4.3.3 Optimize Energy Exploration Layout and Enhance Energy
Transmission Channel Construction
4.3.3.1 Optimize the Exploration Layout of Middle, East and West
Part of China
At present, energy transmission pattern of North-to-South and West-to-East Coal
Transportation, North-to-South Oil Transportation, West-to-East Power Transmis-
sion, and West-to-East Gas Pipeline places heavy pressure on energy transportation
and utilization. Therefore, the Twelfth Five Year Plan directly put forward to make
an overall plan on national energy development and construction emphasis to
optimize energy exploration layout. Take all factors into consideration including
energy endowments, water resource distribution, biological environment carrying
capacity and regional economic development level. Based on the principle of
accelerate West, stabilize Middle and optimize East, establish a energy develop-
ment layout with advantages complementary of energy, high-efficient disposition
of resources, energy exploration and environment in harmony.
Meanwhile, strengthen national comprehensive energy base construction, to
build five national energy bases including Shanxi, Ordos basin, east and southwest
part of Inner Mongolia as well as Xinjiang, with an emphasis in nuclear power
construction in east coastal area and Chinese middle-area, which forms an overall
energy exploration pattern of 5 + 1. Improve the level of local processing and
conversion of energy and reduce the pressure from long-distant and large-scale
transportation for primary energies. Make rational planning for energy storage
facilities, advance oil reserve system, and enhance the natural gas and coal reserves
as well as peak regulation and emergency capacity.
4.3.3.2 Strengthen Oil and Gas Pipeline Construction as Well as Modern
Power System Construction
During the Eleventh Five Year period, leading oil and gas pipeline network was
established initially, which made great contribution for cross-region dispatch of
China's energy.
During the Twelfth Five Year period, China will continue to speed up the oil and
gas pipeline network construction, fasten the strategic channel establishment for
northwest, northeast, southwest and overseas imported oil and gas, improve main
domestic oil and gas pipeline network, make an overall plan on natural gas
importing pipeline, liquefied natural gas terminal, cross-region major gas transmis-
sion network and distribution pipeline network construction, form a supply pattern
of natural gas, coal bed gas and coal based gas coordinated with another. By 2015,
total length of oil and gas pipelines will be about 150, 000 km.
Power transmission is instant, fast and low-cost, an important way for energy
conversion in place and a crucial approach to realize new energies and renewable
energies. During the Twelfth Five Year Plan period, in order to adapt to the
requirement on large-scale cross-region power transmission and new energy
power grid integration, China will speed up modern power network system con-
struction, further to enlarge the scale of power transmission from west to east,
