During the “two sessions” this year, the development of southern urban heating and the acceleration of clean heating construction have become the focus of many parties. In this regard, Zhang Pengfei, associate professor of Peking University School of Economics and head of the Department of Resources, Environmental and Industrial Economics, stated in the “Peking University Economics Conference and Two Conferences” that, from the perspective of accelerating economic recovery, by strengthening the construction of heating infrastructure, efforts to promote The release of rigid consumer demand should be an important policy starting point for promoting consumption and responding to the impact of the epidemic.
This year ’s government work report pointed out that efforts should be made to minimize the losses caused by the epidemic, and strive to complete this year ’s economic and social development goals and tasks. Zhang Pengfei said that under the premise that the growth rate of permanent income of residents is given, only when the government ’s fiscal expenditure releases the rigid consumer demand that is suppressed by residents can it realize the “four or two thousand dollars” of continuous consumption through one-time financial investment. Policy effect. The “restricted rigid demand” mentioned here mainly refers to the persistent consumer demand that can be realized only by relying on certain public infrastructure or services.
Zhang Pengfei shows that on the one hand, strengthening heating infrastructure construction can promote the development of clean heating, which is the development of rural clean heating and the transformation and upgrading of China ’s energy structure during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period Laying the foundation; on the other hand, in recent years, the southern region of China has experienced “winter” many times. Promoting the construction of heating infrastructure in the southern region will effectively drive rigid consumer demand and drive the development of new infrastructure and new economies.
In fact, as early as December 2017, the ten ministries and commissions of the Central Committee jointly issued the “Notice on Printing and Distributing the Winter Clean Heating Plan for the Northern Region (2017-2021)” For Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the surrounding “2 + 26” key access cities, it is required that all urban areas should achieve clean heating by 2021. The county district and the urban-rural junction have a clean heating rate of more than 80%, and rural areas have a clean heating rate of more than 60%. A basic pattern of clean heating that replaces loose-burning coal with natural gas and electric heating is formed.
Zhang Pengfei said that rural clean heating needs various forms of infrastructure construction such as power grids, gas pipelines, and geothermal facilities to support and support, which will be used as consumption to a certain extent. 1. One of the means to boost investment and employment.
In addition, in policy practice, the government ’s financial investment is mainly to give the construction enterprise a one-time subsidy at the initial stage of infrastructure construction, and the energy price for residents in the short term Zero-time subsidies; in the long term, residents ’heating expenditures are mainly borne by individuals.
Zhang Pengfei believes that the implementation of clean energy in rural areas
