Bureau of anti-corruption after a final investigation process found that officials of the anti-corruption work of the National Energy Board and the Concussive impact of the Act can be seen.

"His" shock wave

Liu tienan has been reported, comes as the eve of the energy management system. When the end of 2012, energy reform unclear direction. To reorganize the Department of energy's great popular demand, to exercise unified supervision over energy.

After Liu tienan has been reported, still serving as national Secretary for energy until 2013, when the "two sessions", the Department of energy and the electricity regulatory Commission restructuring, Liu tienan, the outgoing Secretary, retain the position of Deputy Director of the national development and Reform Commission.

On May 11 last year, citing the national development and Reform Commission took Liu tienan, removed four days after Liu tienan, Deputy Director of the national development and Reform Commission, his name and resume from the NDRC's Web site was removed. Around Liu tienan, involve what the hell, parties say.

Prior to January 2013 the Energy Conference was presided over by Liu. Compared to previous years, the Energy Conference "fortified" and almost no media access. And local energy officials publicly denounced Energy Board approval at the meeting to hold it too strict, impact on local economic development.

In May, as his official was taken in for questioning by Central Commission for discipline inspection, has caused worries about whether Department of energy officials involved in Woan guesses. The news that, in his last phase, power Secretary promoted to Deputy Secretary for energy, Xu Yongcheng had been investigated, but without official confirmation.

2013 energy before and after the meeting, party discipline inspection group of the Energy Board established a new full-time, Dai Xiaoshu served as group leader. In April of that year after the Department of energy restructuring, continue to serve as party discipline inspection team leader and member of the Energy Council.

But after the Department of energy to implement State Council policies, decentralization and actively cancel approval authority, approval during his term project was referred to as the spot approval, it becomes the focus of questioning.

Meanwhile, after the reorganization of the National Energy Board was established, would tighten foreign opening from top to bottom, the deployment of "transfer functions, change, prioritizing and solving puzzles, do solid work, building mechanisms" activities. Officials were no longer audible, Energy Council internal provisions, all meetings and forums, invite, have to be reported to the Department of energy leadership, unity according to the nature of meetings to coordinate the appropriate officials to speak.

In addition, the Energy Council launched an intensive research activities, listen to the views of various regions, promote energy service companies to scientific development coordination mechanisms, establishment of various coordination mechanisms led by the Operations Division. Continued until 2014, the Department of energy has been perfecting the service mechanism.

Softening approval authority

In order to offset the impact of his case, reorganization of the National Energy Board from the outset, stressed the need to pay attention to style, and is positioned to reduce examination and approval, planning and strategy.

In the "transfer function, change, prioritizing and solving puzzles, do solid work, building mechanisms" under the guidance of the Department of energy building services energy enterprise scientific development mechanism and intensive research, understand the needs of local governments and enterprises. Then the original SERC agencies into a Department of Energy Agency regulatory power and extends up to field.

Department of energy in the second half of 2013 resources contacts established mechanisms, party member of counterpart resources to provinces by the Energy Council. Through this mechanism, we listen province development demands integrated and focused on resolving bottlenecks restricting the development of energy science and strong reaction from local problems, determining strategic positioning, the energy province development objectives, policies and measures; promoting local energy resource advantages into advantages.

Each party member has contacts provinces, mainly officials research ways to listen to comments and suggestions of local energy. Places generally hope that the Department of energy will support projects in the province, and orchestrates project approval across the region, as well as in the coordination of horizontal relations among different sectors in the construction of energy projects.

In April this year, after two batches of cancellation and after the delegation of approval authority the Department of energy released retains approval rights. A Hubei energy executives then said to the reporter, the vetting and approval authority is mainly to avoid mutually conditional approval, make it become truly independent activities. According to the original examination and approval process, there is always the space rent.

But even with decentralization, vetting and approval authority is present. And approval of energy projects is often very broad, involving different ministries and agencies, and working mechanisms failed to establish after the decentralization of approval authority, officials seem a bit hard to follow.

An energy Bureau under the institution's policy researcher explained to reporters, Department of energy officials no doubt had an accident related to the vetting and approval authority, some people involved in things many years ago, but at the same time, at the request of capacity constraints, environmental, security and other energy Board's approval also is necessary. Many energy companies are trimming, Enterprise and management of the Department's jurisdiction is not clear, need to be gradually transferred to management. Approve key ways, you can plan projects, avoid one thing.

Into silence

Since April this year, Energy Department officials crowded accident, let the energy sector once again become the focus of anti-corruption.

In mid-April, national energy administration of the nuclear Division Hao Weiping were investigated. A month later, reversal, first prosecution for alleged bribery, Hao Weiping, Wei Peng, Deputy Director of the Division of coal far to take coercive measures; after Xu Yongcheng, Deputy Director of the National Energy Council, the new energy Secretary Wang Chun were filed for investigation and coercive measures.

4 officials within a week after it has been filed for investigation the Department of energy was plunged into silence. Staff overseas do not respond, usually replied, this time to speak, even the business issues are not discussed.

On May 7, the Department of energy Web site also announced that announced the issuance of the follow-up to establish and improve the system for punishing and preventing corruption in 2013-2017 of measures for the implementation of the work plan.

Deployed anti-corruption measures for the implementation of this important task 5, emphasis on discipline inspection and supervision organizations should define the responsibilities, transfer functions, transfer mode, changing style, comprehensive in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities.

In June, the National Energy Board was also issued on the implementation of the "one post double responsibility" do well the party's work style and clean government primary responsibility for the implementation of views. For energy by the party organizations and leading cadres at all levels to seriously implement the responsibility of uncorrupted. Specific to implementing the selection and appointment responsibilities, style correction power restriction to liability, responsibility, handling responsibility, management responsibilities, as well as improving the Organization of cadre supervision and responsibility, education leadership.

In the meantime, Department of energy officials are silent, public meetings and forums to see people. Our journalist contacts through other channels, has also been in various ways to Dodge.

National Energy Board personnel are scarce, have a tradition of seconded personnel, one person works in an energy Central, told reporters in April of this year he was seconded to the Department of energy, the main work is ready for fighting corruption and building materials.

More Department of energy staff are basic "sealing" and hard to reach. Or can only attend some private events and public events will need to process the application.

This reporter observed since last year to fight corruption starting from energy companies, and then spread to the administrators. Officials involved, but also affect the work of actual implementation, a lot of big energy firms to cut investment, a number of new projects were delayed in watching changes in the environment, it is not only the State-owned energy company events, also affects the Energy Department officials.

From the official website of the Department of energy, project approval this year and less. However, in a number of areas, such as distributed solar power projects, where construction was not positive, long with policies such as renewable energy quota system disappeared. Projects in other areas, you are also subject to the background of the economic slowdown, the rhythm is slowing down.

Energy is the focus of this year's anti-corruption area, as at present, in addition to PetroChina, coal power sector, Department of energy system has multiple people involved in the corruption case, still unable to determine whether it will continue to ferment. In every kind of in a wait-and-see, tangled, his last May, has been investigated, just more than 1 year. (Source: business daily)
