With the prominent effects of real estate regulation policies, the Heilongjiang Longtang Electric Power Investment Company, primarily engaged in heating, has faced challenges. Relying on the experience and brand accumulated over more than four years in the heating market, the company has bravely tackled difficulties and taken proactive measures, exploring new opportunities in the sluggish heating market and achieving positive results.
Seizing the opportunity brought by the signed heating construction agreements, the company is accelerating development to break through the bottleneck of heating area expansion. After more than a year of hard negotiations and discussions, in June of this year, the company signed a heating construction agreement with the Harbin Qunli Development Management Office, marking that the company has obtained the qualification to provide heat sources for nearly 30 million square meters of residential areas in the Qunli New District and the West District. Currently, the company has submitted a request document to the Harbin Development and Reform Commission to initiate preliminary work, and the next step will be to start preparing the project's feasibility report, ensuring early and thorough preliminary work, optimizing design, engineering management, and tightening processes to strive for high standards and low costs in the project.
Further tapping into the surplus heating capacity of existing heating enterprises to expand influence and achieve full-load output from heat source plants. According to the regulation that the heating load of heat source plants must not exceed 60% of the maximum heating area, the heat source plant of Jixi Longtang Heating Company, which belongs to the company, still has nearly 4 million heating loads waiting to be connected, and the self-owned heat source plant of Daqing Longtang Heating Company also has more than 1 million square meters of surplus heating capacity. As the influence of the Longtang heating brand continues to expand locally, the willingness of real estate developers to connect to Longtang heating sources has also increased significantly. Currently, the company has signed 7 heating agreements, covering nearly 1 million square meters.
By strengthening centralized control and quality flow regulation, the company aims to achieve continuous growth in heating area. Since the launch of regional benchmarking work, the company has focused on the top heating consumption values of heating enterprises in Heilongjiang Province, enhancing the quality flow regulation of primary and secondary pipelines and refining operational levels. Adjustments are made 24 hours a day based on changes in outdoor temperature, increasing communication and coordination with heat source plants to achieve precise adjustments of indicators. Through regional benchmarking and refined adjustments of indicators, the heating consumption of the company's affiliated enterprises has continuously decreased, reaching 30.72 watts/square meter in the last heating period, a year-on-year reduction of 5.45 watts/square meter, saving a significant amount of thermal energy and providing the possibility for continued expansion of heating area.
Actively conducting preliminary research on the acquisition of heating network assets to explore the market and inject inexhaustible momentum for sustainable development. According to the clear positioning of the superior company for Longtang Electric Power Investment Company to strengthen and expand the heating "cake", the company has conducted preliminary research on the heating market in several small and medium-sized cities in Heilongjiang Province.
