This is the first question asked by many people after the personnel changes in July 1 State Grid, and many people have made quite optimistic estimates, claiming that this "reflects the central government's attitude towards power reform".

In fact, whether and how the strategy of the State Grid will be adjusted in the future was answered on May 20th, more than a month ago.

After Shu Yinbiao took over as chairman, there were also rumors that the future strategy of State Grid might be adjusted. Perhaps in response to this rumor, the State Grid website, which is famous for publishing "eight-part official document", issued a press release on May 20-"The theoretical learning center group of the company's party group held a" two studies and one doing "learning (expansion) meeting". This kind of eight-part essay, which is enough to numb the general audience, will naturally not attract too many people's attention. However, you found a crucial sentence in it: we should unswervingly implement the company's development strategy, adhere to a blueprint to the end, and strive to achieve the goal of building a "one strong and three excellent" modern company and creating "two first-class". According to the tone of the manuscript, this should be a sentence in Shu Yinbiao's official speech. In other words, there will be no substantial change in the strategy of the State Grid in the future.

So, can the arrival of Kouwei bring any change? Senior people in the power industry judge that there should be no major changes in the short to medium term. Because under the established design framework of the chairman and general manager of state-owned enterprises, the latter will not have much room to show off. Of course, a miracle does not rule out: a powerful general manager started his work and quickly guided the direction of the whole team.

According to the relevant regulations on employment in central enterprises, Shu Yinbiao, born in 1958, still has four or five years' term. It can be predicted that during this period, a series of established strategies of State Grid will still be vigorously promoted. Benefiting from this "no tossing", the State Grid will usher in a relatively stable development period. For example, the large-scale UHV construction that has attracted much attention from the outside world will not stop, and in fact it is impossible to stop. In addition, the construction of the global energy internet, which has attracted worldwide attention and the attention of the central high-level, will continue.

Many people have always felt that the State Grid has not promoted the power reform enough, and it seems that there is always a little reluctance. Therefore, any change in the national power grid is always interpreted from the perspective of electricity reform. This is an observation error.

In fact, according to the deployment of Document No.9 of the Central Committee, the pace of power reform of State Grid has never stopped. A major example in the first half of this year was the establishment of Beijing Electric Power Trading Company and 20 provincial electric power trading companies. Kou Wei's arrival may promote this work, because the power reform measures of the State Grid will inevitably involve power generation enterprises, and Kou Wei, who was born in a power generation enterprise, should feel the same way about the power reform demands of power generation enterprises. Perhaps, because of his intervention, the relationship between State Grid and the five major power generation groups will be more harmonious. This may also alleviate the accusation that the State Grid is promoting electricity reform to some extent.
