How to reduce logistics and electricity costs for enterprises? Shandong is doing this
Since last year, in accordance with the requirements of the national deployment, the Shandong Provincial Development and Reform Commission has focused on the construction of a comprehensive experimental zone for the conversion of new and old kinetic energy and high-quality development, based on its functions and responsibilities, and adopted a series of measures to clear fees and reduce prices on a larger scale, effectively reducing logistics and The cost of electricity has injected strong assistance to promote enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency and serve the development of the real economy.
reduce enterprise logistics cost
In order to effectively reduce the reduction and exemption of highway toll standards, the Shandong Provincial Development and Reform Commission actively cooperated with the provincial transportation department to strengthen the clean-up of highway toll stations. In recent years, a total of 26 ordinary highway toll stations have been canceled, reducing the burden on enterprises and society by 0.5 billion yuan annually. At the same time, we will strictly implement the "green channel" preferential policy of toll roads for vehicles legally loaded with fresh agricultural products, so as to reduce the burden on enterprises and society by 1.5 billion yuan a year. In addition, Shandong has further standardized the implementation subject, charging standard and charging behavior of expressway vehicle rescue, greatly reducing the charging standard of rescue service, and the charging standard of some rescue service items has been reduced by 53%.
The effect of regulating the reduction of railway and port charges is equally significant. In 2018, Shandong took advantage of the tax reduction space to reduce the freight charges for the entire vehicle of the national railway business line, reducing the freight burden on users by about 0.15 billion yuan per year; local railways in the province implemented preferential concessions for bulk goods in the dredged port, reducing transportation costs by 0.278 billion yuan throughout the year. From April 1, 2019, Shandong will cancel and merge some railway freight miscellaneous charges and reduce miscellaneous charges, and reduce the value-added tax rate of freight for complete vehicles, containers and LTL goods. It is estimated that the profit will be 2.1 billion yuan for transportation operators throughout the year. Local railways are expected to make a profit of about 0.3 billion yuan for the whole year by reducing the value-added tax rate and implementing preferential freight rates.
Inland water transport charges have also been significantly reduced. In April 2019, Shandong simplified the toll billing method for the Baima River waterway, reduced the ship toll standard by 11.7 overall, reduced the burden of inland water transportation costs, and optimized the logistics and transportation structure. In June, the Shandong Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued a document, the ship transaction service fee according to the actual transaction volume to take the difference progressive way to collect, the maximum fee standard of the three transactions from 0.8 percent, 0.4 percent, 0.25 percent to 0.7 percent, 0.3 percent, 0.2 percent, greatly reducing the cost burden of the ship transaction link.
"Improving the layout of the logistics network and reducing operating costs" is another major point of view for Shandong Province to reduce the logistics costs of enterprises. In recent years, Shandong has accelerated the construction of logistics hubs, actively striving for Jinan, Qingdao, Yantai, Rizhao, Weifang, Linyi and other cities to be included in the national logistics hub layout and construction planning bearing city scope; support and guide relevant cities to carry out the establishment of national logistics hubs, promote the coordination and convergence of logistics infrastructure, and the intensive integration of logistics resources, Further improve the overall operation efficiency of logistics. In 2018, Shandong formulated and issued the ''Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Overall Development of Eurasian trains in the Province'' to realize the integration, improvement and overall layout of the province's trains and routes, effectively avoiding vicious competition in the supply of goods, shortening the logistics time, and reducing In order to improve operating costs, improve logistics efficiency, and further open up an efficient and convenient international logistics channel connecting Japan and South Korea in the east and the hinterland of Europe in the west.
In promoting the construction of logistics information platform and reducing the comprehensive cost of logistics, Shandong's experience is worth mentioning. In addition to encouraging logistics enterprises to make full use of "internet plus", Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data and other information means to collect logistics transaction and activity information and promote the exchange and sharing of logistics information, Shandong also actively cultivates and recommends Apa Network "Quick Home" to be selected as the national backbone logistics information platform pilot, promotes the integrated development of logistics informatization and standardization, creates an open pallet recycling and sharing system, and realizes "one pallet and one identity", the whole process "does not pour the basket" "does not pour the support", at the same time with data delivery, product traceability and other functions. According to statistical analysis, Shandong's "fast support" sharing and sharing mode reduces the comprehensive logistics cost by more than 10%, including 29% reduction in inventory turnover cost, 50% improvement in loading and unloading efficiency, and nearly double the vehicle turnover efficiency.
