Recently, the on-site promotion meeting for key construction projects in Cangzhou City for the third quarter of 2024 was held at the site of the 10GW/year supercapacitor project of Xinlian Shidai (Hebei) Technology Co., Ltd. in Huanghua City, Bohai New Area. On that day, 214 key engineering projects with a total investment of 40.44 billion yuan started construction, covering multiple fields such as strategic emerging industries, upgrading of traditional industries, modern service industries, infrastructure, and social welfare.
　　Since the beginning of this year, Cangzhou City has planned projects with reform as the driving force, advanced projects with investment as the support, attracted projects with opening-up as the lever, and served projects with demand as the orientation, comprehensively promoting project construction to improve quality, speed, and efficiency, and continuously injecting strong momentum into high-quality development.
　　Ensuring progress: establishing a working mechanism for key project construction
　　The construction of key engineering projects is the source of momentum for economic development and a powerful lever for cultivating and developing new quality productive forces and building a modern industrial system. This year, Cangzhou City has implemented a total of 515 provincial and municipal key construction projects, with a total investment of 276.76 billion yuan and an estimated investment of 44.72 billion yuan for the year.
　　Since the beginning of this year, Cangzhou City has continued to intensify the construction of key projects, providing important support for high-quality development. The city has established a working mechanism for key project construction, including 15 special mechanisms in 4 major categories: preliminary reserve of key projects, advancement of key projects, supervision of key project construction, and annual assessment of key project construction work. It has continuously improved mechanisms such as project commencement and observation and evaluation, promoted the inclusion of all key projects in the positive list, and made every effort to ensure implementation, commencement, and commissioning. At the same time, it has strengthened leadership liaison and deepened the "six ones" mechanism, namely one key project, one annual target, one liaison leader, one dedicated working team, one construction schedule, and following through to the end. In addition, it has done a good job in supervising key project construction, carried out "look-back" reviews, and analyzed existing problems item by item according to the principles of examining reserves for planned projects, examining statistical inclusion for newly planned projects, examining progress for projects under construction, and examining results for commenced projects, defined effective measures, and effectively accelerated the progress of key project construction. In the first seven months, the 515 provincial and municipal key projects completed a total investment of 33.1 billion yuan.
　　While accelerating the construction of key projects, Cangzhou City has also strengthened the planning and reserve of provincial and municipal key preliminary projects. In the first seven months, Cangzhou City approved a total of 34 provincial key preliminary projects, with a total investment of 72.12 billion yuan, achieving full coverage of all counties (cities and districts); and reserved 230 municipal key preliminary projects, with a total investment of 70.08 billion yuan.
　　"Next, we will take refined project services as the entry point and provide strong guarantees for key project construction through effective measures such as strengthening institutional guarantees, enhancing whole-process services, and carrying out hierarchical and classified dynamic management," introduced Pang Danlei, chief of the Comprehensive Key Construction Section of the Cangzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission.
　　The city uses reform thinking and innovative measures to plan projects, expand the total supply of factors, and improve the efficiency of resource allocation. At the same time, with investment as the support, it advances projects at a faster pace, focusing on process optimization, efficiency improvement, and hidden danger investigation, and pushes project construction onto the fast track. In addition, with opening-up as the lever, it attracts projects with higher efficiency, puts itself in the shoes of enterprises and projects, proactively provides full-life-cycle services and full-factor-chain guarantees, and ensures that projects truly land, investment truly arrives, and investment promotion results truly become development results.
　　Strengthening weak links: developing strategic emerging industries
　　On September 3, at the construction site of the 10GW/year supercapacitor project of Xinlian Shidai (Hebei) Technology Co., Ltd., the supercapacitor project with a total investment of 4 billion yuan started construction.
　　Why was the on-site promotion meeting for key construction projects in Cangzhou City for the third quarter of 2024 held at this project construction site?
　　"The commencement of the supercapacitor project, as a provincial key project, is not only an important milestone in our enterprise's transformation and upgrading, but also a vivid example of Cangzhou cultivating and developing new quality productive forces," said Liu Songjun, chairman of Xinlian Shidai (Hebei) Technology Co., Ltd.
