LED lighting "zero Shoufu" rejected

Abroad the successful operation of the EMC mode in the decades, China has experienced The climate does not suit one.

Recently, in Chongqing a tunnel lighting project, the tenderee requires use of LED lighting EMC model was actually in Shanghai, think twice and PHILPS 6 successful enterprises against the collective.

EMC mode, that is, LED lighting procurement side "zero cost" facelift LED lighting equipment, and the use of energy-saving transformation after the savings in electricity tariffs in the late part of the business model of payment LED production enterprises investment and profits.

As one of the successful enterprises Guangdong Zhonglong Communications Technology Co., sales manager Yang Bo told the "Chinese information" and economy in an interview said: "we were indeed involved in the negotiations, but the negotiation process is very difficult, if the party in accordance with the tender conditions we can make no profit. "

With the rapid development of "ten city lights" project and the promotion of LED lighting industry, in order to ensure the safety of engineering project investment, contract energy management system (EMC) are increasingly being used in LED lighting engineering requirements.

In the foreign successful operation of the LED lighting of the EMC mode in the end what problems? Whether encountered acclimatized?

EMC mode "looks beautiful"

With the promotion of LED lighting and the development of national support for the introduction of EMC, EMC is feasible, the industry has become the focus of discussion.

The EMC mode is praised by the Chinese government for its advantages. In April this year, the general office of the State Council formally forwarded the opinions of the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of finance, the people's Bank of China and the State Administration of Taxation on accelerating the implementation of contract energy management to promote the development of energy saving service industry.

What is the EMC model? EMC is the abbreviation of EnergyManagementContract, that is, contract energy management, which is a new energy-saving mechanism in the developed countries.

The essence of this model is to reduce energy costs to pay the full cost of energy-saving projects. Plainly is the lighting procurement can 'zero cost' LED lamps. The deputy director of the office of Guangdong province EMC Chen Yixi to the "Chinese alliance management and economic informatization" reporter said, this is a win-win model, LED lighting market cost high threshold so greatly reduced, creating conditions for the promotion of new energy saving technology of the LED lighting.

Mention of the advantages of EMC model, Chen Yixi familiar -- through the EMC mode, the government does not invest or less input, you can complete the transformation of city public lighting system; complete the transformation of the public lighting system, the annual emission reduction targets of the local government will contribute 3% to 5%; save electricity as payment for investment returns, electricity is converted into local GDP, bring the tax for local; using advanced energy products, reduce the public lighting system of government budget allocated by the normal maintenance costs.

Chen Yixi also said that the implementation of EMC model is the biggest problem facing three barriers: the first one is the technical barriers, it not only includes the design and application of lamps, including the future of enterprise in terms of insurance products, financial support and other technical things, because in the EMC mode, LED is all aspects of production enterprises one, it is very difficult to take all aspects of the pressure; the second is credit barriers, through the EMC mode to realize the return of investment is a relatively long process, generally require 8 to 10 years, which is different from the direct government procurement, how to solve the credit problem in the long-term investment. It is an important condition for the implementation of the EMC model; third capital barriers, EMC mode is a one-time investment, long payback period of investment mode, so who pays, who To solve the problem of capital investment has become the most critical factor in the EMC model.

The reporter understands, LED the traditional sales model is mostly LED Lighting Procurement to pay part of the project, LED company after receiving the payment of construction, all the work is completed and passed inspection, LED lighting procurement will pay the remaining amount. Under the constraints of many factors, such a beautiful EMC model does not seem to be favored by LED manufacturers.

A number of LED lighting agents have expressed reluctance to participate in EMC mode. LED street dealers anonymity of "information" and China economic reporter said: "the EMC mode enables the LED manufacturers meager profits, not only take up a lot of money, and cost recovery is slow, the latter also need a series of services and maintenance, monitoring and other complex links, it is too much trouble than before the traditional model. So we don't want to participate. "

EMC mode appears to reduce the threshold of LED, so that the LED market to better develop. Wind Power Technology Co., Ltd. chief engineer Xiong Haiyan said.

But at the same time, he also raised the question: after lighting the user to replace the LED street lamp, the way to return the funds through the monthly savings of electricity customers into the company's accounts in batches. In the long recovery period, LED street lamp manufacturers are responsible for product maintenance.

"We also provide services for LED lighting equipment, which adds a lot of cost and makes the process more complicated. If we have projects in all parts of the country, is it necessary to set up service teams in all parts of the country? Xiong Haiyan said.

The new model bitter old enterprise

In the reporter's investigation, almost all LED manufacturers mentioned EMC models have endless difficulties. Guangzhou original semiconductor lighting products Co., Ltd. Sales Manager Li Jianqing to reporters table