Implement the policy of reducing industrial and commercial electricity prices
First, reduce the price of electricity for general industry and commerce. In 2018, according to the national deployment, Shandong reduced the single-system catalogue electricity price of industrial and commercial and other electricity (hereinafter referred to as "general industrial and commercial electricity price") by 7.52 points in four times by continuously reducing the transmission and distribution price and urging the self-provided power plants to undertake policy cross subsidies. On April 1, 2019, taking advantage of the price reduction space of adjusting the value-added tax rate of power grid enterprises from 16% to 13%, the general industrial and commercial electricity price of Shandong power grid was reduced by 2.14 points per kilowatt hour, reducing the electricity burden of general industrial and commercial users in the province by 1.804 billion yuan annually. On July 1, the electricity price space was freed up by measures such as lowering the standard of major water conservancy funds, extending the depreciation period of fixed assets of power grid enterprises, and re-to re-approved by the state, once again, the general industrial and commercial electricity price will be reduced by 2.716 billion yuan per year. After the two electricity price adjustments, Shandong has reduced the electricity price burden of general industrial and commercial users by a total of 4.52 billion yuan, ranking 19th in the country at present.
Secondly, deepen the reform of electricity market and reduce the cost of electricity for enterprises. In 2019, Shandong will continue to promote power market-oriented transactions, expand the scale of power market-oriented transactions to 160 billion kWh, and liberalize power users with voltage levels of 10 kV and above and annual electricity consumption of 5 million kW or more to enter the market. According to the annual long-term electricity consumption of 160 billion kilowatt-hours and 1.2 cents per kilowatt-hour, it is expected that the electricity burden of users will be reduced by 1.92 billion yuan throughout the year.
In addition, Shandong is also actively promoting the implementation of green electricity price policy to reduce the cost of electricity in some environmental protection industries. In 2019, the Shandong Provincial Development and Reform Commission will implement a policy of exempting demand (capacity) electricity charges for sewage treatment enterprises, centralized charging and swapping facilities for electric vehicles, and electricity for port power operators. Increase the support for electricity prices for centralized charging and swapping facilities for electric buses, reduce the electricity cost of electric buses, and reduce the electricity cost of relevant users by about 0.7 billion yuan throughout the year.
Price increase in the transfer of power supply from the clean-up specification to the power supply link
In order to get through the "last mile" of electricity price reduction, in 2018, the Shandong Provincial Development and Reform Commission deployed and carried out the work of cleaning up and standardizing the transfer of power supply links to increase prices.
Since 2019, the Shandong Provincial Development and Reform Commission has further increased the efforts to clean up and standardize the electricity price of the transfer power supply link throughout the province, and strive to promote enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency. On the one hand, set up a special class of work. In February of this year, Shandong established a special work class composed of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Provincial Market Supervision Bureau, and the State Grid Shandong Electric Power Company to carry out the work of cleaning up and standardizing the transfer of power supply and price increase, and establish a long-term mechanism for cleaning up and standardizing the transfer of power supply. On the other hand, carry out the "look back" work. After the Shandong Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued two sales electricity price adjustment notices on April 1 and July 1, in order to ensure that the reform dividend actually benefits end users, 1600 key power supply units in the province have been launched to clean up and standardize the "look back" work to consolidate the results of price reduction. It is understood that Shandong is the only province in the country in 2019 where multiple departments have jointly and actively carried out clean-up and standardization work at the provincial level.
"Through the clean-up and standardization, the pre-purchase electricity prices of several power transfer units in Zibo City, such as Yintai City, China Resources Vientiane Exchange and Dashang Xinmate Complex, have all been reduced from 1.1 yuan to 1.38 yuan, all of which have been reduced to the standard set by the government." According to the relevant person in charge of the Price Management Office of the Shandong Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Weifang Merrill Lynch Property, Meitao Property Service Company, Jewel City Property Management Co., Ltd. and many other power transfer companies have also reduced the pre-purchase electricity price from 1.1 yuan to 1.3 yuan. All the government standards. "A total of more than 480 power supply entities in the province have made price announcements. The third-party evaluation results organized by the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology show that more than 90% of users are satisfied with the reduction of catalog electricity prices."
The relevant person in charge of the Price Management Office of the Shandong Provincial Development and Reform Commission said that in order to consolidate the results of reducing costs and increasing efficiency of enterprises and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the real economy, Shandong will strengthen the implementation of policies and pay close attention to the implementation of work on the basis of preliminary work. we will further reduce the cost of logistics and electricity consumption of enterprises, and strive to improve relevant electricity price policies, especially in the aspect of price increase and clean-up norms in the transfer of power supply link, we will explore and formulate a new policy of "clear standards, feasible operation and easy supervision" for the transfer of electricity prices, so as to truly achieve "clear delivery by users and clear collection by transfer units".
