The government promised that the price of electric power was not fulfilled yet

As the government's commitment has not been fulfilled and the electricity price remains high, at present, more than two-thirds of the calcium carbide facilities in Shanxi Province have stopped production, and the opening is also half-opened and semi-closed, which is on the verge of halting the industry's production. At present, calcium carbide companies hope that the government will honor its commitments. On April 19, the Shanxi Province Calcium Carbide Industry Association submitted an emergency report to the Yu Yujun governor and asked for attention.

An emergency report submitted by the Shanxi Province Calcium Carbide Industry Association to the governor requested the provincial government to fulfill the following commitments: First, stop the implementation of the “water resources compensation fee”, “power base construction fund”, and “utility for urban public utilities” and other three expenses. These three expenses were promised by the government as early as 1997 when they were issued. They will be suspended until 2005 and are still being charged. The second is to fulfill the commitment to support enterprises that meet industrial policies. The main issue is the price of electricity. "Shanxi Province Power Network Sales Price List", "electricity price" column, (in the case of 35 ~ 110 kV), the large industrial electricity price of 0.316 yuan / kWh, of which calcium carbide electricity price of 0.293 yuan / kWh. However, in the implementation of Shanxi, only calcium carbide furnaces before the 1980s were executed at calcium carbide electricity prices, and the rest of them all implemented large industrial electricity prices. On this issue, the production enterprises have responded strongly: On the one hand, the documents more than 20 years ago are still in use, which does not meet the actual objective conditions; on the other hand, other provinces and districts do not have this phenomenon, are in accordance with the price of what products to implement what price; It is a commitment to truly implement the peak-to-valley price. This is not only beneficial to calcium carbide production enterprises, but also conducive to balancing the use of electricity in the province's power grids and the rational use of electricity resources; Fourth, the government is requested to further promote the rectification of the calcium carbide industry in accordance with the "access conditions for calcium carbide industry" and related national industrial policies. Enterprises that do not comply with national industrial policies and calcium carbide furnaces are destroyed.

Shanxi is one of the major provinces of calcium carbide production in the country. The output of calcium carbide accounts for 1/4 of the total output of the country. The output value of calcium carbide industry accounts for 12% of the province's total chemical output value. By the end of 2005, the province a total of 71 enterprises calcium carbide production, production capacity of 2.5 million tons, 1.04 million tons of calcium carbide production.

According to the analysis, Shanxi calcium carbide industry-wide shutdown in the event, will affect the implementation of the national "Eleventh Five Year Plan" Outline of development of calcium carbide and acetylene chemical and other coal chemical industrial policy, will result in related industries such as electricity, building materials, chemicals, etc. influences.