　　The company's 10GW/year supercapacitor project is expected to have its first phase completed and put into operation in December 2025, with the entire project completed in December 2026. The supercapacitor project will adopt domestically advanced high-performance supercapacitor technology and combine the advantages of supercapacitors and rechargeable ion battery technology to solve the common problems of supercapacitors such as low energy density, high self-discharge rate, and high cost, truly leveraging the advantages of energy storage systems such as green environmental protection, intrinsic safety, and ultra-long life at the cell level. It is a major breakthrough in the research and development of major green and low-carbon key technologies.
　　"Compared with lithium-ion batteries, high-performance supercapacitors have high energy density, high power density, long cycle life, high self-discharge rate, short charging time, and a wide operating temperature range, and their safety is the biggest highlight," said Liu Songjun. After the project is completed and put into operation, the supercapacitor products produced can be widely used in fields such as high-power equipment, new energy vehicles, new energy ships, and energy storage systems.
　　"The supercapacitor project commencing this time is a typical representative of the new energy industry sector that we are focusing on building," said Zhang Jianhua, Party Secretary of the Cangzhou Lingang Economic and Technological Development Zone and Director of the Management Committee. As the main battlefield of "industry" in the integrated development of "port, industry, and city" in Huanghua City, Bohai New Area, the Cangzhou Lingang Economic and Technological Development Zone will take this commencement ceremony as a new starting point, continuously optimize the business environment, take investment promotion and project construction as a strong engine and important lever for the transformation of old and new growth drivers, and, on the basis of expanding traditional industries, vigorously develop strategic emerging industries and shore up weak links in the industrial chain.
　　Removing bottlenecks: providing guidance and assistance for key projects
　　On August 30, Fu Haitao, chief of the Project Office of the Economic Development Bureau of the Gangcheng Industrial Park in Huanghua City, Bohai New Area, came to the site of the Phase III expansion project of the Cangdong Power Plant of Hebei Company of the National Energy Group to learn about the project progress. His identity on this trip was "project service specialist."
　　Just two days earlier, in the Gangcheng Industrial Park, the first batch of concrete for the Phase III expansion project of the Cangdong Power Plant was successfully poured, and the project officially entered the main construction stage. "Since the project started, it took only 4 months for the first batch of concrete to be successfully poured, sounding the clarion call for the full-scale construction of the project," said Fu Haitao. After the project is completed, it will alleviate the seasonal power supply shortage in the southern Hebei power grid and further meet the centralized heating capacity of the Gangcheng Industrial Park, helping to build a comprehensive energy supply demonstration base for "water, electricity, steam, and heat."
　　Since the beginning of this year, the Gangcheng Industrial Park has explored and established a working mechanism of "project service specialists," formed a "project service specialist" service team, implemented the system of "one project, one team, one method, and following through to the end," and provided enterprises with services such as policy publicity, problem resolution, matter coordination, and factor support, improving the convenience of enterprise affairs handling and satisfaction with government services.
　　"Where the business environment is good, enterprises and projects gather there," said Zhang Chuanbin, deputy director of the Economic Development Bureau of the Gangcheng Industrial Park. The bureau has studied and analyzed all key projects in the park one by one, identified the entry points and key checkpoints for service guarantees required, launched a "point-to-point" service guarantee model, and implemented whole-process tracking and service.
　　At the same time, it provides online and offline guidance and assistance for key projects, analyzes difficult and bottleneck problems with "one policy for one enterprise," normalizes the implementation of the "notification and commitment system," and trials the new model of "replacing certificates with letters." Up to now, a total of 30 construction permits, 37 construction project planning permits, 19 civil air defense joint construction approval procedures, 24 environmental impact assessment approvals, and 14 soil and water conservation approvals have been completed, all completed before the time nodes, helping projects start quickly and land early.
　　Since the beginning of this year, based on comprehensively promoting project construction to improve quality, speed, and efficiency, Cangzhou City has closely followed task objectives and made every effort to grasp progress and statistical inclusion, promoting signed projects to land quickly, landed projects to start quickly, and started projects to be constructed and put into operation quickly, setting off a boom in project construction and ensuring that quality and efficiency are produced as soon as possible. At the same time, it has continuously optimized the business environment, done a good job in project procedure handling, planning and design, and other work, and solved factor guarantee problems in the project construction process.
　　In addition, Cangzhou City has also accurately planned projects, focusing on extending, supplementing, and strengthening the industrial chain around leading industries, the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, the cultivation of strategic emerging industries, and the introduction of second- and third-level subsidiaries and innovative business segments of central enterprises in Beijing, actively attracting large and good projects.
