Since April 2018, our city has launched a special action to help industrial enterprises, and the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology has carefully organized the actions to effectively promote the improvement of production efficiency and development confidence of enterprises.
Last year, according to the principle of "highlighting key points and helping by classification", the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology conducted a survey for key enterprises to understand their actual difficulties and needs.

Under the leadership of the bureau, 25 key industrial enterprises were assisted by 5 groups and a total of 54 difficulties were solved, including production factors, such as enterprise electricity consumption, land use, labor and capital, as well as the declaration of national and provincial projects. The bureau strengthened the support of industrial guiding funds and project funds of small and medium-sized enterprises to key enterprises. 54 enterprises and 55 projects in the city have been recommended and declared for industrial guiding funds in 2018 through the joint preliminary examination and recommendation of District and County Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, and Department of Finance. The bureau has actively carried out deposit clearance work involving enterprises, and has returned 3.36 million yuan to enterprises. Since January 1, 2018, it has reduced the industrial electricity price by 0.0237 yuan/kWh, released the reform dividend of 58.35 million yuan, and reduced the cost of electricity consumption of 28.119 million yuan.
