We will vigorously promote green consumption and promote green and low-carbon products.

Third, safeguards

1. Strengthening organization and coordination. The Provincial Energy Bureau coordinated the pilot construction work, established a regular contact mechanism, and strengthened scheduling and daily guidance. Municipal energy authorities should establish a working mechanism for municipal overall planning and county implementation, refine work measures, closely track the construction of the pilot, and promote the solid and effective implementation of the pilot work. Each pilot unit should actively plan to accelerate the construction progress and ensure the quality of construction.

2. Improving supporting policies. Encourage the head enterprise to explore innovation, give full play to its leading role. We will strengthen support for private enterprises and support and guide private capital to participate in the development and construction of pilot projects. According to the unified arrangement of new energy storage projects, the project declared by the pilot unit will not occupy the quota of the city after being summarized and submitted to the Provincial Energy Bureau by the municipal energy authority.

(3) Summarizing and popularizing experience. Municipal energy authorities report the pilot construction to the provincial Energy Bureau every six months. After the expiration of the pilot, the pilot unit should comprehensively summarize the experience and practice, the implementation effect, and form a summary report, which will be reviewed by the municipal energy authority and reported to the Provincial Energy Bureau. Promote good experience and practices in the province, and recommend the application of relevant national pilot projects.
