On December 26, Shandong CYL (Chinese Communist Youth League) Committee issued “Letter about Approving Founding of CYL Shandong Province Electric Power Industry Work Committee”, approving the setting up of CYL Shandong Province Power Industry Work Committee based on Shandong Province Electric Power Enterprise Association (Shandong Province Electric Power Industry CYL Work Committee for short).

Since its founding, Shandong Province Electric Power Enterprise Association has attached great importance to youth development and taken it as its own essential task to train and develop the builders and successors of the socialist cause with Chinese characteristics. Feeling politically responsible for consolidating and expanding the youth base for the CPC as the ruling party, focusing on core work, and having a holistic mindset, it gets close to youth to listen to them and have an in-depth understanding of them. Near the end of 2012, through a survey it found that the CYL organization in the electric power industry of Shandong had such problems as weakness its CYL building at the grassroots and difficulty in CYL building at private enterprises and that it was a common expectation and need of the young people at power enterprises to build a unified, province-wide CYL organization in the electric power industry, allow Shandong Province Electric Power Enterprise Association to capitalize on its advantages in guiding CYL building at electric power enterprises, achieve solidarity with youth through various activities, and activate the CYL organization through standardized organizational work.

With the dramatic development of the electric power industry in Shandong, young employees have become the main force in the industry. According to initial statistics, in all the electric power enterprises in the province, young employees 35 years of age or younger account for 45.7%, while the young CYL members take up 60/1% of the young employees. For the development of the industry, it is obviously necessary to strengthen CYL building, fully motivate the creativity and passion of young CYL members so that they can make more contributions to the development of the industry.

As pointed out by Xi Jinping at the 17th National Congress of the CYL, to expand the effective coverage of CYL work, the key lies in expanding the work to where young people are most needed and try to make the CYL a “fortress” for connecting to and serving them. To meet the needs of young CYL members and promote the development of the industry, Shandong Province Electric Power Enterprise Association played its role as a communication platform inside the industry and a bridge of communication between government and enterprises, carefully conducted a survey, made preparations, and submitted an application to CYL Shandong for setting up a CYL work committee in the electric power industry in Shandong Province. With the founding of the CYL work committee, the young CYL members in the electric power industry found their “family of youth”. The new CYL work committee is under CYL Shandong Committee in organizational relations and actually under the leadership of both CYL Shandong Committee and the National Energy Administration Shandong Regulatory Office. This will allow the CYL organization to better serve the young people in the electric power industry, mobilize them more extensively in terms of wisdom and strength, and better promote CYL building in the electric power industry in Shandong.

In its next move, Shandong Province Electric Power Industry CYL Work Committee will, in meeting the requirements of CYL Shandong, effectively strengthen CYL organization building and keep expanding the coverage of the CYL in terms of organization and work; to make the CYL more attractive to the young people in the electric power industry in Shandong through various CYL activities, lead them to make more contributions to the development of Shandong as a major economic and cultural power, and unite them toward the direction of the Chinese Dream of Great National Rejuvenation.
