Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 14 (Reporter) -- Premier Li Qiang presided over an executive meeting of the State Council on July 14, listening to a report on ensuring the safe supply of energy and electricity during the peak summer period, deliberating and adopting the "Guiding Opinions on Actively and Steadily Promoting the Construction of "Dual-Use" Public Infrastructure in Extra-Large and Super-Large Cities", and studying and deploying the rectification work of problems found in the audit of central budget execution and other fiscal revenues and expenditures.

The meeting pointed out that ensuring a safe and stable supply of energy and electricity is a major issue concerning national interests and people's livelihood. Currently, China is in a critical period of economic recovery and industrial upgrading. All relevant parties should implement their responsibilities, form a joint force, and do a good job in ensuring the supply of energy and electricity with a sense of responsibility that "never lets down their guard". It is necessary to strengthen the power supply in key areas during peak hours, strengthen the prediction of the power supply situation, and make every effort to increase energy production and supply. It is necessary to strengthen the stable supply and price of coal-fired power generation, implement policies to support coal-fired power enterprises in terms of electricity prices, finance, and taxation, and strengthen the supervision of the fulfillment of long-term coal supply contracts. It is necessary to solidify the responsibility for ensuring supply throughout the entire chain. The inter-ministerial coordination mechanism for coal, electricity, oil, gas, and transportation security should increase the intensity of classified guidance and policy coordination. Various regions should strictly implement local management responsibilities, and energy enterprises should actively fulfill their main responsibilities for ensuring supply, and make every effort to ensure the energy and electricity needs of people's livelihood and economic and social development. The meeting emphasized that all parties should strengthen the investigation and rectification of safety production risks and hidden dangers in the work of ensuring energy supply, and resolutely prevent and curb the occurrence of major and serious accidents.

The meeting pointed out that actively and steadily promoting the construction of "dual-use" public infrastructure in extra-large and super-large cities is an important measure to coordinate development and security and promote high-quality urban development. In the implementation, attention should be paid to coordinating the activation of existing stock with the addition of new increments, actively activating inefficient and idle urban resources, and constructing relevant facilities in accordance with the law, local conditions, and needs. It is necessary to give full play to the role of market mechanisms, strengthen standard guidance and policy support, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of private investment, and encourage and attract more private capital to participate in the construction, transformation, and operation and maintenance of "dual-use" facilities.

The meeting pointed out that audit rectification is an important link in giving full play to the role of audit supervision, and it concerns the credibility and executive power of the government. For problems found in the audit, they should be broken down item by item to the relevant regions, departments, and units, and the rectification work should be taken seriously. The audited regions and units should strictly implement the main responsibility for rectification, carefully formulate rectification plans and lists, conduct special rectification of key issues to learn from past mistakes, and ensure the effectiveness of rectification.

The meeting also studied other matters.
